Folks have been convinced that we were "headed in that direction" ever since "Revelations" was written 2000 years ago.

Things are going to get better. We will get tired of all the crap, and react to it positively.

No thanks ... maybe some other time ...

Panic? nah that doesn't sound very conducive to survival if such things should come to happen.

how do our best-laid plans pan out when the $#!+ hits the fan and the balloon goes up and society goes down? how does one successfully plan for the end of the world as we know it? how does one go from advanced civilization to pre-technological anarchy in nothing flat?

Haven't you noticed that the s**t never quite hits the fan? It's always averted at the last minute.

Humans have too much of a survival instinct.

We also have a track record for destruction.

Out fates were sealed when the nuclear bomb became a thing. Human nature is sinful and selfish, it may happen tomorrow or it may happen 1000 years from now but it will happen.

[mixed metaphor warning] but what happens when on life's wheel of misfortune, the wheel just happens to stop on one of those two seconds?
