new agers who believe in that terrence mckenna 2012 singularity bullshit are just as dumb as fundie xtians with their left behind rapture bullshit

it was the mayan calendar, but yeah. terrence mckenna did some numerological bullshit with the i ching and arrived at the same date (12/12/2012). which just proves that numerology is bunk.

but if the mayans had not been destroyed, i think they would have extrapolated their calendar a little longer, ne?
