They also fuck up *much, much* more when they're incentivized to *look like* they're trying to do something rather than incentivized to actually do the thing, and it's not always clear to anyone involved which of the two is happening or that there is a distinction at all

I often struggle to explain that:
1. Generally, the range of things you could possibly do that are worse than nothing is larger than the range of things that are better
AND
2. Trying most things is cheap & when trying in earnest, humans are good filterers of possibility space

Broadly speaking, humans are prone to get into serious trouble when they attempt massive-scale things straight out of the gate, but they also don't try to do nearly *enough* things

If it's not clear why this is, consider this:
Is it easier to solve a very hard problem, or...
...to accidentally/subtly introduce or neglect obstacles that you can later use as evidence that it wasn't your fault that the problem didn't get solved? twitter.com/webdevmason/st…
