The *Official* apocalypse discussion thread

#1432044 - 04/05/03 06:31 PM (21 years, 9 months ago)

All right, there's been a lot of discussions about the apocalypse all over the place these days, including the shroomery, so I thought I'd get a thread going where we could consolidate all these discussions and maybe have a thread with a little more order to it.

So, by the apocalypse I mean a whole lotta things. People have come out of the wordwork from everywhere with their own end of the world scenario. There are the alien crackpots, the bible revelations nuts, the third world war lunatics, the timewave zero/mayan new-age fruits, and not only are there more but there are those who combine all the prophecies together.. the uber-freaks. Let's have every post start with the poster's personal view of the aftermath of the Iraq war to about 2012 or however long need be. I choose these events because I think most believers in the apocalypse consider the war on Iraq to be the beginning of the end, or at least a sign of the end.

I'll start with my own view of the next 10 years. I think that although the date 2012 is pretty interesting, nothing is for sure. I read a book series that started with the title Spiritwalker by Hank Wesselman and in it he goes to a possible future where our civilization has collapsed and the survivors have become hunter-gatherers. I believe that theory less these days, but I acknowledge its possibility.

A friend of the family from LA who owns a summer cabin close to me here in BC is part of a spiritual group (cult?) who has an interesting leader/teacher. My friend is convinced that he can psychometrize (know the happenings in the "life" of an object) and says about the future that the USA will split into three different factions by 2014, although he acknowledges this isn't a certainty. Interesting.

I see that Iraq could lead to a much larger war in the coming years, but I'm still entertaining the idea that Iraq could settle some things down. The thing that just started making me feel paranoid is that the Iraqi government is still so cocky when seemingly the coalition has them choked almost completely to death. They've run a mission into Baghdad already. It seems like the end should be near and the regime should start bluffing like "We have nukes and we're ready to destroy Israel!" but they aren't. They're just sitting around getting their armies whooped and pretending to win. Maybe they're just completely nuts, or maybe they're planning something big.

I don't know, what are your guys personal opinions, and what experiences/knowledge do you have to back up your own view of the coming years?
