It's weird to call it an ability of babies to perform well in a very contrived task, but perform worse in any real life object recognition.

It is the other way round. We adults have a great capability to identify similar real life objects in various lighting conditions. Hints like the reflections on the snail tell our brain about the lighting conditions and we automatically correct for it.

Is there any way to report people like him?

There are negative sum jobs as well. Pharma people, promoting harmful drugs, soldiers or criminals.

The author has a very interesting point. Still he oversimplifies and so I didn't find the article very insightful.

For example lawyers are there for good reason. Modern society needs a way to officially settle conflicts. But our law system creates arms races and draws more and more resources this way.

I think few jobs are as zero sum as SEO from their beginning. The problem is that when we start arms races and pour more and more resources into them, they become almost zero sum.

So the interesting question would be how to avoid arms races. But that is not even mentioned.
