There are people that even laugh at the ones learning about the spear because it takes more time and doesn't get you immediately more fish. Crazy, right?

Exactly! People aim for results in a very short period of time, whereas if you want to be successful you need to grind. You put 5 years learning about a spear and catch no fish in the five years, but when you have mastered the skill, you catch 1000s of fish in a single day. What most people do is that they learn how to catch fish, and they catch maybe 10 fish a day. That will still be less than the person who mastered the skill. The person who is a master of using the spear would catch the equivalent number of fish as a normal person catches in 5 years, in just 10 days.
