Historically, disciplines have developed in silos. I'll give you an example. Folks in the manufacturing sector never thought they needed to talk with philosophers, mathematicians, or others. Now all the disciplines are coming together.
When we have programs that are discipline-based, or programs at the federal level that address one part of the bigger picture but not the other, for example, if we address the talent but not the infrastructure, or if we address the infrastructure but not the talent, there is no harmonization among the various levels of government and also other sectors. Industry has as a very important role to play. The private sector has an important role to play, as well as philanthropic organizations.
We all want the same thing. We all want society to benefit. We all want to be happier, healthier, and more resilient, and to have jobs, etc. I think working together is the only way.
I don't know if I have answered your question.
