Specialization is dividing responsibility to multiply productivity.
Too little, and you get bands of self-sufficient foragers living in caves with 30 year lifespans.
Too much, and you get lonely billionaires who can't tie their shoes, cook a meal, or talk to a girl.
We've seen 100+ years of specialization's productivity benefits in North America, but I fear we haven't really dealt with the side effects of atomizing people and limiting their life's work to pressing buttons or staring at screens all day.
Curious to hear whether you think we should have more or less specialization, and under what circumstances specialization is more likely to be good or bad.
