Quote of the Day

Of course, specialization is necessary today. But so is the integration of specialized understanding to make a coherent whole, as we discussed earlier. It is essential, therefore, that society assigns a higher value than heretofore to integrative studies, necessarily crude, that try to encompass at once all the important features of a comprehensive situation, along with their interactions, by a kind of rough modeling or simulation.  ― Murray Gell-Mann, 1994
