Subject: Question
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?

Ah, people think their lives complicated. It's their nature. Due to the dozens of open channels we have the illusion of being vital part of the daily process or even vital part of other peoples' lives. The illusion whispers to us as if we could refine the processes everywhere and change what we dislike. It's the region where the hidden conflict between our imagination and dilettanteism lives it's dirty little life But we should gain more control of our own activities for the most of the time. After a while You don't care any more and simply do Your own thing, to be proud of later.
Or something similar...
