This so called Doomsday Clock has been ticking since 1947! Who believes in this phony crap anymore! Next year we will probably have only microseconds left! Who is scared of the bogeyman or this voodoo clock?
"The clock started out [in 1947] at 11:53 p.m. and over the years has shifted backwards and forwards as the global situation has worsened or improved. But on 23 January 2020 ... historic decision was announced to “leaders and citizens of the world” at the National Press Club in Washington, DC by members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In setting the clock to 100 seconds to midnight, they cited risks such as worsening nuclear threats, a lack of climate action, and the rise of “cyber-enabled disinformation campaigns that undermine society’s ability to act”. ..."
Francisco Goya's Que viene el Coco' ("Here Comes the Boogeyman / The Boogeyman is Coming"), c. 1797
