Overall coming back to this I’m realizing that I don’t actually have any way to act on this piece. even though I am in the intended audience, and I have been making a specific effort in my life to treat money as cheap and plentiful, I am not seeing:
Advice on which subjects are likely to pay dividends, or why
Advice on how to recover larger amounts of time or effort by spending money more efficiently
Discussion of when those tradeoffs would be useful
This seems especially silly not to have given, for example, Zvi’s Covid posts, which are a pretty clear modern day example of the Louis XV smallpox problem.
Sounds like you want roughly the sequence Inadequate Equilibria.
