I found this on another board today and it got me wondering what you guys think about all these doomsday predictions set for 2012.

They're all tinfoil hat wearing voodoo practitioners over there in /x/. I want to know what rational minds think of the subject.

we arn't worried OP.
any predictions made on mysticism and not science are doomed to failure

It's all bullshit, what else could there possibly be to it.

[Anonymous No.2387976]

Most likely bullshit. If a prediction succeeds, it's either because:
1) Based on predictable/deterministic phenomena.- don't see the case being so here.
2) Coincidence - rare, wouldn't worry.
3) Self-fulfilling prophecy - believers in said predictions put in motions dynamics that cause the event to happen.

Thus I'm not really worried about 2012. I'm a lot more worried by how popular it is and the people believing in these doomsday predictions than of anything that might happen then.

Rational minds are aware of the 2012 thing being a big load based on a misunderstanding of the Mayan Long Count Calender coming to en end around December 21st in 2012. We are aware that the Mayan system of long term time measurement involved astronomical bodies, as with most cultures. Unlike with the Gregorian calender, which is contiguous and updated constantly, the Mayans made one super accurate calender with an expiration date. The world wasn't going to end on 2012, the calender was going to be invalid on 2012. That was their THIRD calender to do this. And they even started making the fourth.

feels good to hear that coming form someone else.

I didn't have the facts but my opinion was that the poor Mayans had to stop there calendar sometime and couldn't just mark it out to infinity.

I expected they'd use a repeated measurement of time like an Age, but i have no idea how long their calendar goes on for, do you?

THIS. I've read about the chaos that will inflict will certain areas of Earth because of the fanaticals who are convinced that the world will end on December 21, 2012. There will be those living as if this day is the end. Who knows what they'll do?

If anything spectacular happens, it's we, the human species, who were the cause.

He's on DMT. He's not tripping, it's a spiritual awakening. They're different.

Flooding of the earth seems like the most plausible means of our destruction.

Think about it, all it would take is melting the ice caps (which can be done in a variety of ways (nukes)) and thw whole world will be underwater.
