Quote:Backing away from a false prophecy does not abrogate responsibility for issuing it in the first place.
What responsibility? What did anybody force you to do? Why are we to be 'held responsible' for sharing our thoughts?
Quote:What does that even mean?
What you see as 'false prophecy', I see as 'zealous interest'. There are always those who are going to push ideas and concepts to the edges of reason; in this way, I don't find as much fault when somebody backs off a certain idea or concept because the whole idea in general is risky. I expect it, to a degree. I agree that this should be communicated more clearly maybe... but that is people's catalyst to work with and through. If people are going to fall so hard for it, i'm sure there are lessons to learn there. There's value in almost everything.

Without the December 21st, 2012 meme, i'm not sure I would have 'switched over' from one camp to the other. How many who expected great changes are going to leave the world of distractions and instead just focus on their own life and setting for the next few months? I'd guess a good chunk of them. I know some people will forever see David as a pied piper of fools, but I like being a fool, so I argue for it. Maybe i'm unique in that I can keep it on an 'entertainment' level rather than getting too caught up in it, but I think people are more reasonable than the critics like to think. We all handle things differently. I have relatives that are two sides of the coin; both are completely unrealistic, but one gets upset and the other just accepts it. I think we need to refrain from trying to lay too much blame for the passage we've taken. Like you have said, what matters is where we go and what we do NOW and moving forward.
