The argument from hope or towards hope or anything but despair and grit is misplaced when dealing with risks of this magnitude.
Don't trust God (or semi-competent world leaders) to make everything magically turn out all right. The temptation to do so is either a rationalization of wanting to do nothing, or based on a profoundly miscalibrated optimism for how the world works.

I agree. Of course the article you linked to ultimately attempts to argue for trusting semi-competent world leaders.
It alludes to such an argument and sympathizes with it. Note I also "made the argument" that civilization should be dismantled.
Personally I favor the FAI solution, but I tried to make the post solution-agnostic and mostly demonstrate where those arguments are coming from, rather than argue any particular one. I could have made that clearer, I guess.
Thanks for the feedback.
