- Learning across multiple fields provides an information advantage because it enables you to come up with new ideas and modes of thought
- Learning transfer: taking what you learn in one context and applying it to another
- Deconstruct knowledge into fundamental principles (underlying roots) - reconstruct them to create new solutions -- ask yourself: 'what does this remind me of? why does it remind me of this?' -- constantly make connections across different fields
“We are in an age that assumes that the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable… In the meantime, humanity has been deprived of comprehensive understanding. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individual’s leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others.Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which in turn leads to war.”
