You probably should clarify that post somewhat. In particular, existential risk is not the same thing as catastrophic risk. Crudely, an existential risk is the risk that you (and/or other people as well) die, that is, cease to exist. A catastrophic risk is just the risk of something really bad.
There is also the difference between mitigating the catastrophic risk (e.g. don’t live near an active volcano) and mitigating the consequences of a catastrophe (e.g. have a bug-out kit ready).

Of course there is also this, this, and more...
Thank you for your answer. I will probably delete my post, though. People do not seem to like stuff that actually makes a difference around here.
