Haha what a load of shit. Generalists are useful on a day-to-day basis, while specialists advance civilization. They’re both useful in their own way, cause I can’t do anything with a rocket scientist if I wanna change my spark plugs and my man has no idea how cars work, but to claim one is better and the other is garbage? You think humanity is ever inventing the telephone if it’s only your average ass around? Fuck outta here.
IDK man, even your rocket scientist probably has hobbies and other shit besides rocket science that they like doing but are kinda bad to good at, which leads to a lot more fulfilling of a life than only being really really good at rocket science. Which is the whole point of the comic.
Bell was initially strong in science and music theory. The reason he was able to actually end up with the first practical telephone, was that he then also learned electronics. You really need both to develop a ttelephone.
Bell then did a lot of public shows to promote the telephone. It was certainly usefull that Bell worked as a teacher earlier.
That is actually extremely common for big leaps forward. A lot of those just combine knowledge from different domains in a new way.
