2. I think that the idea of the 'generalist' - has been devalued by the current social system due to a number of factors. The best commentary I've heard on it to date is in 'Operating manual for Spaceship Earth' by Fuller. I think there's a copy of it on The Buckminster Fuller Institute website (I'm referring to the part that starts with "Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors"... - The site's layout is unfortunately ass, so I can't give you a closer link. :( )
