This is an excellent work of art, Nibir. I’ve learned a lot from you, and I appreciate you defining terms through examples rather than rote definitions.

I also appreciate the call-out! I’m honored to make it in your post. You’ve inspired me

Being a generalist is fun to me. There’s nothing wrong with having a niche. The world needs specialists. The problem is our tendency to box people in and reduce them to just one thing. That’s how we become narrow-minded.

This is a serious problem, actually better framed as challenge to society to overcome this phase of "I am educated unlike my parents".

No doubt the new generation has revolutionary ideas, most of it baseless.

Without a proper foundation nothing can be built and if we do it's only moment of time until everything comes crashing down.

We all need to realize about being a polymath and about how crucial autodidactism is in all our personal development.

I literally had this idea of starting a newsletter about this with a few people, but i had no clue whom to invite, guess you and fellow writers you know could join in?

interesting argument there, and I do agree that it's hard to find a job to accommodate such skill set. To potentially solve that "dilemma", one should have one or two skills in which the person is more proficient than others.

On a grand scheme of things though, generalism is long ahead. Being a specialist may be a result of tunnel vision
