But there's no numbers on the scale! Like what even is 1 unit of difficulty on this chart? Is it 1 person year of effort? It seems to say that the difference in difficulty ratio between the 10th NFT market place and an undifferentiated CPG brand is the same as the difficulty ratio of the Cure for Aging vs a Mars colony.
If you're just hand waving and saying "Hard things over there, easy over there". Fine, but in this article we've now established we're not doing that, we're specifically working on a log scale where the Colony on Mars is equally difficult as the Apollo programme...?
Oh and obviously, since it's a log scale you can't have 0 - which means that somehow, so what does "Doing Nothing" appearing as having a non-zero value on the chart mean?
Log scale can be -1000, -100, -10, 0, 10, 100, 1000. No need to be pedantic. And “doing nothing” is bad because of the opportunity cost. But you’re right that it is at the wrong place on the chart because “doing nothing” can’t be worse than actively making the world a worse place.
