Specialization is anti-human. > “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” > ― Robert A. Heinlein East:: [[Compulsory-government-monopoly-mass-schooling serves as a social engineering project to produce manageable, dependent, and incomplete individuals unfit for self-governance or a rich inner life, for factories and corporations]] > This was once a land where every sane person knew how to build a shelter, grow food, and entertain one another. Now we have been rendered permanent children. It’s the architects of forced schooling who are responsible for that. > -- [[Dumbing Us Down]] > I am not an artist, an entrepreneur, a filmmaker, or a software engineer, these are all just fucking words, they are limitations, I'm terrified of internalizing them, I am anything that I need to be, I am whatever I am designed to be, I am naturally moving from one day to the next, I am a human being. > -- [[We Are All Architects Now]]
