You are kidding about the Dalai Lama. Of course he cleans up behind himself - he doesn't enjoy golden chopsticks - he is just an ordinary monk that appears extraordinary in a world based on hate and ignorance.
I challenge you to begin a religious career for all to view and participate in - that you can remember for 14 + lifetimes, and protect the reminants of a race almost erased from the face of a planet by their neighbors. If you really care how those men and women live - ask them.

Do both. Jack of all trades, master of one.
The doctor doesn't have to do the work on his SUV but better understand it well enough that he can make intelligent decisions about the appropriateness and quality of the work being done by others. I see far too many specialists who are hopelessly helpless in anything other than their speciality. They approach insecthood.

Please see my earlier release. Between "surgical MD" and "SUV" is the pronoun "his." Is this a genderist, racialist, or merely a philogical locution?
Over the past several years I've been involved in a number of familial medical narratives. I do not invent this data. I merely observe and report. Which means I am measuring by anecdotal, phenomenoligical perception -- the so-xalled "I"-test of significance.
With that enormous qualification I shall state: There is presently in the United States a predominance of males in medical surgical areas. [Not particularly true in other medical specialties.]
My convictions [rather than any knowledge of relevant research] tell me this is a social phenomenon.
Are there others who know of evidence that points in another direction?

Do I agree? Yes, without hesitation.
However, without genetic permutation, human economy has evolved to the point at which many individual entities survive and thrive when they specialize.
No need for a surgical MD to know how to tune his SUV. No need for a CEO to design and fertilize a family estate, let alone be a kitchen artist.
Would these folks be better human beings if they did all Heinlein sasys they should? That's another question. As it stands, they are perfect human insects.

Heinlein is a hero to many people who endorse self-reliance and individualism. That's what the quotation is about. The ability to "stand on one's own." Specialization goes hand-in-hand with socialization. After all, if we are specialized, then other people, with other specializations, are required. If I say that I agree with Heinlein, I'm saying that I agree that the individual SHOULD (morally) have the skills needed to live in isolation. This is part of a broader agenda where it is given that people SHOULD be solitary animals and not pack animals, since societies (packs) always generate authoritarian hierarchies, which are inherently evil. I don't agree with that idea, but I can sympathize with the thinking that created it. http://www.nerdmovement.org
