Beware of Over-specialization and Embrace Generalism
Over-specialization can lead to extinction as seen in the example of birds with long beaks; similarly, human over-specialization can lead to their demise. Humans are meant to be generalists who use tools to adapt to different situations. Work is now decentralizing after centralizing, following a natural pattern. Computers are hyper-specialists, causing fears of job loss and layoffs. People lack fulfillment in their jobs, affecting motivation. With traditional paths like oil and real estate becoming resource-intensive, people focus on wealth generation for survival.
