Question

[Ruey <tmi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why is it that in earlier times science and art could coexist 
comfortably and today so many artists seem scared to death of learning 
any science and so many engineer-scientists find no value in art or 
desire to create it? I wonder if this modern extensive degree of 
specialization and complete distrust of the other or their knowledge, 
hasn't a great deal to with our inability to solve the problems we face 
in the world today? What could an instructor do to bridge that gap?
