``But one article of faith I'm having a hard time killing is that if _we_ go anywhere (including across some abstract singularity as well as to Mars), we'll _all_ have to go, or at least some kernel of us with a chance of growing into a robust ecosystem.''
That "we" entered into the discussion is arbitrary (Steve started with that, I think), and further the statement is tautological. For example, I'm quite confident I don't need the Trump or ISIS people in my life at all. I am not a willing symbiant. If there were other ways to live / other forms to take / other planets or non-terrestrial locations to inhabit, and life were longer than it is, I would certain consider them.
