I have to admit, I'm pretty choosy about the kinds of information I'm willing to clog my remaining synapses with.
By dividing and conquering, mankind has indeed amassed an enormous amount of information. I say let those in each field make good use of that information and if anything useful should filter down to me you'll have my heartfelt appreciation.
Personally I favor an uncluttered mind and aesthetic pursuits. I'm far more interested in the big picture than I am the analysis of every part. I've never really been a progress-junky, more into being than doing.
Doesn't mean I don't like people. Very often you amuse me. Thanks!
