On a related note, I wonder what an optimal portfolio of anti-existential risk programs would look like… although I suspect “holdings” of anti-nuclear programs per se would be on the lower side, if present.
At any rate, you might be interested in knowing that anti-violence is part of the (pro-liberty rather than existential risk) “portfolio” of the Thiel Foundation, although Imitatio has always been the one organization mentioned there that has consistently had me scratching my head as to what it means and why it matters (it is, I confess, also something I’ve not spent a lot of time on). There is also an academic field of peace studies which seems to address quite a few of your bullet points.

Agreed that it’s not obvious, and what’s more, it would almost certainly be different than what one would expect to be reflected in the tag cloud of LW posts about what an optimal portfolio of anti-existential risk programs would look like.
E.g. global warming is an important issue, but it’s not important for LW to dilute its content by being the millionth website to feature content on it.
