Don't you find that just absolutely amazing.
Events can be foretold 2000 years back in the past. The greatest prophetic mind in the last 600 years reconfirms that this is what is going to happen. He also says, well both sources also say we have free will and can choose not to do stupid things or act badly.
And yet here we are on the brink of firing up the single most devastatingly powerful machine ever built and not an ounce of caution or public interest or awareness.
Einstein was noted for commenting on the stupidity of the human race. I think he was being kind, I can't believe how mind bogglingly stupid it is to do the things we plan at this time.
I pray that a few individuals may just take some precautions even if it is only to take a well deserved holiday. Laughter is uncomfortable but normally it wont kill you. |

Dear Sentient Marine:
It is indeed interesting isn't it?
'We' had the intelligence to build a device, that, for all we knew, when we pushed the detonate button on the first atomic bomb, all material substance on the planet - the planet en toto - would go fissile in the chain reaction that was designed to occur in the bomb components.... We built that weapon, installed that button, and: we pushed it...
Einstein has been criticized considerably for his commentaries on human stupidity, but then, he certainly had his reasons. The irony that The Pacifists work 'inspired' The Bomb, is inescapable of course.
It is true that the Nazis were working on the bomb also, and that we were in a race with them to design it.... Still, we built a devise that might literally destroy the world in one fell fissile swoop, we installed a detonation button, and we did forthwith push it.
Letting the Nazis do it, or ourselves having done it.......
Either way, its a mighty soberin' thought...
Best regards,
