Gap between median and outlier payoffs for some activities has a huge range Making $: making a living vs making billions Operating vehicles: riding a bike vs piloting a spacecraft Others, range is small. Eating: diff between median meal vs best meal possible is small (for me)

There was some academic article on the structure of elite performance that I can't find now, focusing on swimming improvements as you go up levels. Something about how when you level up the training mode qualitatively changes.

Observation capabilities. Median person is naked eye or binoculars vs. even small telescope. Astounding difference in payoff, a large chunk of it due to Saturn's rings. Of course, not everybody appreciates it. Most of my near family owes Saturn ring views to me. Most are "meh."

I feel like making a distinction between payoffs you can spend (like money, fame, power) that you must spend in some way over an extended period of time vs. those that you can only enjoy (like being in space or playing an instrument).
