"Newton in fact predicted that end of days would occur no sooner than 2060. “It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner,” he wrote.

Newton took a very mathematical approach to determining this: he systematically analyzed the revelatory passages of the Book of Daniel and corresponded the events that had already occurred to their respective dates in the Gregorian calendar. He then found a pattern between these dates and extrapolated to determine the date of the apocalypse.

Newton wanted to put and end to the failed predictions that caused mass hysteria in his time. He wanted to replace these predictions from false prophets with evidence-based predictions. Newton wrote, “This I mention to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail.”

Newton did not necessarily believe the apocalypse was a time of Michael Bay styled explosions and destruction but rather a period of global transition into a better, peace-loving age. On an eerie final note, Newton asserted that not long before the end of days the Jews would return to the holy land."

Oh wow
The Bible says the Jews would return to the Holy Land before the end of days
And Newton agreed with the Bible
Which he studied to reach this conclusion
So spook

the creation of three dimensional memes, which get more and more vivid until we create life itself and denounce god's memes as 'mediocre' compared to mans memes ultimately blurring the line between meme and reality until each person is a walking breathing meme, indistinguishable from one an other. into the point where as reality disolves unto the imaginary and no one can tell what is or what is not any more,we lose all sense of identity and reason, absurdity and purpose lose meaning until we've exhausted all possible memez at which point humanity(or what's left of it) will have to take it's first genuine look at itself. turning away in disgust they wil return to god in hopes to mend the abomination they have made. But god will not answer them. And humanity is left in an empty culturless state.

>And Newton agreed with the Bible
Which is very rare for him.

"Newton cross-referenced the various translations of the Bible he had and noted disparities among them. While doing this he noted the time a version was written and where it was from.

One day, Newton was going through this process with the fifth chapter of the First Epistle of John. He noticed a discrepancy in the versions. The King James version reads: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” This sentence is the foundation of the fundamental Christian concept of the Trinity: The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.

But Newton noticed something. None of the earlier Greek versions included “and these three are one.” Newton searched the rest of the Bible for evidence of the Trinity but amazingly found nothing. In fact, he found compelling evidence against it.

Newton then completely rejected the Trinity and wrote up twelve points on why the Trinity was nonexistent. He contended that the Catholic Church was fundamentally erred in its interpretation of Christianity."

The same place it's been heading since forever. If ancient Romans had the internet, they'd be meming and shitposting, too.

Memes keep men alike. They say you don't need hundreds of pages of prose anymore to describe a feeling, a sensation, an attitude, a way of being. We have now to accept them, and move our minds and creative powers to more needed tasks

People have always done stupid shit, your scope of civilization and progress acts like our memes are their Colosseum.. History talks about the important people and actual achievements like the Hadron Collider, the proof of micro-organisms we just found on asteroids, the global growth of legalizing gay marriage, etc. Just because your history books don't talk about idiots farting and laughing about it doesn't mean people haven't been doing it for millenia. We're still progressing, you're just looking at the people that don't really matter (historically, about 95-99% of them)
