In the beginning, yes, of course, it's who we are.  Man could, would do everything.  He could do many things, applying himself with some focus to all the odd jobs required for survival.  With his own hands, more or less, he could feed himself, catch, gather, cook, find shelter, health, friendship, all the things we do today.

He could clean, keep a yard, tame the natural world around him enough to use it, to make a roof out of nature's offerings, walls, keep a garden, figure how to make fire, figure out how to talk to other people, figure out how to do many things.  An excellent observer, a learner, a quick study.  Learning from mistakes.

Ah, yes, then came the industrial age.  Then came the corporate age, the computer software age, the holocene, the anthropocene...

Well, what do you do?  You cook what you find healthy, you clean, you have a job...  Exercise.  A glimmer of the human being you once were, as you were self-sufficient, either alone, or in a small tribe.  The original diet works for you, the modern adaptations do not.  The talents come from the original abilities.

And one is best put to use, not in a law office, not an accounting office, but in something more physical and direct a job, somewhere to be a jack of all trades, a talent at all.  The restaurants were good for that.  Jacques Pépin would be a classic example, chef, also a scholar, a woodworker, a gardener, a sportsman, an incredibly broad range of abilities to do things.

The only unfortunate thing would be that only the economically advantaged, having worked at the modern jobs dictated by present forces, those who would be the professional would then have more an opportunity to do the things that would then offer a sense of that original homestead.

The original being would be too much a migrant, a person of many abilities, talents, a broad range, a natural being...  He would end up sitting by the pool, visiting the mansion, a guest, but he would always go back to the simple life, the tangible livelihood, the life of cooking, gathering, cleaning, finding the habits of good health, of enjoying nature, distance, trees, birds, sky, wildlife, nighttime, the blank page, the stone...

Wine a thing to help you get some work done.  To see clearly, to find the strength to do work.
