tangible discipline.

I’ve always been interested in a wide variety of ideas, studies, and disciplines. The glory and frustration of the human condition is our ability to understand incredibly complex situations and concepts, yet, we are still incapable of reaching any kind of “academic transcendence.”

Every answer leads to more questions; it seems the more we learn, the less we know.

The troubling conclusion is that specializing in one particular subject only rabbit holes into dozens, if not thousands, of equally fascinating disciplines.

Until recently the idea of concentrating on one field seemed, if anything, boring. Until I stumbled upon business – like all fields it touches on all the others:

Philosophy, economics, psychology, strategy, management, leadership, operations, sociology, anthropology, communication, accounting, finance, production, and dozens of others; the subject matter is diverse.

Business is best used when practiced; I’ve heard researchers refer to entrepreneurs as ‘practitioners’ – why do anything other than practice I wonder? I’m convinced business is the most powerful platform in the world, I want my studies to be diverse, and tangible. 

What are your thoughts?
