The showcase is a great idea.<BR/><BR/>To quote you, "Generalists are very good at introducing strangers to one another." You've done a fine job at that.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845697772123574585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288543195027095111.post-11316981662801241372007-07-21T12:48:00.000-05:002007-07-21T12:48:00.000-05:00Thanks Erin.

I appreciate the feedback, especially when it's as eloquent and passionate as yours. <BR/><BR/>It's only been in the last year or so that I've injected any first-person commentary into my posts. I've generally been less comfortable relating any larger discovery or creative happening to my own experience. Partly because of privacy, I suppose, but more due to whole big nature of generalism. It's difficult, and probably even foolish, to assert a position of expertise on knowledge in general. Generalism is inherently broad and subjective, and lacking the ingrained commonalities specialists define for themselves. And so I often find myself torn between the passive curator role and that of advocate for an underrated yet nebulous group of indiscriminate learners.<BR/><BR/>The "eclectic curiosity interviews" was a way to introduce a variety of real stories of accomplishment and endeavour into the discussion. I've been very pleased with that series and it will continue to grow. But I'm also glad to see that you and other readers expect more from me too. So, thanks for the push.
