Why Multidisciplinary Thinking Matters (and How to Do It Without Getting Lost)
Multidisciplinary work is valuable when anchored in a question—not when it is a collection of interests.
Multidisciplinary identity is increasingly common. The risk is dilution—knowing a little about many things without producing depth.
Anchor your learning in a stable question. A clear question allows you to borrow from multiple disciplines without losing coherence.
Build a “core stack” and a “frontier.” Your core stack is what you can do reliably; your frontier is what you explore next. Progress becomes trackable when mastery and exploration are separated.
Depth and breadth can coexist when breadth serves a question and depth serves rigor.
