What he's essentially saying is that no-one but him should be trusted, no matter how well qualified and experienced they are in their specialist fields.

In fact, he seems to be against any kind of specialisation.  Does he plumb and wire his own houses, and build his own fridges and TVs out of components and materials he has himself manufactured/mined/processed/etc?

I'd expect a more mature world view from a seven-year-old child.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
