pretty cool post, thanks foosnik... i feel sort of presumptuous thinking i'm part of this, but for what it's worth that first one really clicks with me. there's this part of me that thinks there's this mission i'm here for, but it's kind of a hollow feeling. maybe it's just human nature to glom onto something like 2012. certainly will be quite a let down if that's all it is.

i'm not saying that i particularly resonate with the first wave, but i have been wondering similar things about how it could just be human desire to grab onto something more important that material existence. i do wonder if i am only drawn to it because it seems important. in any case, it certainly feels like i have some sort of a mission, and have had others tell me that in various ways. the doubt could just be some sort of defense mechanism? i don't know, but it seems like a way of taking the blue pill and "[having] the story end . . . you wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe."
