mostly i was thinking, even if you set personal financial benefits aside, it seems like compsci (maybe stats or math) is the field where individual skill is by far the highest-leverage on social global wellbeing. most other important fields filter skill through institutions more

i’m already way better than top 1% at math. there are so many other dimensions of skill you could consider. what about being top 1% at flirting? sex? raising children? conflict resolution?

well hm it depends on whether you mean top 1% among genpop or among experts, just realized that could go either way. among experts... hmm this is a complicated question for me to answer. depends a lot on what “experts” means, and also “better”
if “experts” means anyone who needs to use math professionally and “better” involves actually getting concrete practical results with math then i am probably pretty bad actually. my skills are mostly in knowing a lot of math and being good at learning more math
