Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We observe this with varying levels of functionality with individuals.
Rick Rosner: Once we suss this out, there will be mechanism, or clear mechanisms, by which people will think in familiar patterns or are jostled into thinking in unfamiliar ways.
Jacobsen: We can put these in common terms. Organisms evolved in particular habitats. Therefore, the organism to do or try to do is to attain a particular habitat suited for itself. For a simplified example, an artist should not be in a Symplectic geometry class. An mathematician should not be in the sculpting class.
Rosner: Yea – but there is a generalist class with a species that it’s a generalist class. There should be a species – a generalist species should be successful.
