It makes the same kind of sense as still planning for a business-as-usual 10-20 year future. There are timelines where the business-as-usual allocation of resources helps, and allocating the resources differently often doesn’t help with the alternative timelines. If there’s extinction, how does not signing up for cryonics (or not going to college etc.) make it go better? There are some real tradeoffs here, but usually not very extreme ones.
