“The actual problem with European Education is that every career puts too much emphasis on remarking what makes it different from others. None of them wants to be related with other sciences: if you are a doctor, you can’t mix with informatics business, if you are a philosopher, you can’t colaborate with lawyers, and so on… each area has turn their backs on the rest, and now each science speaks different languages, what makes communication between them so difficult.
I personally think that this way of acting is sensless, as science, technology, and human knowledge exist as a whole to serve human beings. We will always have to grab more than one “category” on which general knowledge is nowadays subdivided to reach this purpose. It is pure fiction to think that you have a “medical problem”, or a “legal problem”, there is usually much more behind. Labels exist just because we humans can’t achieve a complete vision of all knowledge, we are not that smart, so each one of us must work on a part of it, to contribute then to mankind with his achievments, discoveries, and, which is more important, mistakes.”
