    Also generations.

    Old folk like me have lived through several end of the world predictions … I really don’t care any more.

    But new young generations haven’t so they are more likely to believe them … like I did the first few times it happened.

    (and if you’re wondering when I first believed those predictions, they were mostly before my tenth birthday when several predictions said either Jesus was coming back or nuclear war was about to happen … all things I believed because adults said so)

    … a funny thought experiment is to think that the world did end 20, 30 or 40 years ago and this is all the afterlife … we just don’t know it.
