Tue, 22 Jun 2010 04:37:43 +0000 http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/?p=384#comment-1352 [...] I don't know why the public fascination with December 2012 is so polarized into a binary. The Mayans had very savvy and sophisticated astronomers and mathematicians. Fear abounds about what they may have anticipated or calculated would happen when the last Long Count cycle ends. Others contend a link between the Long Count and the axial precession. The feeling is that the new astrological age heralds something. Perhaps it's only that they didn't feel they should issue the next Long Count cycle, especially given their creation mythology. Ask an almanac company, today, to publish an edition for the years 2800-2900 and see what happens. If the Mayan civilization was still in some form around today, I'm certain they would have reconsidered doing the next Long Count by now. Most of the contemporary pop-culture debate over 2012 is over Nostradamus' published poetic interpretations of his divination sessions. Honestly, this is so puzzling, the way the Western world's captivated imagination empower specific interpretations of one man's poetry. Like the books in the Christian Bible, you can twist any passage into a prophesied doom-and-gloom scenario. Human beings have a knack for searching out concrete objective insight of the future, from their clever meditations over someone else's writings. If there was any precognitive insight glimpsed by the mind of Nostradamus at all, by the time you decide to trust in what a fringe scholar says about it, it will have been secondhand, at the very least. When you get right down to it, the only one who knows what they saw is Nostradamus, and a subjective point-of-view is just that. His cantos are poetic imagery, by the way, not a good way to sum up the fate of all the world's civilizations with certainty. There is simply so much we do not know about the physical world, and while information may travel along a future light cone of sorts, it isn't a safe bet to live in fear of a possibility; or, to make life-altering decisions based on any information you get regarding 2012. I've accepted that there's a chance of an important trend in coming years, but that's all anyone could say of a mountain coming up over the horizon. The audacity for anyone to attribute it to a date or even just a year, 2012, seems laughable. And, to say that it must herald the end of civilization seems so errant and grasping at straws to find meaning. One of the best characterizations about the whole issue is Erin Pavlina's blog entry here. [...]
