"What is a Weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.” [Ralph Waldo Emerson]
We prefer the known vs. the unknown as it makes us feel safe!
Like the thin blanket which seeks to create an imaginary cave against the looming werewolves of the night.. :-)
In order to know the unknown we need to set aside fear for discovery.
Learning being a continuous process being a permanent learner requires learning by trial-and-error. The main method of inquiry being this exploration.
We can always take the help of the known from "different" fields. For what is unknown in one "field" is common knowledge or practise in another.
As you learn different things from different fields their "intersection" is what will yield hybrid/remixed ideas, techniques and inventions. In fact far from being an "intersection" it will expose the artificial boundaries erected on Nature by the concept of a field. It will reveal the underlying "Bandhuta" (bonds) beneath the apparent differences of a limited mind.
Ideas of mankind are a Commons like the Earth "divided" into plots by real-estate of Man. These boundaries are as confining and illusory and as those cave-blankets of the night.
The difference between ideas and real-estate is that you can't share land as easily as ideas.
