Worrying on the large scale might help accelerate scientific study.

I mean, half the reason that seismology gets the funding it does is for the hope of earthquake warnings in the future.... and making our tidal wave warnings today more accurate. We have scientists combing the sky every night, mapping out asteroids because some politician got a hair up his butt about the big one hitting us at some point in the future. We've prognosticated the pathway of the moon for millions of years into the future just to make sure it'd never ram into us (and, consequently discovered it's moving away from us a few cm a year).

So, whil worrying on the large scale can help - personally, I'd have to agree with you... no sense in the average individual dreading it - if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

Carpe Diem.
