I read your article.

Worrying about extinction events that occur on the hundreds of thousands of years apart is wildly irrational, given that we face an immediate existential threat on the order of decades.

It is exactly like worrying about cutting down on your smoking when you are trapped in a burning building.

We have to survive the next 100 years if we are to have any substantial chance at all of supervolcanoes or asteroids being a threat to our well-being.

Only once we have avoided immediate devastation in the next few decades should we turn our attempt to problems that might be emerging in the course of millennia or even eons.
