Could it be possible that like every other generation, we are obsessed with this as a pivotal moment of time?
And it’s not? It’s just generational narcissism?
The narrative that the big news and big fight and great awakening is coming goes on and on and on and on.
Urgency brings action and excitement! So much excitement. See something on Twitter? Share it, post it, tell all your friends that this moment is so big!
Maybe it's not.
This is here in the DS thread but it could be in the climate change thread, the Y2K thread, the Mayan clock thread, the Cold War thread, etc.
