Specialist versus generalist. This may be an unpopular or controversial opinion. So I believe that in the future, it will be more important to be a generalist. You basically have to be able to understand more fields, more information from more different sources, put it all together and kind of figure out what's going on and make a decision based on that. So being a specialist in a very narrow field over time is is not going to be as valuable as being the generalist who can collate everything and make sense of what's going on in the world around them more broadly.
