What if doomsday signs of the end of the world are real?

The worst of the Covid viral pandemic is over? Maybe, or just one mutation away from wiping us all out... Covid is just the latest milestone in a long string of events which have been interpreted by many to be the definitive signs of the end of the world. So far, we are still here, much to the disappointment of many.

It is our human nature to be born, live and then die. Why not our planet as well? Didn't we all learn this lesson about the circle of life from the Lion King? Walt Disney wouldn't lie to us, would he? Now, we have more information than ever, so much so that surfing the apocalypse network can be a full-time occupation for those doomsday believers looking for "signs".

They are out there, from the number junkies (remember how the year 2000 was going to be so terrible? just like 1000 was in the dark ages) to the telescope terrorists scaring the pants off us with sightings of meteors, comets, faces on Mars and planetary alignments of a very suspicious nature. Yes, the signs are everywhere if you care to look.

The latest doomsday anniversary is the Great Depression decade of the 1930's. We are rapidly approaching the 100 year anniversary in 2030. October, 2029 would be the anniversary of the great stock market crash of October, 1929. We are already facing inflation, recession and greed as the great new world religion.

So, like the boy who called "wolf" once too often, are we now numb to the alarm bells around us? Could we really be seeing signs of the end of the world and be ignoring them out of Armageddon fatigue?

Not to cry "wolf" or anything alarming, but there are some significant signs out there RIGHT NOW that may be confirming the imminent arrival of doomsday. Oh, there are so many but let's stick to the top ten, shall we? No need to go nuts about this, after all. And before we get to the list, remember there is really no need to get in a panic. Even the entire collapse of the universe (admittedly a big catastrophe) would still only kill you once.

So, the Top Ten Signs of the End of the World:

1. Global Warming: - We are setting records for hottest, coldest, wettest and driest days all around the world. Destructive weather threatens every corner of the world.
2. Popular culture feeds of our collective subconscious - Hollywood, every year, releases disaster and horror movies with many of them topping the box office when they open, signaling that people want to be entertained with scenes of world destruction. Social and mainstream media feed our greatest fears on a daily basis, encouraging us all to live in dread and anxiety about an errant click on an email link or an escalation of a regional war into global conflict.
3. The Calendars are rhyming - As mentioned before, we are approaching the century mark for a dark few decades in our history, when the Great Depression fed into the Second World War. History never repeats, but it does rhyme, to quote Mark Twain.
4. Nostradamus is always right - Who can resist a good prediction guru? Although the future is not known, it doesn't prevent a host of people who try and predict what will happen, most of it bad.
5. Nuclear bombs are everywhere - Dr. Strangelove is alive and well and scouting deep mines suitable for shelters for the most prominent men and fertile women of our generation.
6. The Next Great Depression - What is life without money? Isn't that the true definition of the end of the world? No money? Why have a green planet without green money in your pocket? We are in the early stages of something very depressing...
7. The Technology Code - Is it really true that advances in technology makes our life happy and carefree? Social media, AI chatbots and self-driving cars are supposed to be good for us, but do you really trust the machines as they invade everything we consider human?
8. World War III - Don't you feel how quiet it is out there? We haven't had a world war for over 70 years! But now, tempers are rising and the smallest geo-political spark could send us all to the cinder pile faster than you can say Kim Jong-il.
9. Pandemic Covid swine bird monkeypox flu - The end may come from the smallest of enemies, the tiny virus mutated from the snout of a pig sneezing on a chicken who shoves his beak into a monkey's butt who then shares a toilet with a farmer's dog who licks his groin and then his master's hand and we're all dead.
10. Zombie media boredom - There will come a time when everyone in the world turns on their streaming service(s) and realizes they've seen every episode ever made and their eyes roll back into their sockets and they enter a media-induced trance of zombie numbness. Yes, the world survives but we move through it in a glazed state of complete media saturation.

Sure, the hopelessness of our planet's survival is a complete downer. There isn't any way to survive the end of the world, and as we've explored in depth, the signs are all pointing towards an imminent demise of all things. Sure, it's easy to just say, "so what" and give up.

But who really wants to take the easy way out? Don't you want to die trying? Put up a bit of a struggle before the final apocalypse soon? Sure you do. We all do.

So, this is what you do...

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. No panic, no hoarding, no frantic construction projects like an ark or a bomb shelter. No sir, you just go on with your daily life as if you didn't give a rat's ass about your impending doom. It is the only sane thing to do, in a world about to end. Don't give in to it. Ignore it and perhaps it will go away.

Be honest with yourself. How often have you ignored other problems and they somehow solved themselves? See, doing nothing is in fact, doing something really powerful. Embrace the inevitable with blissful ignorance and you will be rewarded in kind.

You will not know what hit you.

I hope this has been helpful. In fact, I feel a state of calm spreading over the internet even as I post this...Yes, it is working. The nothing movement has been born right here, right now. Become part of it by doing nothing. As often as you can. In fact, don't stop, ever.

Bye for now and remember, as Nostradamus said, "The end will not be pretty!"
