Why worry about something that you have no control over? We do not posses the technology to start or even stop a caldera volcano event.

Kind of like our sun going supernova or red giant. Nothing I can do about it and if it happens in my life time ... I am dead. Worrying about it will only shorten my lifespan.

Ultimately it is called “risk acceptance”. There are only three possibilities with risk. You can take actions to mitigate a risk (wearing a helmet while ridding a bike), you can transfer risk (medical insurance should you fall of the bicycle) and anything not mitigated or transferred is automatically accepted (bicycle getting a flat tire)

Correct. We are all dead in the long run. Why worry about dying unless you aren’t Saved?

I'm not so sure. A terrorist event or attack from another country capable of delivering a nuclear warhead into the caldera would not set it off. Just speculating...
