Your post has a lot of questionable statements supported by zero references, which indicates that you did not do your research properly, if at all. These statements are loosely coupled, and it is not at all clear why they are put together in the same post. Well, it is clear, actually: they are all excerpts from your book. The book’s subtitle, “This, dude, is the most important book of your life” sounds like a failed sales pitch and does not inspire confidence in its content.
Your conclusion that “promoting a vision of future galactic super civilization with immortal people could motivate people now to fight global risks in all forms” does not follow from your rhetoric and seems more like wishful thinking.
May I suggest that, instead of reinventing the wheel and pushing your views here, you start by reading through the relevant Sequences?

Conclusion is probably true, though the Glorious Future already has many promoters.
You may want to reconsider the way you write.

I would like to see some experimental evidence. In my experience it tends to be dismissed as science fiction.
Clearly the view has some traction. It seems likely that proselytisation would help.
Whether it is an effective thing to do is a bit of a different question.
