I’m not sure we got the same thing from this essay. Picking problems is one of the first things mentioned in this essay, and neither soccer-playing nor strawberry-picking seem like fields where there are lots of questions folks haven’t answered yet. (This is not to say that there aren’t interesting questions in agriculture or sports in general!) Picking a field that’s zero-sum, where there are already 100 workaholic geniuses pursuing the only possible positive outcomes (eg, champions league forward) seems like maybe not the right way to go, and the essay is pretty explicit about this.
