The Shit Hits The Fan

There are about to be intersecting concentric circles of shit flying everywhere from all the fans we have going now. Economic collapse, political destabilization, warfare, climate disruption and resource depletion, all set to the drumbeat of failing food supplies and dying species.

We've prepared an honest-to-God Ragnarök for the Eschaton. We all get special, reserved ringside seating. The management hopes you enjoy the show. Or not. It's your choice.

The first is that I've been playing in the Fields of Doom for at least 12 years, since I figured out that oil depletion had the potential to crash civilization. So I'm pretty used to this point of view.

The second is that I've made the choice to enjoy the end-times, even if one of the Four Horsemen carries me off.

It's all good. If your meds are balanced properly, anyway!

Cassandra's track record on that particular piece of end-is-nigh-atude is pretty bad.
