“For some odd reason, I had an early and extreme multidisciplinary cast of mind. I couldn't stand reaching for a small idea in my own discipline when there was a big idea right over the fence in somebody else's discipline. So I just grabbed in all directions for the big ideas that would really work.” MindIdeasReasonBigsMy OwnDisciplineCastsExtremesOddReachingFenceBig IdeasSmall IdeasMultidisciplinary Author:Charlie Munger
“Given the ... multidisciplinary philosophy, I was surprised by the absence of alternative pain approaches - the whole spectrum of cranial-sacral massage, healing-touch therapy, and other hands-on skills that are a lifeline to many people with chronic pain. Alternative therapie are hard to evaluate, but that's no reason not to explore them.” PeopleHardReasonPhilosophyWholeHandsPainGivenHealingSkillsApproachAbsenceAlternativesTherapyInjuryNo ReasonSpectrumEvaluateMassageChronic PainLifelinesMultidisciplinary Book:Pain: The Fifth Vital Sign Source: Pain: The Fifth Vital Sign
“My fear is that that's what's going to happen with robotics and the military. Importantly, this discussion has to involve not just the scientists, but also the political scientists. It's got to be a multidisciplinary discussion.

“Making music has been connected to one of my greatest heartaches, because my own music has never quite connected with audiences.

“I believe in clear-cut positions. I think that the most arrogant position is this apparent, multidisciplinary modesty of "what I am saying now is not unconditional, it is just a hypothesis," and so on. It really is a most arrogant position. I think that the only way to be honest and expose yourself to criticism is to state clearly and dogmatically where you are. You must take the risk and have a position.” ThinkingWayBelieveStatesI BelieveClearCuttingRiskHonestPositionCommitmentCriticismI Believe InBeing HonestWhere You AreArrogantModestyHypothesisUnconditionalBoldnessMost ArrogantMultidisciplinary Author:Slavoj Žižek
“A multidisciplinary study group ... estimated that it would be 1980 before developments in artificial intelligence make it possible for machines alone to do much thinking or problem solving of military significance. That would leave, say, five years to develop man-computer symbiosis and 15 years to use it. The 15 may be 10 or 500, but those years should be intellectually the most creative and exciting in the history of mankind.” ThinkingMenShouldYearsMayUseProblemWould BeScienceHistoryCreativeStudyFiveGroupsMankindMilitaryDevelopmentComputerIntellectualMachinesExcitingFive YearsSignificanceArtificial IntelligenceArtificialProblem SolvingSymbiosisStudy GroupMultidisciplinary Book:In memoriam, J.C.R.
