Traditional education and hyperspecialization is a way to make people subservient to the dominant paradigm / system. Study the generalized principles of nature and be a deep generalist.
Daniel Schmachtenberger
It’s insane to think that you should know what you want to do with your life by age 18.
What you want to study.
What career you want to pursue.
How your life is going to end up.
Most of the time, it’s just like your parents.
A job. A spouse. A mortgage. A few vacations. A few nice dinners. Maybe a cat or dog. Maybe some kids?
Maybe not… you know… the economy and all that.
At least that’s what you’re supposed to do.
That’s what society wants for you.
But you’re different.
You have multiple interests.
Focusing on one thing is the bane of your existence.
You can’t help yourself. You want to explore all that life has to offer. You want to embrace the full range of the human experience.
But everywhere you turn, parents, teachers, and even friends shoot you down as you try to go your own way.
