Buckminster Fuller:
All universities have been progressively organized for ever finer specialization. Society assumes that specialization is natural, inevitable, and desirable. Yet in observing a little child, we find it is interested in everything and spontaneously apprehends, comprehends, and co-ordinates an ever expending inventory of experiences.
The most important part about tomorrow is not the technology or the automation, but that man is going to come into entirely new relationships with his fellow men. He will retain much more in his everyday life of what we term the naivete and idealism of the child. I think the way to see what tomorrow is going to look like is just to look at our children

Children are our future yes, but if life sucks today then why worry about kids? I think we should just kill all of the children and worry about today.

what a bunch of bullshit, though I do agree that specialization is for ants.
The capitalist ideal is to be versed enough to tell the specialists what to do.
