Things to consider:
-
We need broad principles for understanding the world and critically evaluating overwhelming information
-
Broad training allows ability to apply knowledge broadly
-
Circular management?
-
Living and learning along a meandering path
-
Encourage dissent and cross-boundary communication
-
Preserve range and inefficiency to get innovation
- Don't feel behind
Mental meandering and personal experimentation are sources of power, and head starts are overrated.
