This actually clarifies for me what my role in life is intended to be: I want to be a human interface. I’ve always been an extreme generalist, unwilling or unable to specialize in any particular field of study, but enjoying all of them. This produces a certain amount of angst—the modern world does not really have a place for people who do not specialize in anything. But if I think of my specialty as being an interface for all those different fields to talk to one another (which I guess forces me into some kind of management role—and also explains my love of both UX design and systems theory), then that actually could work. I’m not sure how to actually reach the point of being able to do that, though.
