Totally agree with this—feels like we’re still using 20th-century tools to navigate 21st-century complexity. The whole "jagged frontier" idea really resonates; it’s wild how many discoveries probably exist in silos, just waiting for someone to connect the dots. The knowledge arbitrage analogy is spot on too—if we had a way to match undervalued insights in one field with unmet needs in another, we'd unlock so much latent progress. AI might not be the perfect co-scientist yet, but even just helping us notice the right connections is already a game-changer. Feels like we're entering a golden age of interdisciplinary "idea trading."
