I hate that quote. It starts fine, but then reaches a stupid conclusion. I wonder how much worse our life would have been without centuries of specialization: in science, in education, in business...
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI still find value within in. Sorry! Specialization is important for society collectively, diversity is important for the individual. Balance is key. I don't want to die gallantly though, just satisfied with whatever I've accomplished and left behind.
- rjtavares 13y agoI can certainly agree with that. "Specialization is for insects" is needlessly insulting, though...
- toomuchtodo 13y agoBut true. How many jobs will you have during your lifetime? Will you only use one skill throughout all of them, or even just one? Specialization isn't just for insects. Its for robotics and software. Anything that can't learn and evolve.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoIsn't it a quote from a character in a storey? It may have been intended to be gruff or insulting, depending.
