Needless splits, or does that need saying? We have quite a polymathic
group here. Many persons other than Nadia and Natasha, including myself,
have posted on art topics, and Nadia and Natasha have posted on technical
topics.
Pigeonholing seems a needless remnant of the prior economic need to
specialize, whereas now and in the future an interdisciplinary approach
will produce the ideas and products that carry humanity forward.
