Funnily enough the same logic applies to something I take a professional interest in. The same kind of optimal for me, sub-optimal for all applies to building the offshore electricity grid needed for offshore wind farms.
I'm pottering away at some short sci fi stories with an economic twist. But NaNoWrMO comes first.
I was a bit surprised at the outcome but then not surprised when I thought about in retrospect. It's kind of obvious that people will act in their own best interests and that their own best interests won't be served by a project that only pays off long after they are dead.
