How many of them did I make?

Should we prepare now for the eventuality that the sun will burn out? And this we CAN predict.

If rely we rely on scientific models. They’re never wrong, right.

You know how many models of the atom there have been? Ever hear of the Standard Model in quantum physics?

What humans know barely what exists. What they think they know, is a lot more.

Yet, in 2008, 2012, and, now, 2016 we’ve heard very similar arguments, as if the immediate election choices represent the end of America over the next four years.

And how many of those were things I said concerning the immediate election choices representing the end of America?

So, which version was true?

If I was to believe everyone who said at the time that Ohms was wrong, do I believe in the genius of Ohms that he touched upon God’s truth or do I believe in the majority opinion that declared that Ohms could not possibly be right?

Who is Ohms and what did he propose?

IR=V
Current times resistance equals voltage.

In other words I believe in my own judgment, not the 99% of humanity who are idiots on top of being wrong.

There have been predictions of the end of the world for as long has humanity had come to live in complex societies.

I doubt a generation went by where prognosticators great and small were announcing this as if they “knew” it was coming within their lifetimes.

Should we prepare now for the eventuality that the sun will burn out? And this we CAN predict.

Thing is, if/when it comes, we will never know until it is on our doorstep.

Yet, in 2008, 2012, and, now, 2016 we’ve heard very similar arguments, as if the immediate election choices represent the end of America over the next four years.

So, which version was true? Clearly, 2008 and 2012 were wrong. With 2016, we won’t ever know if clinton represented the end. They are simply all exaggerations to generate a political boost from the fear it generates?

So, yes, ignore these predictions because they are false.

No doubt the left are now making that argument wrt trump’s win, as unpredictable as he has been.

Anyone who doesn’t buy in to these extremes are targets for derision.

There was no profit in declaring an inevitable US Civil War II after 2012 or during 2007.

There was no political election to deride people for either.

What people like Big are ignoring is the fact that the Apocalypse is coming, and it is independent of whose side or faction wins in 2016. For people whose experience with prophecies comes from Jim Jones, Gaia warming cultists, and Republican talking heads, their ability to judge is severely compromised.

Especially for those who believed Shinigami Shinseki had a point about Iraq or much of anything relating to the military.

People should have figured out that paying money into corrupt organizations is just another cult or Roman Catholic indulgence con.

Then again, we are talking about humans, so expectations must be adjusted.

Admittedly we screw up by electing 84% of incumbents and the Tea Party tried to work on that. ANd got Thad Cochran – again. I suppose Haley Barbour is just waiting for the election to be over so good ole THad can retire and Haley can appoint the son or Nephew for whom Thad is warming the seat.
THe Republican Party is over – most of the people I have worked with in the party structure are completely through with the Party. NO more money, no more shoe leather, no more sticking your neck out admitting you are a “deplorable”/ Going Galt is looking better and better. THe only people still concerned are those with grandchildren.

Scott Walker accomplished the goal of almost every Republican of crippling the public employee unions, restoring budget control to the legislature and reducing spending. Again Trump criticized him as a “failure”.

The job is half done but Trump is doing nothing to help.

It shouldn’t be lost on us that we hear the same from the left… global warming / climate change anyone?

Anger, grievance and fear motivates, and there are actors out there who know this who use it to their profit.

Anyone who doesn’t buy in to these extremes are targets for derision.
