Description
The first talk of EU19 Dynamic Earth (Thornhill's), @6:01, mentions the "crippling grip of specialism" and cites Jacques Barzun's description of science today as a "crabbed guild spirit" (from Science: The Glorious Entertainment , a book I'd heard of on 2012-02-24!):
The rampant specialism, an arbitrary and purely social evil, is not recognized for the crabbed guild spirit that it is, and few are bold enough to say that carving out a small domain and exhausting its soil affords as much chance for protected irresponsibility as for scientific thoroughness.
