Specialization is for insects

I saw this quote today and could not help but chuckle. Probably because I have a deep loathing for specialization...
“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.”
Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
