The topic at hand was non-existential threats, so my comment was oriented toward that.
But, I think my comment stands with regard to existential threats, as well, but at scale (so, education and social movements are key).
Resilience and coping skills to better deal with the compromises and hardships required, be it refraining from things we enjoy because it fights climate change or dealing with violence from the state to make our voices heard.
Introspection to strengthen our beliefs, ethics, behaviors, and understanding of the world and different viewpoints.
Ingenuity to come up with solutions to these existential risks.
These are all vitally important at scale.
Stronger people brings smarter choices and less vulnerability to external influences (especially the malicious kinds).
