Though we are driven by our desires and only guided by our judgement, so most people are too easily caught up in the heat and don't step back far enough to see the light.

As singular individuals amoung millions and billions, the only way to gain recognition is to become an expert at something, but there are reasons the people leading armies are called generals, while specialist is about one rank above private.

Unfortunately those children who would be likely generalists are the ones interested in everything, but rather than being given the time to explore and figure out how things do fit together, they are diagnosed as attention deficient and medicated until their minds fit back in the box.

Meanwhile those who do run things are the more orthodox to current convention, or inherit their social positions, so it's a Catch 22, as those with the power to change have the most attachment to the current system.
