Quote:
Ovoidhunter said: Four horsemen of the apocalypse
And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him; and he went forth conquering and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see though hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with death and with the beasts of the earth."
Revelations 6:1-17
These verses and others have been applied to so many world events going back to the revelutionary war. Shit is the same thing as horoscopes. If god wanted to warn people of shit why make it so cryptic and abstract? Why does it have to be so easily misinterpreted?

Beats the hell outta me. I just think it sounds cool to say.
I've never really been religious or believed in "God" but I do believe in something. Has to be some sort of meaning to all this.

according to michio Kaku God is a mathematecian, I do actually admire its crypticness, Those verses are abused by the major leaders of the modern religous sectors, not being aware they're exposing themselves of their selfserving acts.
If one notice the 4th horseman is a combination of the first three interms of the things it delivers, A horseman by the name of death followed by hades, mirrors the Shepperds of Psalms 49:14(Esv).
That verse doesn't solely talk of natural Physical Death that brings a peaceful rest to a man. Rev14:13, Isa57:1(kjv), Eccle7:1.

Found this video from 2015 today on my recommended youtube feed. Guess no one takes these things seriously even when it comes from Gates.

Fear. FEAR. FEAR. FEAR. FEAR.
It's the awesomest emotion in the world right now.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Imagine reading a book and there's a book club in the book about the book you're reading and you wanna read the book but the book club won't stop book clubbing about the book. It sounds stupid just writing it. The characters in a story are intrinsically part of the author, that author intrinsically part of the story. Is the story then about the author, the story, or the characters? Would it really be existing if you did nothing but exist?

You don't see, hear, and feel the fear resonating in the world right now, bouncing around like in an echo chamber?
Did you put your mask over your eyes...?

No I see people talking about it and a lot of people complaining that anyone is willing to bother. One can prepare for danger and not panic or even expect it, just as one can discuss potential outcomes without succumbing to expectation. There are extremes on all sides but the majority sit in the middle.

The last time I checked, panic buying, clearing out store shelves, and being paranoid about touching anything is just a *touch* more than talking.
And there certainly seems to be a lot of people doing exactly those things.
I dun seen it with my eyes, cowboy.

If I take a knife in to the woods am I scared or prepared? Suddenly the problem is potential hospitalization or death by means of breathing, and having supplies to potentially deal with said problem is taboo. Funny you try to pull the "cowboy" thing on me like I'm coming at you hard, but you're the gun-boi between the two of us so you'd think you'd understand preparation vs fear. Some people have kids and elderly folks to take care of
