I get the idea. I'm saying we're better served by improving our Earth baskets than trying to add a Mars one. Moving 1% of your net worth out of your home currency doesn't make any sense if 99% of your money is invested in a Ponzi scheme. You want to move some of it to a safer investment before worrying about outlandish economic collapse scenarios. Not all diversification is created equal. Not sure what you mean by extinction avoiding tools or why you think developing them on Mars will be easier than on Earth.

Different fundamental goal. Putting 1% in another market is an amazing way to increase the odds somebody survives. In terms of optimizing for "maximum likelihood of humanity's future existence" local improvement are marginal, versus colonization which essentially ORs the odds of survival together. The ideal is to have as many people as possible living sustainably in poverty in the asteroid belt as soon as possible.
