The Lure of the Apocalypse Meme

KMO welcomes John Michael Greer back to the C-Realm Podcast to talk about millennialism and our human attraction to the idea of the impending end of the world, which is the topic of John Michael's newest book, Apocalypse Not: Everything You Know About 2012, Nostradamus and the Rapture Is Wrong. The wide-ranging conversation touches on UFOs, the Technological Singularity, the Mayan calendar, and the efforts of one formerly industrial town to re-invent itself and thrive in the emerging post-industrial economy.
