    Did you give it away preparing for the rapture the other day? :)

    Have you watched any of these videos of people who sold/gave
    everything away (sometimes including children!?) because they were
    so sure the rapture was coming the other day? And now they're
    posting on social media all these tearful videos? I hope this is
    humanity's low point for stupidity... but the reality is it's
    about to fall through the floor.

    I don't know anything about a recent wave of rapture enthusiasm, but so
    far as human stupidity, if we mean awareness of cause/effect and how to evaluate various social stimulus, and the basic understanding that there
    is a record of previous human dealings (it's called "history"), yep it probably will decline. Given the current forgiving nature of
    consequence, in which the individual is buffered to varying degrees from
    the consequences of his/her actions, it's a non-essential skill.

    Once the shit flips, it will become essential again, and we'll see who
    the quick learner are.

    If we're still around...

    WRT the rapture, I saw this film way back when...

    The old good days

    I remember those. Us kids, even my parents, simply threw them in the
    wood bin with various other sport items. Occasionally, Wimbledon only,
    we would take those things out and hit around. Amazingly, we actually
    kept many shots in the court; pace and intent weren't even considered...
