at one time mostly important and almost impossibly difficult. WTF universe?
Working on FAI is predicated on (and thus less important than) its subgoal of continuing to breathe. Yet (unless you’re currently drowning, terminally ill, etc) breathing is trivially easy, so we don’t even think of it as a goal. We’d expect all our important goals to be hard just due to that selection bias.

There are also goals that are moderately difficult instead of impossibly difficult, and they would not get glossed over by the selection bias.
