This blog looks to have ceased its most promising venture (the expansion of the Apocalyptic mind-map) due to certain minor inconveniencing factors.
Simply put, it didn't happen.
As much as I'd like to confess my slight disappointment, I am actually marginally more grateful that Humanity would live to, perhaps, die another day, or perhaps not at all! Perhaps we have a more tragic, Oedipus-esque downfall ahead of us, or perhaps we can transcend past the horrid, horrid threat of mutual destruction. Who knows?
This will be a short post; there is more to come later. Yet how better to end off than with a Quote of the Post! Here, a world that remains blissfully oblivious to its own undoing. Here, consider the words of Kierkegaard (Either-Or, 1843):
“It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was a jest and applauded. He repeated his warning. They shouted even louder.
So I think the world will come to an end amid the general applause from all the wits who believe that it is a joke.”
