What seems to unite the many strands of discourse here is a strong, proactive feeling that the 20th century boundaries that used to qualitatively separate categories of behavior, politics, language, morality, class, etc., simply no longer work. They’re so outdated that we all kind of live our lives completely ignoring them.
The whole idea is the internet is completely evolving the ways in which we organize, as seemingly the differences in backgrounds we come across that traditionally have mattered in physical reality... lose their sway when it comes to the cyberworld.
We know that real breakthroughs come from original combinations, unexpected patterns and transplantable knowledge. We think multidisciplinary lives should be celebrated!
Strangely enough, there are a fair amount of pockets that exist on the web where people are driven to be as multidisciplinary as can be. Connecting/collaborating with individuals who share some niche interest, yet have an fundamentally different intellectual background. Readup I believe is one of these communities and it will be entirely interesting to see when these more meaningful, less competitive communities come to the forefront on the web.. Interintellect is another wonderful example.
Interintellect is a rather interesting concept.
