“My favourite Heinlein quote of all time:

“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.”
- Lazarus Long, in Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein

It describes my worldview to a tee.”

As it does for me.

Well, when you get to butchering that next hog, carve me off some nice chops!
