Here's the Score:

The Scoop, the Skinny, the Low-down.

Okay, here's how it is: You have to understand things, don't you? You have to learn to pull things into your paradigm, and use them as well as you possibly can. That's how we learn anything, deal with life, grow as people or a society, or whatever the fuck. But you have to be able to pull it in, and process it, to do this.

Within your feield of expertise, your scope of learning, you have the capacity to understand any number of things. Mathematics can teach us about the world of nature, and biology has something to say to quantum mechanics. In every field we have some kind of connection to the other areas of life and understanding. There is a degree of cross-compatibility, is what I'm saying, here. Do you see where this is heading? If so, hope to it. Otherwise, keep reading.

You should be able to take the lessons you have learned in your field and extrapolate them to other areas. With an increasingly fuller understanding of you area(s), you should be able to adapt the functions of other fields in your own. Learn all of the things it can do, and you will find an understanding of everything, within it.

You know why. It's merely a logical extrapolation. If you refuse to see it, then perhaps you shoulde ask yourseslf why.

Good evening.

This is why I love ecology so much. It's not so much a science in itself, but the glue between the other sciences. It focuses on how all of our areas of knowledge interact to form the "Big Picture". At first, I didn't understand why I needed to study geography, organic chemistry, calculus, anatomy, philosophy, weather, disease, economics, cell structure, geology, history, astronomy.... But now that I've fulfilled enough prerequisites that I'm taking actual ecology courses, I'm understanding why I needed that foundation. It's coming together in the most mind-boggling ways--and I've only just begun to scratch the surface.

I'm fully convinced that the only way you can really start to understand a particular area of knowledge is if you understand every other area in addition. How can you truly know what a loaf of bread is until you understand the chemistry of yeast, the physics of ovens, or the psychology of hunger and innovation?

Precisely. And it's not always feasible to understand a thing Fully, but you can make the attempt to understand as much as you can. And that understanding seems to be missing, from a lot of people's pictures.

coz all of us in the first place children of Faust(freaks of power process )
any scientific problem now is assumed its solution
principal of causality seems to us as something necessary
this principal has a different outcome in different disciplines,
but it is all the same
"Facts" of ancient studding of nature are things
"Facts" of modern science are relations between the things
to understand these relations one have to go through tough power process
