In a similar vein, "Designing Your Life" by Prof. Burnett and Prof. Evans talks about "prototyping" different careers. The fundamental idea is the same - try different careers before going down that path - but I really appreciate the contemporary take of this article. I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the book if you've read it!

love this reframe! one idea I'll throw in there is enabling folks to invest in emerging talent (similar to small/micro cap stocks) and allow that person to take big bets through experimentation. call it the modern stock market

Great article! Re your last point about an academy of experimentation- have you heard of Recurse Center? https://www.recurse.com/ Feels very aligned with what you're trying to get at
