  You can do multi-goal optimization: try to become rich and powerful: it will increase your chances of personal survival but also you can direct your power on helping humanity.

  Probably futile attacks on the moneyed interests is my "doing something".

  Not that I'd advocate anything, but there are several orders of magnitude more normal people than moneyed interest people. There's a fix available. As for hedging - I'm fairly certain that, for people living affluent outside the tropics or high latitudes means that the effects that'll really get them are largely systemic. There's not much hedging to be done. (Sure, some areas will have slightly milder climate extremes, but food's still gonna be scarce. Pandemic and war will still be felt. Civil war is an option almost everywhere. Migration will still heavily impact local economies.) That's why I asked the counter-question - to highlight that this is really, if we want to or not, either a collective undertaking or certain misery. Isolation, or even anything but very basic hedging, is not really feasible for most people on this site.
