I think a question I have for ultra-high-functioning people is - if you really search your heart, and you really corroborate it with everyone you’ve known - how different are you? How special? Unique? I mean like, *really*. It’s a heavy question. Why isn’t everyone on your level?

I think people heavily overestimate uniqueness and heavily underestimate plausible potential impact, not least because of how many of the default options will lead to severely compromising on impact.

I've spent non-trivial effort on being basically impossible to substitute for in the market, and I think I am basically impossible to substitute for in the market for a variety of jobs, but I think ~10% of my high school could have accomplished approximately what I have.

Too few organizations are searching for the answer to "What's the best plausible, repeatable pathway you can have to maximizing the lifetime output of someone who is undifferentiated but bright given, say, 3 years to do nothing other than maximize for output."

And the organizations who have the easiest freaking layup towards being the answer to that have the gameplan: "OK, so we're going to prepare that person for an office job, badly. We won't help them find that job. Also, we think copious amounts of alcohol should be involved."
