Interdisciplinary Studies: They work, Bitches!

[wolven7]

I'm obviously continuing XKCD's "It Works, Bitches!" series:

Six Major Scientific Figures Talk. In which we learn a great deal about diversity of thought and concept application models.

You know what I mean when I say that. It's exactly what you think. Your goal is to take lessons that you learn in one area of life, and apply them to a different area. This is what people (in usually the Wrong Way) do when they try to apply the Art of War or The Prince to business situations. It's about taking a concept formation process and using the shapes of ideas to help you understand the content of your field more clearly.

Watch the videos. Seth Lloyd's a great guy.

Word.

I went to school at Miami University's Western College for Interdisciplinary Studies.

Well done. This is one reason, I think, why you consciously get the concept re-application thing.
