Interdisciplinary Education Requires Foundational Depth, Not Just Breadth

Imagine building with LEGOs.

You can't build a super cool castle by just having a few bricks of every color.

First, you need to really learn how to build something strong and stable with one type of brick, like knowing all the ways the red bricks connect.

That's like becoming an expert in one subject, like math or history.

Once you're really good at that, you can use that knowledge to help you connect and build with other types of bricks, like science and art.

This helps you solve big problems because you understand things deeply.

Just having a little bit of everything can make your building wobbly and not very strong.

So, it's better to be really good at one thing first, and then explore others.
