Best of Week : Consilience

         The article, Consilience, was related to my TED video. Edward Wilson’s major point was that the arts and science are together, and that art comes from human nature. My TED presenter, Mae Jamison, also said combining art and science are important in our future. Many people think art and science are separated and they do not find the connection between them. I liked the quote from the article. “Neither science nor the arts can be complete without combining their separate strengths. Science needs the intuition and metaphorical poor of the arts and the arts need the fresh blood of science.” This means if we do not combine the idea of the arts and science, any kind of work will never be completed. The artist should able to use art in the other field, and the scientist also should be able to use science in the other field.
            After I watched TED video and read the article, I learned that the arts and science will process the creative mind. This idea made me think that even little objects that we see in everyday life came from the work of art and science. Any new technologies are work of combining art and science because the designers have to design and the scientists have to make that technology work.
            This idea gave me an idea of what I should be thinking of doing in the future. Since I am undecided for my major, I can apply this knowledge to find the best job that fits me. I will have more opportunities if I know how to use them in real life.
