RE: What's Better... Specialization or Generalization?
I agree that a blend of the two is best. I am too specialized as I am a musician. I feel being specialized is a double edge sword. Provided you are in the right career, you can command an income. However specialization can lead to dependence on others. it can destroy independence and create the need for larger community. Before globalization we were more generalized. Now we are a bit more specialized and globalized. Not that one has to do with the other but... Good article @krnel
Specialized and dependence, generalized and independent, yup good point. Specialization makes things more efficient in the larger social context where we cooperate. Imagine trying to do everything yourself. That's why factories in the industrial revolution boomed because they separated tasks into parts which made things go quicker and got more done ;)
