i think the ideal university education is just a whirlwind tour of many fields so that you understand they all largely suck in the same ways and aren't listening to each other like, at all

i swear, you could solve public transit in the US if you just got:

• the software people who truly love the field
• to talk to the municipal politics people who are actually doing it for the love of the job
• to talk to the train planning people who are actually doing it for the love of the job and or hobby
• to talk to the physical security and penetration testing people
• to talk to the mining engineers
• so they can then plan and pull off a complicated heist to rob the treasury
