I don’t think so? Or kinda? I mean I often say this in relation to my single main project (reprogenetics), referring to many different actions I could take (make open letter, update website, more research on many things, connecting with many people, various articles to write, etc etc). These days I’m always just guessing at what next action is reasonably close to some frontier of important, ripe, easy given what I’ve been thinking about, urgent, etc.
There’s some time-dependence and other-people-dependence that makes “diminishing/ increasing returns” seem not quite right? Like, for example, there’s some rate at which I’d want to put ideas to the LW community, which is neither as fast as I can write, nor 0.
