> "Attention is easy to convert into money in today's economy. Math skills, less so." This is an interesting point. I have no hard-facts based counter-argument to offer, so it might be true but I have my doubts. I believe that in the attention economy only the most popular of the popular are doing well and only a tiny fraction of them does extremely well. If you are good at math you can certainly have a good life without being in the top percentile. Also money is trivially convertible into attention, the other way around is hard work.
