I think we have the agency to change our direction. I believe in prophecy, but I also believe that when elements of it appear, it is not inevitable. Biblical prophecies often appear first as warnings to the faithful of what can happen, not what will happen. We can't seem to overcome the failings of human nature, but we can recognize them well enough to avoid disaster. I think it is when people forget that duty and responsibility, that is when doomsday prophecies come true.
One of the world's three major religions was founded upon and remains nihilism. Judeo-Christian principles are about transcendental redemption. I believe the excesses of those encouraging fighting the so-called oligarchy, and so many other issues covered by the media that have little relevance to the majority of our fellow travelers, will implode
