What did we ever do before we knew too much?
I guess we will now have to wait till next week to discover that the world is coming to an end - Again. Does anyone besides me see a pattern her. End of world predicted. News (any news) framed as bad. I have been around religious folks enough to know that keeping peoples attention and forecasting doom gets you at the podium and sells books and gets you a following.
Observing that things are going about as they should and things aren’t as bad as everyone says gets you disdain and a smirk from the doom and gloomers. Certainly sells nothing.
Peddlers of Doom, go away. You haven’t been right yet. I don’t believe in you any more.
