@dr.starkid: I think we are entering a time where there is so much power and flexibility in being a generalist. This keeps you adaptable in uncertain times.
You have that backwards. Its modern use is as a pejorative. Historically it is “A Jack of All Trades is a master of none, but better at times than a master of one”. So the opposite of the modern negative connotation.

You live a richer life when you have multiple interests that intersect. It allows you to problem solve with a very unique perspective that “specialists” may not have. It’s a skill for sure!

That’s not a new add on. That’s the original that people began to omit. Same as “blood is thicker than water” but omitting “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”.

You articulated this perfectly! For years people have been telling me to pick a thing and they never understood me when I said I did! I make stuff and my interests share the same foundation CREATIVITY. I just make stuff all the time! And it makes me great at EVERYTHING! Because now I know how a lot of stuff works which makes learning new things super easy!
