2012: Tsunami of Stupidity: Why the latest apocalyptic cult is a silly scam.
By Ron Rosenbaum
Updated Friday, May 22, 2009, at 1:10 PM ET
The growing harmonic convergence of apocalyptic stupidity that goes under
the rubric 2012 or "the Mayan Calendar Prophecy" has not yet reached Y2K
proportions. And while it's broken out of the New Agey cult status where
it's been fermenting for some years, there are still many in the chattering
classes who haven't heard about it. "The end of the world in 2012?" my
friend Stanley said. "You mean I have to wait that long?"
The cult around the date Dec. 21, 2012-the supposed apocalyptic final day on
something referred to knowingly as "The Mayan 'Long Count' Calendar"-has
been the subject of fevered fantasies on the net and the free New Age
"magazines" given away at health-food stores. But last week Newsweek gave it
serious attention, and there's a metastasizing web of 2012 sites, including
at least one anti-2012 site, which has a section devoted to debunking the
apparently limitless number of gullible airheads who have become 2012
believers.
Even within the web of believer webs there are bitter mini-schisms already:
Some believe that Dec. 21, 2012, will mark the end of the world in some kind
of fiery apocalypse, planetary collision, gravitational reversal, black-hole
disappearance, spontaneous combustion, or planetary rotational reversal of
some sort. Then there are those who believe that the end of the old Mayan
calendar will be something to look forward to: a transformational moment in
the history of creation that will be all good for earth's peeps-a "harmonic
convergence"-type thing. (Remember that from the '80s, when a bunch of
planets lining up were supposed to work wonders on Earth?) In 2012, human
nature will undergo a rebirth, the beginning of a New Age. (The Age of
Aquarius at last! Maybe it's all hype for the revival of Hair.)
And, of course, there's at least one major motion picture of the cataclysm
school, Roland Emmerich's 2012, due this November. And, needless to say, the
New Age section of your local chain bookstore is bursting with 2012 titles.
There's the literate Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. I
was an admirer of Pinchbeck's brave first book, Breaking Open the Head,
about his search for shamanic experiences, and must admit I'm disappointed
that he seems to have reduced all that mystery and wonder to a single number
in 2012-although I'm sure that's not how he would put it.
And, finally, there's the frankly exploitive: everything from Beyond 2012 to
(I swear) The Complete Idiot's Guide to 2012 (a bit redundant). Then there
are the "2012 survival kits," a 2012 iPhone app, an "official" 2012 store,
and other foolishness-the whole Y2K survivalist huckster aspect of 1999
replicating itself.
It's a harmonic convergence all right, a harmonic convergence of ignorance
and superstition-a tsunami of stupidity-worthy of the millennial cults of
the 19th century most enjoyably anatomized in Leon Festinger's famous study,
When Prophecy Fails, a look at the way end-of-the-world cults grow even
stronger after their prophet's end-of-the-world date flies by and the world
confoundingly continues to exist. (Festinger's study gave rise to the term
"cognitive dissonance.")

Sounds about right. All the kooks down in kookville have been
predicting the end of the world and the return of {fill in favored
diety here} for at least as long as written records date back. Just
another band of gibbering buffoons. |

They sure do. I ran across a website a couple years ago that listed
all of the known "End of the World!" predictions going back a couple
thousand years, or around that, and it was always the same. Big
build up, the occasional "Heaven's Gate" types of incidences, but in
the end... nothing. |

Indeed he is. Thank you for pointing that out, Brother Noauth. He has

Soles? Where they eaten cooked or raw? Or did you mean the soles of
