Abstract
In this article, I would like to argue that interdisciplinarity belongs to the very nature of
knowledges in their diverse manifestations and any disregard for this idea would mean
a distortion of knowledge while creating at the same time a situation that puts not only
individuals but humanity in general in danger. The role of myths, paradigms, the
position beyond-method, and the impact and interference of knowledges on each other,
that illustrate the point of a universally distributed intelligence, is used as arguments in
the development of this statement. The nature and scope of the danger is spelled out as
well. Ways and strategies are proposed that should be invented to avoid this danger for
the well-being of all human beings in their societies.
