I didn't say that. I said no one who has studied the issue thinks the world is going to end. The Mayans never thought so, either. The rumor popped up thanks to a combination between Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus fanboys, schizophrenic christians obsessed with the book of daniel and revelation, and Terrence McKenna's weird experiment thingy with the I-Ching. It's nothing more than a misconception propagated by the same doomsayers that have been looking for an excuse to call for the end of the world for the last twenty centuries. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I agree with that. I was just making the point that there are people all over the place who think the world is going to end in two days. |

I made a thread about this in the "Inner-Sanctum" forum. |

I'm going to become enlightened, just you wait and see. I'll purify the waterways of Africa, free the oppressed in Asia, teach kids to read in Mississippi. |

People are mostly using it for the jokes. I know some people who claim they know people who seriously believe the world is going to end. I um... am glad that I have only indirectly heard of these people. |

The fuck do you even put in an apocalypse survival kit? Locust repellent? |

One theory is that it will be the next step in human evolution. Not that I believe it though. |

I think I'm going to sleep in reeeeaaally late. |

Well, it's the big day now. Here it is. I don't see shit happening. Maybe I should go outside? |

Okay, 9:00 p.m. I have also heard 11:11 a.m. I am not sure what time zone(s) they were referring to. When it is no longer 12/21 anywhere in the world, it will be time to really laugh. |

11:11 UTC is the exact time of winter solstice. That's when the computer program we are part of ends and that's the end of the world. I guess it's 3am US pacific time. |

Winter starts at 6:12 AM EST. Some schmuck on the radio said this apocalypse shindig starts at 6:11 AM EST. See you all at 6:13. |

The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. - Frédéric Bastiat
I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and I think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves. - Christopher Hitchens
