That's a fantasy of resilience, not a case for resilience. You only get that kind of resilience when you have a political system capable of planning ahead on extended time scales, and which is explicitly committed to looking after its people more than than its leaders.
With a few debatable exceptions, that's not true of any country on Earth.
And it's certainly not true of the planet as a whole. Which is the level at which it would need to operate to deal with planetary challenges.
