In lieu of the obviously better solution of proactively preventing apocalypse, to what degree of seriousness do you instead suggest we acknowledge the "post-apocalyptic" premise? What else than becoming a prepper would you do?

Unless these are likely factors for you, you can safely ignore any apocalyptic ideas. These ideas are mostly held alive by people who want to be important and relevant. People with too many guns at home want them and their guns to be important, and readily imagine an apocalypse fitting that dream. People with old computers and old programming skills likewise dream of being important, and start things like CollapseOS. People who live in the countryside and have horses imagine themselves to be cowboys in a car-less world. It’s all based on what kind of apocalypse would make a person important and respected again, not on any real sense of what kind of disaster would actually be statistically likely. I mean, you could be worried about political changes, and act accordingly. You could be worried about the surveillance state to grow steadily, and prepare for that. And various state agencies are always telling people to be prepared for hurricanes, flodding, and other extreme weather events, depending on your region. These would, I believe, be reasonable precautions to take.
