30 February, 0171: An omnipresent dilemma is that of quality vs quantity. What is amazing is the fact that this dilemma manifests itself in multiple forms in our daily lives. When we are thirsty of Knowledge, it is usually in the form of depth vs the breadth of knowledge. I mean, we can learn about the simplest explanations of Special Theory of Relativity in about an hour, however, to learn it in-depth it can last an entire chunk of our undergraduate degree. That time, had we been the admirers of breadth rather than depth, I am talking about knowledge by the way, could have been used to learn a thousand topics we always wished we would learn.

So, to summarise, it’s all about whether we wanna be the master of one subject or a, not jack, but definitely not master, maybe an informed individual in several subjects. Such dilemma, in which we fail to calculate the opportunity cost of choosing one over the other, leads us to future disappointments, namely, I wish I was more knowledgeable on that single topic, instead of stuffing my head up with all these minor things, or maybe, I wish I knew about a little about a plethora of things rather than being all centered about that one single topic.

But, we have a new destination, as the article heading suggests. We have Tyler Durden on one hand and we have our unquenchable thirst of knowledge on the other. And being the sort of person, we probably are, we smash them together, in an impulsive moment of  enlightenment and we end up with a thirst of knowledge in total abandonment!

We realise, that most of the knowledge we stuff into our head, will perish with our body when we die. We realise that should we not share knowledge and only learn, the whole purpose of learning would be unserved. And with these thoughts seated deeply in our mind, we take action. Action of sharing what we know.

There is a new blog in town. A Deep Ark. Here, I will share anything I learn about, in my own words. I am primarily fascinated by five core sciences. Economic Sciences, Medical Sciences, Mathematics (which is a language!), Computer sciences and Physical Sciences. These are the topics which would primarily fill the columns of that blog, although there might be guest appearances from philosophy, music, etc.

Deep Ark is actually a YouTube channel, yet to be polished into existence. But, A Deep Ark is live. It is my humble request for everybody to please follow that WordPress blog. I will be posting multiple times a week.

Everybody is welcome to like and share the articles of A Deep Ark, use the comment section judiciously for complaints or compliments and soon, there will be a guest section, so that even the viewers can share their area of expertise, in their own words.
