  1. @tylikcat I wish I had time! Short trip is short.
  2. @BrianTRice I've been meaning to catch up on his blog actually, but life is nuts right now.
  3. @peeppeepeep I don't think I'm being particularly hyperbolic, actually.
  4. @peeppeepeep a) welcome to 140 characters. b) I do think there are some strong determinations from our stories.
  5. @li5a Of course not, that was a compliment. :-)
  6. .@headhntr Ah, yes, the blast radius theory of evidentiary jurisprudence, commonly know as habeas shrapnel. A key USG contribution to law.
  7. @r4gni All of us, and most of us, respectively, at least for now.
  8. @peeppeepeep Stories define who we are and who we can become. Of course they're critical to the choices we make.
  9. @eldang That depends on our understanding that we'll survive the apocalypse. Different story.
  10. @warraqeen It's manufactured, self-serving fatalism. Aquisitive capitalism cannot survive deep time, and so must kill the indefinite future.
  11. @Mimekiller These stories say "the apocalypse will come, no matter what you do" - revelation. I.e., might as well take what you can now.
  12. @psproctor Planning more is not born out by the world we see around us. The anxiety we shed allows us to kill ourselves fearlessly.
  13. @Jerem_Morrow IOW, almost all of us will live through "the end of the world" and have to make a new future with what is left.
  14. @Jerem_Morrow It's a tough balance to strike. The key is the middle, where yes calamity may strike, but problems you create now don't vanish
  15. @li5a Trooooooooooooll! ;-)
  16. As jetlagged days go, today was stupidly productive.
  17. @mims @j_zimms I've got a copy of that sitting around still unread, but yes. However, apocalyptica is still our dominant post-Modern mindset
  18. @mims If by 2012 we cannot negotiate between apocalypse and utopia, we may deserve our own shortsightedness.
  19. @mims Heterotopia. Also, in part the problem is that the apocalypse is not the end of the world; most of us will still wake up afterward.
  20. @punctuated One of the key notes with Dark Mountain is that yes, things will get quite bad, but that we will *live* afterward.
