There is so much ridiculousness! A human being should be able to design a building and write a sonnet? Seriously?
(Not to mention culturally bound - and again, not "an American living on a farm in a rural area," but a human being. How about "A human being should be able to write a ghazal, make a vid, spear a lion, and draw a doujinshi?" That would make just as much sense.
I'll give him "cooperate, act alone," but then it would be so general as to be banal, self-evident, and forgettable, unlike the rather memorable list it is.
