An outpost for curious divergent thinkers who appreciate diversity, broad thinking, widely inspired ideas, and addressing issues globally.

FOUNDER'S NOTE

By their very nature generalists tend not to congregate. Our interests are so many and so varied that it's almost counter-intuitive to try to gather us around a common theme. But it is indeed possible.

This community's goal is simply to define what it is to be a creative generalist and build a directory of sorts for those who specialize in everything.

Generalists, you're not alone. And you really should meet each other. Welcome.

A new global economic order is taking…See More

Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial

Yesterday I did watch a documentary about urbanization. Besides the fact that by 2050 more than 50% of the world's population will live in cities, the most interesting part was that urbanization was considered from different perspectives.

Technology (Siemens) provided a very interesting view on the infrastructure and control systems, parts of which are currently piloted in Masdar City. Ikea is also very innovative in the sense…
