Looks like everything a human does can fall into one or the other sort of fallacy. I sometimes think we should have a fallacy named merely for being around: "the breathing fallacy" (the mother of all fallacies)
Would an "existence fallacy" predate this?
You could say that what separates the einsteins from the idiots is a willingness to obsess over worthwhile projects.
And maybe the ability to locate worthwhile projects too, I suppose. That would be an important first step.
Better to embrace your own unique and [hopefully beautiful] nature full heatedly than obsess over someone else's ideas or what someone else did.
