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

“happy” is a return model, I’m claiming you won’t get good enough at piano to get happy in a week. This is a proposition about the nature of learning curves, not mortality as such.

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).
