Ok, this sounds quite a bit less authoritarian than I was picturing, and I basically did expect that you were planning to require this to be essentially everyone’s first priority, maybe tied with paid employment at best, but even then requiring that paid employment take specific forms not conflicting with the experiment. (I had definitely framed it this way in my head when I was asking my other question in this thread.) I don’t know if I’m the only one.
This is part of why I’m glad the conversation is unfolding as it is—probably not a lot of people will read literally every comment, but for anyone who’s confused, we have a clear record of where I was wrong and changed my mind, or where I was unclear and people raised confusions.
I think DA should be third or fourth, with obvious things that might come ahead of it being work, family, pre-existing strong friendships, romance, and lifelong core passions.
