I'm not angry I'm disappointed: End of the world threat level: Beige

This song is probably seriously meant, but that doesn't make it's message any less ridiculous. All apocalypses are personal, first and foremost. And let's not forget the hundreds of thousands of Christians happily awaiting the end, as certain groups have since the invention of religion. But it's a common factor in secular thinking as well. As you grow older the idiotic idea takes hold that things are worse than they were, across the board. This especially absurd considering that we are now living in the most gilded of all golden ages. Prophets of doom tend to conveniently forget that at no point in human history as many people have had their basic needs taken care of as right now, except maybe last year. People tend to forget that though some things might have been better 20 years ago for you personally, lots of things weren't. People shocked at a tiny increase in crime rates compared to last year really ought to look up the average chance of dying due to violent street crime a hundred years ago. Or, for that matter, look up how statistics actually work before talking about increases between years that don't take any other factors in account, like the last ten years, or other components of the easily skewed numbers.
