It's just that you and I have very different perceptions on what constitutes something worth panicking about.
I'll reiterate. I am from rural Iowa. I grew up quaker, surrounded by actual "life on hard mode" amish. I've seen what the 19th century looked like in practice.
It does not scare me.
I do not doubt for a second that conflict is coming. Cities will burn, millions will die, starvation and war will wage.
But when you already live in the proverbial scrapyard, you don't care what happens to the Tipharians (as long as you aren't straight under the damn thing when it falls).
I'm already familiar with the solar clock cycle hypothesis.
It's just not supported in the geological records as an event of the magnitude they pitch it as. Even by their reckoning, homo erectus has already survived it dozens of times and agrarian civilization has survived at least two.
Simply put, it doesn't make a compelling argument as a civilization ending event. It's not even as convincing as a continental scale event compared to Yellowstone (which probably would kill tens of millions), or a technology focused event like a geomagnetic reversal (which would almost certainly wipe out most if not all of our LEO satellites).
Yellowstone WILL happen sometime in the next 50 thousand years or so. The geological record on that is very clear, happens like clockwork. When it does it will wipe out most life east of Chicago in the immediate ash event, followed by a mass famine caused by the collapse of northern hemisphere agriculture, and the ensuing war that will prevoke. Assuming we're still around to fight over it to begin with.
You didn't even bother to work in the return of Halley's Comet, nub.
Mayan doom calendar didn't pan out.
Hale-Bopp and Heaven's Gate didn't pan out.
Y2K didn't pan out (and I even had to fix some of that shit).
The 2038 problem... probably will break some stuff but not be more than a minor irritant because Time32 is a pernicious little shit.
I'm at the point of put up or shut up when it comes to armageddons.
i dont usually dab in doomsday prophecies. but the collapse is MUCH closer than we EVER thought before. you have to at least see that o.o
Collapse yes.
