Mark Rober frames obsessive, dopamine-driven builders like MrBeast and Elon Musk as scouts in an army — not the rank-and-file. You don't want an entire army of scouts because most will die climbing the treacherous cliff, but you only need a few to find the next valley with fruit. The rest of the tribe then benefits from the hacked-down path. Rober explicitly says he doesn't want to be a scout, and that's the point.
