What I find interesting is that when 2012 was a ways off, a fair number of people would say that they thought it actually might happen, that it seemed credible.

But as the date approaches, those voices get more and more subdued.

People are less willing to be proven wrong and foolish when that is going to happen TOMORROW, rather than years from now.

When we get to December, to the last week, there won't be anyone voicing alarm, and there will be many voicing derision. Those that had been giving creedence to the idea of 2012 will be very quiet, or will have even forgotten that they were giving it creedence a couple years ago, and will now be voicing derision with the crowd.

It seems to amount to this:

People like to PRETEND silly stuff like this might be real. But they're more reluctant to PRETEND that silly stuff when faced with an imminent prospect of having that silly stuff disproved when it fails to materialize.

People are more willing to pretend silly stuff when they don't really have to commit to it.

Well, we're still here, aren't we?

That was Reverend Harold Camping. He scheduled the end of the world for May 21, 2011. Then he rescheduled it for October 21, 2011.

He's been pretty quiet since then.

Oh, okay. Well, you have a point. There is always the possibility that the 2012 stuff might come true. That's possible.

It's just not very probable. The probability of that is of such a low order that it's silly to even consider it.

Do you think the world will end come December 21?
