Whether agree with premise or not, how would you act on this belief?

’Diversify’ seems like a no-brainer but in this scenario i dont think its obvious usd, stocks or crypto wont go to zero, and my mind goes to physical resources like land? Especially scarce land like a nyc penthouse?

(In this scenario im assuming there wont be a full-scale war, everyones dead etc, which is a different and imo less interesting puzzle.)

I think it’s probably fairly sophisticated, but probably something around VIX (although arguably it itself is too volatile, I think it only is like a 7 day average or something), and maybe a lot of very out of the money calls and puts?
