Well? Are you an insect, /lit/?

Didn't Heinlein specialize in writing? He never invented a longer-lasting lightbulb or whatever.

t. hack that wouldn't have known how to make the typewriter he wrote this trite platitude with, nor the ink he used to write it, nor the paper it was written on.

This quote will generate a lot of butthurt from highly specialized autists and holders of useless degrees.

>>24787794
Yet he is remembered and those bug people aren’t.

>>24787749 (OP)
This is retarded. A single pencil could not be manufactured without specialization

>>24787848
Well to be fair his own personal philosophy seemed to out-jew Ayn Rand in terms of market fundamentalist fellatio. Plus his views on women are highly irrelevant nowadays. I'm far from a communist but he's a relic of a bygone era of unrestrained McCarthyism. At least some of his books are entertaining.

We're reflections of our society. It's hard to be a generalist when every job requires a specialized degree and additional certifications on top of that.

>>24787749 (OP)
Can he do all of that?

ITT doomscrolling incel shut-ins who couldn't change the tyre to the car they can't drive to see the girlfriend they don't have. Keep watching your vtubers

>>24787749 (OP)
He isn’t saying that he can do these things, he is describing his ideal human, a goal to strive towards.

>>24788681
Of course not, that's the fundamental truth of blowhard braggards like Heinlein, they cannot back up their wild claims.

Yes.

because narcissism and posturing sells, always will

A gooner should be able to goon to scat, snuff, pissplay, bodysuit, ntr, mind control, furry, beast, sissy hypno, bdsm, random social media profiles, giantess, vore, rape, gay, tranny, vanilla, creepshot, looking out his window, my little pony, animal mating, insect mating, BMWF, WMBF, looking at themselves in the mirror, bloodplay. Specialization is for insects.

>>24787848
This quote will be jerked off by pseudointellectual midwits who, ironically enough, lack a vast enough knowledge of not human intellectual endeavours but also of human neurobiology and human societal organization to appreciate why specialization is not only necessary but desirable.

>>24788953
>but also of human neurobiology and human societal organization to appreciate why specialization is not only necessary but desirable.
>specialists said specialization is essential so it must be so

>>24787848
They are very mad that ChatGPT has replaced them.

Even Terrence Tao got his shit pushed in by AI. The age of "specialists" is over.

Not the kind that happens in an industrial context.

>>24787749 (OP)
If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation... It's simple: overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

He invented the waterbed.

holders of *money providing* degrees, humanities retard

>>24789033
NTA but specialistion is ingrained in us. How many people are good at everything? We all have our own talents and it is often productive for society to hone in on that talent. A warrior will specialise in fighting and a farmer in farming. Why should they be expected to a jack of all trades and a master of none? Where is the overall benefit to the world if they are good enough at fighting and farming respectively?

This guy's corpse was eventually eaten by insects.

>>24787749 (OP)
Heinlein couldn't do half of that shit, which makes him a bug and he also believed you shouldn't listen to bugs. So according to Heinlein's retarded beliefs , you shouldn't listen to him

>>24787749 (OP)
Can billionaires do all these things?

>>24787749 (OP)
It's a beautiful ideal, but an industrial society can't function that way.
A few things should be taught to everyone sure.
Everyone should be able to analyze problems, cook and balance their accounts.
But that's because those are things they actually have to do in their lives. Most of that is not.

>>24787749 (OP)
I think specialization has generated most of the technological advancements that we have today. Without hyperfixated autists we wouldn't have the internet, or the global industrial food market, or smartphones, which is exactly why Mr Heinlein is correct here.

>>24787749 (OP)
can i just like not do any of that? sounds like a lot of work to be quiet honest with you my family member

>>24787749 (OP)
I agree with the sentiment, but it's expressed in such a plebbish manner that I removed him from my to-read list.
