Something, SOMETHING about this is very Pluto-in-Aquarius. Like the energy of the first YC batch of founders (hopefully). Best of luck with realizing your vision.
Hey. Current medical student here. I deeply, deeply resonate with what you wrote here. Throughout medical school, I have had a sense of the knowledge I am learning having been robbed of its embodied juiciness/ essence. I have this vague sense of medicine/ the healing art as being something deep and archetypal within me, which has been bent out of shape and somewhat brutalized by the educational process. I may well not go on to residency, and even if I do, I will have to grapple with the issue of knowledge and healing as deeply disembodied. Thanks a lot for writing.
Hey River! I really enjoyed this. I just crossed the one year mark since I quit my job to take a sabbatical and frame it as paying for my own self-directed scholarship. Here's a reflection of the entire year: https://blog.mattyao.co/p/51-a-year-of-zero
