Talent is fundamentally scarce

Scarcity is fundamentally mathematical probability.

When scarcity sits at 1/10,000, multiplying two 1/100 factors yields that same 1/10,000. Dropping either one leaves you at only 1/100—scarcity remains insufficient.

If skill A carries 1% scarcity and skill B carries 1% scarcity, combining both skills yields 0.01% scarcity—or 1 in 10,000.
