Subject: Exploring the World of Deep Generalists with Me

Hello, fellow enthusiasts!

I'm diving into an exciting project focused on bringing the concept of being a "Deep Generalist" to life for young minds. My aim is to make this approach to learning and living not only comprehensible but also captivating for kids. This is where your expertise and zeal could make a huge difference:

• Deep Generalists: Think of them as explorers of knowledge, not just experts in one area but adventurers across many. They're like treasure hunters, finding gems in every field they touch.
  
  

I'm inviting you to join me in this enlightening journey. Your insights, critiques, and ideas are crucial in crafting explanations that ignite curiosity and inspire. Here's a glimpse of how I'm introducing this concept to children:

"Imagine if you could be a scientist, an artist, and a storyteller all at once. That's what being a Deep Generalist is like – you're always learning new things and connecting them in amazing ways!"

Let's work together to show young people that embracing a wide array of interests can lead to a rich, interconnected understanding of the world.

My personal goal is to make the path to becoming a deep generalist and an autodidact as accessible as possible, just as it has been for me.

Contributors who help shape this project will be acknowledged in my upcoming booklet series.

Warm regards,

-Adrian
