Fully agree with 1) in a sense that the sciences and the humanities are all around us, in front of us, and it&#x27;s not &#x27;geek&#x27; impulse to try exploring both, it&#x27;s part of being a rational, fulfilled human being.<p>As for 2), that&#x27;s an interesting point. Perhaps it speaks to a level of maturity and mutual trust that we have not achieved yet. Maybe it manifests naturally as a result of progress with 1). It&#x27;d be interesting to read some lengthier discourse on this.. I feel it relates to government, market forces, social perception, culture and more..
