There could be a global pandemic of a mutant flu strain a month from now, too, but I don't worry about that, either. Or a glitch in the system that leads to a nuclear ICBM exchange. I don't worry about stuff that has probabilities best measured in large negative exponents, no matter what the stakes. Especially when waiting a century will open up new options, and any large-scale effort today is more usefully directed elsewhere.
