Hello Ibra,
  I do wonder about the lack of synthesis. Here in the U.S. I think that our universities ENCOURAGE a lack of synthesis. Not only are the academic subjects/majors confined within a prescribed path, but the schools/universities go so far as to have seperate buildings for separate fields of study. A student may never understand the potential to connect, say, a study in anthropology with a study in evolution. There are connections to be made, but they may never be recognized. How many syntheses may go undiscovered because of this? Do the corporate and academic heads not want us to be able to synthesize fields, to think across a spectrum, because they may point to problems and solutions which go against the grain of "normality?"

No, they want us thinking in black and white. Good guys vs. bad guys, us vs. them. This is just my speculative opinion, of course.

I hope you are getting by OK as well.
