The sad thing is, the perpetual hikers & party-goers often aren't even enjoying it that much, but are conforming to lifestyle-consumerist indoctrination about what constitutes a 'healthy', 'fulfilled' life.

This is, perhaps ironically, short-sighted. You take care of planets, and AI safety issues, nuclear disagreements, and what have you, so that you can go on dates, watch subsets and go on hikes. If you neglect the things that give most people meaning, the former lose importance
-
I'm intrigued by the idea of watching subsets

What makes you think that going on hikes and dates is distracting us from civilisational collapse? For some of us, that is everything we are fighting for. I cannot throw myself into the fray like a robot again and again with no renewal.

I used to rage hard - clubbing, barcrawls, wilding at festivals, bible study - the usual bread-and-circus. However my well-being has much improved since I ditched the hedonistic lifestyle; now on Saturday nights I just tend Mercury, making sure it doesn't retrograde and all.

Yeah, that's called living life. We can't be worried about the same problem 24 hours a day because we will fall apart mentally or give ourselves hemorrhoids.

And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.

But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead. - a Feynman quote your comment reminded me of

You like to think you're a forager, and you want to make the world more forager-like, but you're really a farmer at heart.

I look at neurotics making up stories about things like AI risk and think, don't these people know there are effective treatments for anxiety?

You wrote a novel length Harry Potter fanfic. It's my favorite fanfic ever, but you did sit down and write it.
