there's a reason why people dedicate their lives to become experts at specific things. And that reason is — in large part — so we don't have to learn and do EVERYTHING ourselves.
I wrote a piece a while back (not on here) on the _why's _ behind the reasons we became 'top dog' on this planet , and one of the largest contributing factors was precisely because we were so UNspecialized. (any animal in comparison ourselves, is better than us a specific tasks - stronger, faster, even more cooperative.)
That would mean (following this logic), that as we become more specialized, we become weaker as a species...
How many people can grow their own food nowadays ?...- or going one step further - even have the nouse to put themselves in a position where they can grow it, if needed.
How many people, 2000 years ago, would put themselves in that position?... or not have that knowledge?
I would posit that virtually everyone knew how to feed themselves...
..and here endeth my 'meta narrative perspective', of the way things might be headed (if Darwins theories have any credence).....
