A great interview on the value of the holistic perspective contrasted with the old 'specialize early' in long term success rates. Also great to have MidTown Scholar author interviews on RUclips for those unable to be present in beautiful midtown Harrrisburg; yay indie bookstores!
One of the better, if not best talks on so many general, and, yet, so many subtleties that is so rare in today’s day, and age. Because specialization is the hegemon in this country, the generalist, interdisciplinary are so largely not even terms that i’d say 95% of ppl are familiar with in the slightest [and not because of anyone’s ability to comprehend - everyone can understand all of this, I’m sure (if taught correctly, and if they’re understood in how they learn best)]. And because I too believe in the majority, if not all of what David espouses here - buttressed by my life experiences, and observing others’ - I wish this stuff was being discussed, in educational circles certainly, but even moreso in the larger noneducational circles we call life, family, community, culture, and society. Damn good stuff, David. Can we get you a setting where you can just go off without any time limit though? Lol. That 55 minutes went by in a jiffy for this guy (points at self). Northern Virginia guy, here, so Harrisonburg isn’t far, woot-woot (regional/geo-proximate-based community, camaraderie, lol).
