Ryan's/Primer's strategy seems similar to one of Balaji's Network State aphorisms: "Digital first, then physical later", not to be confused with "Digital first, physical never". The goal is to get a more integrated system - whether in company building or child building (aka education) - and in order to get that you need to look at the tangible life of the child (where does he/she physically direct their eyes to, how do they move about their world, how do they train themselves to pay attention) which without a doubt are physical questions.
The classical education movement is also emphasizing this more and more (note: one could argue that the classical education movement has always emphasized the need for in-person and human-to-human interaction, but one could also say that people like Ravi Scott Jain and Kevin Clark in their book The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education have done a good job of re-centering/re-founding the movement on things like physical training, music listening/performance, manual arts, etc.). I'm interested to see how this develops with Primer.
Great read. Have a look at Marble - they are building products to solves the youth mental health crisis.

Figure out public sectors that are going to be privatized and profit.
