Learning to think comprehensively can be a difficult process.
It requires that we rethink everything we know, and that can be very troubling.
We have to be willing to give up hard-won knowledge in a static predictable world and replace it with an ever-changing world filled with possibilities. We have to do a great deal of unlearning, because much of what we’ve been taught is just plain wrong. We have to learn to see big patterns and interconnections as well as specialized knowledge and parts.
I suppose that’s why it’s not that popular. It takes work, and we’re not so used to work these days.
It’s kind of an old-fashioned notion: nothing worth doing is easy.
I encourage you to do it anyway.
