Counterfactually saving one person
Scale the x-axis in current time of perils by (7.888bn-1)/7.888bn (the population of Earth according to Google). Calculation for counterfactual effect vs base case is then <perils-0 of this row>/<perils-0 of row 1>/5. The 1/5th is on the Givewell theory that 'save a life' means 'add 30 life years', and an estimate that our current time of perils will last about 150 years, so crediting the life saved with ~30/150 of the effect. Note that the current_perils parameters mess with the layout of later values in this row

Differentially advancing harmful technologies
Another way of imagining non-nuclear WWIII: scale harmful transitions 0.5x, and multiplanetary tranisition 0.75x. Then we multiply the difference from base estimate by the proportion of ToP we think will the counterfactual difference will persist for. A rough estimate for this proportion might be based on nuclear energy starting to generate serious returns around 1970, giving us a 30 year period (coincidentally, the same as we estimate a human lifespan), giving us a 1/5 multiplier
