If you discover that you are a genius at the piano on the same day you discover that you have a week to live, should you spend the week learning to play? No because even a natural genius can’t get a good return in a week. Feels like this reasoning pattern could be generalized

Perhaps a simple acceleration of learning can synthesis the above discrepancy. ie the return on acceleration of learning is much more rewarding, compared to prequel to learning (~=0) or post peak learning (-ve).

If given a mortality curve probabilistically, perhaps it’s still worth learning after peak mortality, ie there is a chance (learning) of chance (surviving enough) to get premium mediocre at something. But if survival now become a deadline, there maybe no premium to our mediocre.
