How does research into longevity and health provide added value when most people should just walk a few hundred yards more every day?

That's an odd place to stop your relative privation, why not go even further, and include homelessness and world hunger? There are lots of problems in security, the distribution of effort feels about right to me - thousands working on phishing and malware, and a dozen in P0.

I'm not taking it personally, I'm answering your question. What do you feel the correct distribution of effort is, literally everybody should be working on the worst problems facing mankind?

So you agree it is appropriate to expend some effort on solving some of the problems facing mankind *other* than phishing? Clearly some very unpleasant people are using 0day exploits to commit horrible crimes, how many people should work on that?

I think this is a different than your relative privation argument, i.e. you said "explain how P0 adds value". You now agree P0 adds value, but argue working on phishing has more impact than working on exploitation. I can answer this too. 1/n

You (deliberately?) misunderstood the point, and then try to steer the discussion into disclosure debate ("feeding hungry people doesn’t arm others" ??). Did you really want a good faith discussion and explanation of why we think working on making 0day harder is valuable?
