Normal people would greatly benefit if the research of whole disciplines was organized into beautiful, well-trimmed trees of knowledge.
Like 1/3 of the people doing research right now should instead be synthesizing existing research and organizing it.
Finding holes in it. Summarizing it. Making sense of it. Information without synthesis/organization is just freaking noise!
Also, there’s vast stores of astounding music that has been made, but it doesn’t do a person any good if they don’t know about it! We should give more prestige to people figuring how to curate music. A well made recommendation algorithm is worth 10,000 great songs.
We are lost and we need maps!
