Are you familiar with David Epstein’s work? He wrote the book Range talking about the importance of generalists, or people who pursue an illiquid path. He also writes a Substack called Range Widely. Basically, he argues that people who dabble in several career fields and who can then synthesize all their accumulated knowledge and skills into highly valuable and innovative careers are often superior to specialists. He doesn’t frame his argument in market terms like you do, but your argument here seems to support what he is saying. Is my assumption accurate?

Nice. Seems to be a productive angle to look at things
Thank you!
