Try to be. WOuld be even more so if work didn't get in the way of work.

Of course, I'm of the opinion that our common someone was already hot on the trail of precisely what I'm talking about. I'm also wondering now, with your comments, if what happens is that, if we apply the spiral dynamics model, that we get an environment ripe for emergence into a new level of complexity of thinking precisely when the new metaphors become columbaria.

In all great ideas, we as a people will always miss the mark. Being fully Interdisciplinary is an impossible goal, but so is being exactly Christ like. The beauty is in the trying to reach the ideal.

The problem with multidi-sciplinarity is that there is no ideal to seek. Multisciplinaries just want to know things for there own sake. Interdisciplaries are trying to knit knowledge together to create a quilt of knowledge we can all use.
