Hi Tejas - fantastic article of Peter Kauffman talking about the multidisciplinary approach to thinking. I shared it with dad and this is what he replied - "Excellent. A very different way of putting across the age old ideas. These are the ideas that are everlasting as they are the very essence of human existence". We did have a long discussion on the article and he wanted me to re-read Bhagwat Geeta citing examples on incremental constant progress and not intermittent. There are number of people around me who are smarter and more hardworking than i am but i know if i can cultivate the constant progress approach, i will be ahead of most of them. This is very easy to say than follow and hence remains a biggest challenge of life which is full of instant gratification and quick success.
Hi Aditya, glad you liked the article. I also loved it for its simplicity and interconnectedness. I would love to read your notes from re-reading the Geeta; I would urge you to share them publicly. Lastly, all the best on the journey to get a little smarter everyday. Although I would say that rather than worrying about people around you being smarter, you should focus more on your future version being smarter than your present and past versions.
