So if we assume that the person is in such a niche, and has the ability to exploit it, then the question would be to quantify how evil is the enemy. Israel’s favorite enemy these days is Iran, so it seems that I should learn more about Iran and give my best predictions regarding it’s future. One thing that immediatly comes to mind is that there are many similarities between Saudi-Arabia and Iran, while Israel seems to have a good relationship with Saudi-Arabia, so on what grounds should I believe that Iran is evil?
A large part of why the code breakers produced so much value was that there was an open war and ending open wars is high utility. Given that there’s no open war between Israel and Iran it’s unlikely that you would get similar gains even if you think Iran is evil (whatever a country being evil is supposed to mean).
