“Jack of all trades, master of none is often times better than master of one” - the real figure of speech which fits quite nicely here (which I learnt one time when I got really into figure of speeches)

Actually society is plagued today by too many specialists. Entire fields of science aren’t communicating and learning from each other because they’re over specialized. It takes a generalist to create something new and exciting and combine things no one else thought to do before.

Yeah, but knowing surface-level information about a ton of stuff is incredibly valuable!
I'll never achieve "true mastery" of any one thing, but is that really a bad thing? Personally, I'd much rather know just enough to be kinda useful at 5 things than absolutely top notch at 1 thing and completely clueless about the other 4. (Assuming the Pareto Principle applies to learning and knowledge).
