Wanting to live in the end times is kind of cowardly since it absolves of you of the burden of building a better future. Some great compelling force will come down from on high and sort it all out.

Since you don't really know what times you face it's more responsible and brave to live as if these are the "Beginning Times" instead. And with great effort you may do a tiny bit of good that lasts a few decades beyond your grave.

Normally, when sharing an article, I try to pick one or two quotes that I feel are worth highlighting.

This article simply contains too many. I can only implore everyone to read this.

It doesn't stop. It is mind boggling. And it is unforgivable.

from 'Empire of Capital' by Ellen Meiksins Wood

'On November 28th, 2012, Randall Munroe published an xkcd comic that was a calendar in which the size of each date was proportional to how often each date is referenced by its ordinal name (…) "In months other than September, the 11th is mentioned substantially less often than any other date. It's been that way since long before 9/11 and I have no idea why." After digging into the raw data, I believe I have figured out why.'
