The Playing Field by Graham Duncan is a reminder that we're all playing our own separate games. We should be designing a society that doesn't leave behind someone who accidentally got the wrong ball and is not well-wired for this particular system.

The Playing Field by Graham Duncan is BY FAR the best piece of writing I've read on the journey we must all make to reach mastery in our fields. While Graham writes about the journey to master the art of investing, everything in it is broadly generalizable.
In Graham’s view we must all progress from apprentice, to professional, to self-actualization, operating at scale with impact, and eventually (if we make it) mentoring the new generation. It’s a wonderful meditation on mastery — what it is, what it looks like, and most importantly the journey to get there.
