See, he needs someone with expertise someone who knows what he's doing.

But Starkwood... they had both. The technology and the expertise.

Expert

If we are to shift paradigms, if we are to make breakthroughs, if we are to destroy myths, we need to create an environment in which expert ideas are battling it out, in which we're bringing in new, diverse, discordant, heretical views into the discussion, fearlessly, in the knowledge that progress comes about, not only from the creation of ideas, but also from their destruction and also from the knowledge that, by surrounding ourselves by divergent, discordant, heretical views.

This kind of specialized knowledge has very little to do with daily life.

OK, but those are very specific, narrow tasks, and most knowledge workers are actually generalists.

The good news, again, is that a lot of the things they need we already have, and we are very good at giving economic assistance, not just money, but expertise, technology, knowhow, private investment, fair terms of trade, medicine, education, technical support for training for their police forces to become more effective, for their anti terror forces to become more efficient.

A warp field specialist? Exactly.

And I was saying, and I wrote, But we don't have the time, and we really don't have the immediate expertise at a technical level.

Aging brings some rather remarkable improvements increased knowledge, expertise and emotional aspects of life improve.

My fellow flacks and spin doctors.

In every field, knowledge has exploded, but it has brought complexity, it has brought specialization.
