The politicalization of existential risk is not something to be happy with. Existential risk has higher stakes (the highest stakes arguably), we need to be more careful about failures of rationality, not happy that it has infected this as well.
Not quite dichotomy. I’m thinking in terms of an evolution of a painful topic in the noosphere. Some kind of ‘five stages of grief’ - denial, anger, bargaining, etc :)

‘Politicalization’ seems to be an unavoidable stage. And it’s much better than total unconcern.
False dichotomy?
