Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity And a shit-ton of venture capital !
— William Butler Yeats, “The Second Coming”
That's great, it starts with an earthquake Birds and snakes, an aeroplane, and Stephen Downes is not afraid !
— R.E.M., “It’s The End of the World As We Know It”
DOOM!
