The Lost Art of Thinking for Yourself

虽然点进去是一个书的广告，不过这几句话可能已经概括了这本书的精髓，挺好的观点，值得反思

高等教育越来越强调专业化，但本文作者-趋势分析师Vikram Mansharamani认为培养通才的知识和技能可以帮助维护我们的自主权和自决权。

曼沙拉马尼本人是无可挑剔的全面发展的。他是作家、投资者和教授，曾在哈佛和耶鲁任教。他担心，在影响我们生活和工作的难以理解的复杂问题上，我们已经变得过于依赖社会阶层中的专家为我们提供指导。

Our systems of higher education and employment have increasingly evolved towards valuing a deeply focused specialization of knowledge and ability. But trend analyst Vikram Mansharamani argues that cultivating the knowledge and skills of a generalist can help preserve our autonomy and self-determination.

Mansharamani is, himself, impeccably well-rounded. He’s an author, investor, and professor, who has taught at Harvard and Yale. And he worries that we have become too reliant on a social caste（社会地位） of experts to provide us guidance on impenetrably（无法通过地；顽固地） complex topics that affect our lives and work.

Later in the show, we talk with Jeff Wald, author of the “The End of Jobs”, about the future of work.
