The author has learned to use some buzzwords correctly, but has no sense of what final cause and teleology are about.
What are you going on about now?
The odds of the LHC destroying the Earth are essentially ZERO and you are trying to spout your nonsensical GUESS about how much MONEY the planet is worth.

The point is that the value of Planet Earth is essentially infinite. Not only do you do not understand probabilities, you do not understand the nature of value or risk. Sorry.

In order to "get rid of it", we are indeed dependent on Hawking radiation. The whole astrophysical argument is that even if we can't get rid of mBH's through Hawking radiation, having millions of mBH's floating around within one's planet is harmless. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. . . .

Yeah, constantly chanting "YOU'RE WRONG YOU'RE WRONG YOU'RE WRONG YOU'RE WRONG" ad infinitum is pretty simplistic, I'll grant.
