>>19284805varg's writing helped me realize that doing one specialized task really well makes you further dependent on others who do their little specialized jobs. for example imagine the software coder who is good at that job, he makes the much desired six figures but maybe works many hours and doesn't have time to learn how to do much else. maybe he has one other hobby, some nerd shit that's also comp related or vidya. so that hyper-specialization helps him money-max, meaning he can just outsource all other needs. he buys cooked food, lives in an apt or buys house, doesn't need to know how to really do anything himself. if he has wife and kid they just let the school system educate their offspring. etc. etc.
more specialization = more outsourcing, more dependence. which is what "first world" societies do, until shit starts breaking down because there's too many people who want to go take vacations, stay in hotels, but not enough people who want to be cleaning ladies or line cooks. just look at the housing bubble, partly due to lack of new houses being built. not enough people qualified to build houses or want to work in that field.
if you were a jack of many trades you could:
own land, build your own house, hunt for your own food, etc.
there are youtubers who do just that and of course make extra $hekels from youtube which helps pay land taxes.
