I don’t really understand your objection here—it seems that a few recent posts have been putting more focus on solving everyday problems than is the usual OB standard.
And your post doesn’t seem to bring much new either in terms of solutions or new directions to explore. “We talk about the importance of being rational, but don’t determine what’s necessary to do to become so.” is especially vague,
I don’t think that this community is especially biased away from “ordinary things” and in favor of “flashy” things—we might have a slight bias in that direction but not much more than other humans (the tendancy to think in the “outside the box” box), and not in a way that can be easily and systematically countered.
