paul graham's "schlep blindness" is real obviously but even knowing that is not really new alpha ... people are blind to schleps because working on some awful process automation instead of optimistic high concept scifi bs is damaging to the soul
EMH goes much farther than just net profit
ppl are paid for their projects in terms of money, status, personal satisfaction, mission etc and pay a cost in time, boredom, dignity, capital investment and the markets are efficient with regards to that holistic cost-benefit analysis
most valuable thing my old PI taught me was a strat where you run through some mental models of if some research project has been tried before or not (does it require a rare collab / complicated engineering effort / etc) to see if its worth a shot
