I didn't say it was simple. I didn't say you needed to abandon mastery of a field of your choice. It is hard. But a soccer player should know how to make pasta, cook meat so that he doesn't get sick, even if he isn't a gourmet chef. He should be able to do physical activity without harming himself, etc. We should all be generalists to some degree. Where on that spectrum of specialization we should be satisfied is a valid debate. I also don't disagree that there are costs/inefficiencies generated by being more generalists vs more specialized. But it also depends on the size of the organization you can rely on. If I work at a startup, I may need to be more of a generalist. If I work at FAANG, I can specialize because I can depend more on the specializations of others.
