You teach a robot or a slave exactly what they need to learn to do a specific job, and then expect them to toil at that job all their waking hours. If you want you and your children to be treated like slaves or robots, that’s all they need.
If you know more than the minimum possible, you can do multiple jobs. You can choose the job that pays best or that gives you the most satisfaction. You can even change jobs if advancing technology makes your job go away.
Learn enough about art, music, and literature, and you can even have an intellectually pleasing life outside of work. Learn enough about history and politics, and you can avoid demagogues who think you only need to know the minimum needed to do a specific job.
