In the humanities is that there is a high density of people who find meaning and value in their scholarship, independent of its impact on anything else. Also seems fairly common in the sciences, although I’m counting impact on other science as different from other impacts ($)

Interdisciplinary work is difficult on many levels, not the least of which is the psychological strain of constantly confronting how little you know.
