The Price of Specialization in Conscious Attention
The price which we pay for specialization in conscious attention is ignorance of everything outside its field. I would rather say ignorance than ignorance, because if you concentrate on a figure, you tend to ignore the background. You take separate things and events seriously, imagining that these really do exist. They have the same kind of existence as an individual's interpretation of roshack blood - they're what you make out of it.
