What does ‘greedy’ mean in your ‘in short’? My definition of greedy is in the computational sense i.e. reaching for low hanging fruit first.
You also say ‘if (short term social improvements) become disempowered the continued improvement of society is likely to slow’, and ‘social changes that make it easier to continuously improve society will likely lead to continued social improvement’. This makes me believe that you are advocating for compounding social improvements which may cost more. Is this what you mean by greedy?

Also, have you heard of rolling wave planning?
