Is it becoming an expert in any hobby or just that one? Because I have a couple hobbies I'm an expert in, one I am two heartbeats away from being the world authority in, and I don't think it's helped my brain.

Are those heartbeats someone else's and are they now dead? Also what hobby? This peaked my interest a lot.

yes they are other peoples, and no they are not yet dead.
