[ (Ur on HN => ur top 1% of world on # of v v important metrics and intellectual gifts) + (Ur asking advice => u have instincts and ability) ] => high oppty cost of ur time. My_Op => prob huge neg val even thinking about this. Long Term: moral reasons aside, its simply highly unlikely to net add personal value. Short Term: payoff is blindingly quantifiable, but lots of hidden costs easy to overlook => not a good likely outcome situation. Ex 1: "not wasting energy with lawyers" is a luxury, both massively positive value and systematically + tragically under-valued by general people
