Being in the older generation, i consider this a luxury from staying on the hamster wheel and trying to pay your bills . I think it’s a great idea , if it’s short snippets or something that can be done around steady work. Teachers used to get sabbaticals and summers …..always a great idea . The thing i struggle with in flounders making sure it’s a constructive flounder and not a lazy flounder .
Agreed. The point of Flounder Mode is not to sit on a couch and veg out to Netflix all day.
The point is to be in motion, ideally with others who are also exploring the edges and non-traditional paths.
I think a lot of people stay on the hamster wheel too long without ever stepping off to explore the rest of the cage. I want people to go play around in those fun tubes with the other hamsters and see what they are up to. If that analogy makes sense lol.

I am a great admirer of Kevin Kelly But I hadn't come across the flounder idea. Thanks for enlightening me . I am going to go into flounder mode.
