As opposed to a distributed fuckup that has >95% probability of failure.

Yes, correct :)

It's unclear what high probabliity, distributed fuckup you're talking about. Climate change? In that case I'm entirely with you but that's a result of the same short-termism I mentioned.

I am horribly certain we've painted ourselves into a corner.
