You can put it as a variant of the Pascal wager. If it is right, mankind may go through hellish conditions for decades and centuries, till extinction. If it is wrong we will have tl go through something like the lockdowns because the Covid pandemic.

We advanced a bit since astrology and reading tea leaves, we have better tools to make predictions, and they work well enough to base our current civilization on that, and, don't know, be afraid because taking a plane, entering a skyscraper, or taking a medicine. And those tools are the ones saying which alternative is the right one there.
