Quote by Robert M. Pirsig

We have artists with no scientific knowledge and scientists with noartistic knowledge and both with no spiritual sense of gravity at all,and the result is not just bad, it is ghastly.

We have artists with no scientific knowledge and scientists

Summary

This quote highlights the detrimental consequences of the disconnect between different realms of knowledge and human experiences. The absence of scientific knowledge in some artists and artistic knowledge in some scientists create an imbalance that downsizes the depth and quality of their work. Moreover, the lack of a spiritual sense or appreciation for profound concepts diminishes the significance or impact of their creations. The result of such disconnect is not simply poor or mediocre, but rather dreadful and appalling.

By alienation is meant a mode of experience in which the person experiences himself as an alien. He has become, one might say, estranged from himself. He does not experience himself as the center of his world, as the creator of his own acts -- but his acts and their consequences have become his masters, whom he obeys, or whom he may even worship. The alienated person is out of touch with himself as he is out of touch with any other person. He, like the others, is experienced as things are experienced; with the senses and with common sense, but at the same time without being related to oneself and to the world outside positively.
