Every forward looking business strategy decision is a bet.

Everything in life in a way could be thought of as a bet. It's all a probabilities game. When you travel, you are betting your airplane doesn't crash, you don't get robbed, kidnapped etc.
People that think that way often don't worry as much about hurting other people.
Can you share sources for that claim?
Particularly attractive/cheap bets along these lines are often massively short vega
