But that's okay. Time will prove one of us right.

Such is true.

It's strange to me how some are almost giddily anticipating themselves to be proved right on this. As if surviving in a world where 70% of the population has dropped dead in a very short course of time is something that they can do.

It's very much like the climate apocalypse types, or the rapture mongers, or any other apocalypse now groups.

We can go through history, and see people predicting the very imminent demise of civilization, of the end of the world. Are they right? Rarely I supposed, due to war or famine there have been periods of civilizational decline, or even collapse as such. But even now thousands of years after the fall of both Carthage and Rome people still live in both cities. In fact they support much higher populations and living standards than they did back at the so called height of their power.

I remember arguing with a Harold Camping fan a few years ago about how I'd be sorry for not heeding the obvious signs. Well, time proved one of us right.
