Apocalypse and The Good Life: "Global nuclear war, biggest threat to civilization."

  Apocalypse and The Good Life  

"Global nuclear war, biggest threat to civilization."

 Now and then we encounter apocalyptic prophesies -  from  Nostradamus to Malthus, from the Aztecs to NASA and Hawking - but we are still here apparently enjoying The Good Life.

The Good Life!  

We wish for more and forever. 

It is a dream come true

in folly, lust and frivolity. 

Global but of two worlds -

what is it really, 

and whose Good Life?

 Here are disturbing signs.  avr

Modern prophets walk the streets; biblical Four Horsemen of Apocalypse 

still a favorite theme of the arts. 

 

Choking smog over cities virtually a gas chamber; overcrowded human habitat, 

prelude to the death of cities.  

 

Global nuclear war, biggest threat to civilization. (Nuclear weapons have a potential 3 times killing power over our present population); combined with man-induced calamities, the scenario is indeed apocalyptic. 

 

Left, Global warming accelerating, will it "fry" the Earth?  (painting by the author). Artist's concept of Impact theory - collision with asteroid, meteor or NOVA, a theory to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs and majority of other animals some 65.5 million years ago. 

 

Pollution on land, water, and air - cumulative in global scale and geometric in progression poses a very serious threat to the younger and future generations. It opens a second chapter to "The Evolution of Man," after Darwinian evolution. 


Pollution of the mind (information pollution or Infollution) from social media, science and technology, religion, academe, etc., has even a larger impact to humans challenging institutions, tradition, values and ideals.  All these are anti-thesis of The Good Life. So, what is The Good Life.  How does it relate to the  Apocalyptic Signs in our times?
