no, our brains are overwhelmingly biased toward smallness (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 5) and the short-term (which is just a special case of the smallness bias)--a consequence of the evolutionary advantage of inferring potential danger from tiny sample sizes. once a phenomenon gets beyond our ability to relativistically comprehend, as in 10 or 30 years (i.e., thousands of days), our brains can't effectively differentiate the consequences and treat them as essentially equal.
