(i probably need a better title for the thing i am trying to point to)

  • from this comment by Eliezer Yudkowsky (for anywhere with a stream of rent/where gullible people exist):
    • heavy competition
    • barriers to keep out new entrants
  • considering things more narrowly on topics I care about (e.g. it's true that math itself is pretty popular and people do get paid to research it. it's just my kind of math that is completely unknown.) Whereas for something like mountain climbing or meditation, I am an outsider so everything blends together.
