But those are poor models of most things humans want to learn.” “When we know the rules and answers, and they don’t change over time-chess, golf, playing classical music ( kind world)-an argument can be made for savant-like hyper-specialized practice from day one.The problem is that we often expect the hyper-specialist, because of their expertise in a narrow area, to magically be able to extend their skill to wicked problems. Facing kind problems, narrow specialization can be remarkably efficient. “ Facing uncertain environments and wicked problems, breadth of experience is invaluable.Wicked problems (better for generalists): Uncertain environments, ill-defined challenges, few rules, rapidly changing, etc. Kind problems (better for specialists): Certain environments, specific challenges, rigid rules, unchanging, etc. The world has kind problems & wicked problems.
