Since you really like Yuga, I thought I should let you know about another one of his works: The Sandstone Papers: On the Crisis of Contemporary Life. It a collection of six (fictitious) essays on the crisis of the modern world, each of which from the different points of view of a psychologist, a nun, a Marxist professor, a professor of Philosophy and Romance Languages, a ‘beat poet’, and an anthropologist. I haven't read it myself, but I think this ties into his point that we are all "unconscious prophets of the Kali Yuga." It seems to me we all have a sense that there is something wrong with the world, but only a very few can correctly diagnose exactly what it is. Those who misdiagnose the problem are usually the same people who think the problem can be fixed, reformed, or reversed, and by doing so are unaware they are contributing to the unfolding entropy. Going back to your Dark Knight example, the key may be to do nothing at all.
