Ok. But you did say relative inefficiency. Relative to what? And still, I think many of your low hanging fruits were retrospective. I’m not sure that they were really obviously important and easy to obtain before, say, 1995.
One easy fix would be to just could about inviting some young possibly relevant philosophers for dinner and saying “do you see these 2 equally fun abstract problems? this one is more relevant because impacts the future of humanity!”
Ok, then the mistaken interpretation was my fault, you weren’t relevantly using the theoretical/applied dimension anywhere.
About decision theory. Perhaps utility maximizers were pulled towards game theory and thence economics and more narrow minded areas, while decision theory end up being maximized for oddness sometimes. That is, people who could attend to low hanging fruits were on areas where the background assumptions were unpopular,while people who could—perhaps—understand the background assumptions couldn’t care less for utility.
