Yeah, actually. This is projection but:
People are naturally curious. Shuffling them into the confines of some narrow and often purposeless maze fucks that up. That's a considerable portion of TFA, the institutional curricula stunted their interest in biology.
My curiosity was drugs, drugs lead me to biology, lead me to chemistry, physics - but it was independent study. Political challenges from my partner got me interested in history and anthropology, but it was all independently structured.
I think if the institution gave all these little knobheads enough autonomy to actually derive, from themselves, some real interest, they would ultimately end up intersecting with all the sciences, it's actually inevitable. Instead they're just forcefed a bunch of information they don't have a relationship with.
Sports is biology and mechanics is molecular biology and kinesiology and so on. It doesn't matter where you start, you track into that shit. Passion the latitude it lends to the people possessed by it is what allows us to push deeper and deeper. Not stunting intellectual growth by conditioning people into a state of repulsion at the premise of learning.
