Wouldn't it be better to have affordable delivery food? Cooks focus on the cooking, regular people won't have to spend so much time learning and doing cooking, and focus on their own work/play
A human is not an ant! We don’t have to specialize THAT hard! A person should be able to read, cook, clean, do laundry, hammer a nail, screw a screw, paint a picture, and write a poem, at the very least.
that list feels a bit outdated. What about write a simple program? Make basic 3d models and 3d prints? Some photography and video editing. Design a simple website. Even if you aren't a tiktoker, these are fairly essential skills in the modern world. And if we're throwing in poetry and painting, might as well throw in music, sports, sewing, gardening.
I'm not saying humans should specialize on a single skill. I just think people should be able to choose not to cook in favor of learning other skills. At a certain point, society should reach a point where somebody can say "I don't need a kitchen in my house, I'll just eat out all the time".
