I find it funny that you speak about nuclear energy yet you validate it based on a quote from an exceptional game designer. This isn’t a knock on Carmack but more like you should probably hunt for someone in discipline, there are many.
- whimsicalism 2y agogeneralists are underrated nowadays it seems, compared to most of scientific history where they very clearly exist and can make contributions across a ton of “disciplines”
- xattt 2y agoGeneralists and specialists veering out of their lane come across the same until there is an incorrect statement about a field you know.
- graemep 2y agoInformed generalists might also be a useful perspective to a field, or bring in relevant knowledge not well known within the field.
- whimsicalism 2y agoThere are any number of cases of “specialists” having arrived at some incorrect consensus due to social factors/groupthink and a failure of the process.
- edem 2y agoCarmack is not a game designer (never was in fact). Carmack is a God. Also, jist because what you think he is doesn't mean that he is not right.
- navjack27 2y agoHe made a rocket company. I would think as a generalist he knows a thing or two about energy production at least for thrust and propulsion if not more. I don't think he would even call himself a game designer. He's a programmer and engine builder and rocket scientist and overall deep general nerd.
- nnnnnnnnnnnnn 2y agoare there some experts on the subject whose writing you would recommend, by any chance? :)
- Managor 2y agoI feel like this is a variance of "The worst person you know just made a great point". Who cares where it came from if it's true?
