shouldnt lifting heavy things be done using back muscles? Like in deadlifting
As for the muscles involved, a deadlift isn’t just back or legs or core, it’s all of those. Your Glutes and hamstrings are the “prime movers” that perform the actual movement, while you back and “core” musculature are bracing and stabilizing, allowing the movement to be translated into Bar movement.

I mean, I sort of agree, but the real world doesn't reward people like that. Society is all about conforming and those of us that don't fit the mold are held in high regards by a small number of friends but not rewarded by society. Those who highly specialize are the winners. I'm a jack of all trades and new people I meet tend to be surprised by the various activities that I can perform. Yet I'm a near useless, under…
Heinlein was a bit odd in that many of his writings, especially his lesser-read short novels, were written about these idealistic characters, living in idealistic environments that were full of equality, self-empowerment, and ignoring societal norms... yet at the same time, was often led by a man who could do everything, had everything, and everyone served him.

People aren't expected to be self sufficient, rather they are expected to buy things and hire people, or otherwise participate in the consumerist economy.
Learning a foreign languge
How to make small talk!
To that end getting really comfortable with the big 5, then branching off to HEXACO if you like it.
Once you've got that down move on to Non Violent Communication.
These can help to form the basis of genius level soft skills, getting what you want from and for other people with less friction, and in the end faster.

do you have a good starting source?
I would maybe start with the individual components. How a differential works: https://youtu.be/yYAw79386WI There are a number of videos of transparent engines: https://youtu.be/nvMcFQqhbpM But if that doesn’t work, searching YouTube for “how an engine works” should give lots of content. Once you’ve figured out how the engine turns the flywheel, you can investigate how the flywheel applies different speeds to the whee…
