No disagreement. I'm sure nearly all of us have a diversity of interests
and talents, straddling the arts, humanities, sciences, engineering, and
other endeavours.
But in my experience, coming from a family chock-a-block with polymaths,
each of us has dominant perspectives through which we view the world.
My own foci are pattern recognition, problem solving, aesthetics, and
communication. It seems like most of the time I'm concentrating on one
or more of those four, to the exclusion of other considerations.
