Planets, Predictions, People and Parties
    #14433580 - 05/11/11 06:36 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Just read this article about some prediction a deceased Italian gave about the planets alignment causing a major earthquake in Rome today.

How do the Roman people respond? With fear and trembling? Fuck no! They plan giant parties all over the ancient city. "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we'll die."

This got me to thinking about how cultures respond in different ways to predictions of death or large scale cataclysms.

Many Americans live in a kind of sustained day to day fear of death and destruction. Most, if not all, of their fears are completely baseless and are the product of an overactive media projecting ideas onto a mentally "underdeveloped" society.

Why do some societies see baseless predictions as serious business while others see them as nothing more than a way to throw a giant party?

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell
