Its a bit like Ayn Rand philosophy (and flawed, atleast i feel so)...but probably with little more empathy for the rest of the world, one can also try to do contribute to solve 'actual' problems. True that if you are for example academia you need to really focus to survive in your field but somewhere down the line this need for focus somehow becomes an excuse not to do anything else, however important these other things may be in bigger picture. hopefully i (and many others) will be more open-eyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
