Of course, no one wants to be fooled one more time!
21 December 2012… will it be the end of the world? Or the start of something absolutely new? Will it be anything at all?
Those were the thoughts I had when I drew this piece.
At the center of all this was the Mayan Calendar. It was predicting the end of a very long cycle, and it had to be admitted that it has been uncannily accurate in the past.
My best wish for that day — and I’m long enough in the tooth not to build up my expectations unreasonably — was that there would be a singularity of some sort. Planetary life will soon become untenable, and it’s hard to believe that — in a benign and well-organized Multiverse — the total destruction of a biosphere would be allowed to happen. Too much of a waste.
