rambling and frantic expositions

Tell me the truth.
The truth will burn,
But it is the only thing that matters.

Lately, I've been having conversations with some people on FA, and...something occurred to me while I was out and about.
To many people, I seem to be rambling about many disjointed topics at once.
I've realized that it's not working because I'm trying to communicate a perspective, which comes from years of learning and independent research. Every bit of knowledge is connected to everything else, and when you really understand something, it is integrated into your brain and interwoven into everything else you know (this is even a physical change; connections in the mind are physical connections between neurons). And from this weave of knowledge comes a perspective that simply cannot be understood without the groundwork of knowledge underneath it.
And one simply cannot effectively convey years of knowledge gain in a few easy-to-digest notes. I've been fortunate enough to have a natural interest in what I'm trying to convey, but this is not always the case.
So, I've been making the mistake of thinking I can somehow convey a perspective by trying to frantically spout knowledge that people didn't even ask to know. It is so frustrating, because this knowledge is important, especially if you are considering reproducing in any way, but you can't make people learn anything.
