This is what some people on Fox News are saying because they saw drag queens at the Olympics. The end times are coming. 🙄

Yes, the drag queens will destroy the world, not unfettered capitalism.

I’m currently reading “All the Knowledge in the World: A History of the Encyclopedia” by Simon Garfield. It mentions a similar thought held by some around the time of the creation of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. (Late 1700s, if I recall correctly)

There were too many books, and they were being printed by just anyone. Who needs a really long dictionary, anyway?

There’s a lot of references to this, but it looks like there’s not a known source. Interestingly, the first reference to this tablet was from 1908. quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/22/world-end/

I read the tablet and it’s more about the quality of copper ingots delivered than the general decline of civilization.

I don’t see a problem viewing our current predicament a post apocalypse

The bronze age collapse happened ~1600 years after that tablet was written, i guess that could count as an end of the world(that they knew)
