Assuming that Doomsday is something which should concern us rather than something hardly to be feared- I guess that's the product of a word like Doom- I don't think we are any closer than 100 seconds to Midnight today than when we first learned how to convert matter to energy. Those who have been seen as the principlal clock operators have seemed more concerned with slowing rather than accelerating as they realize that they are not exceptions.

If its all or nothing at all, do we really need to worry about it? I sure as hell don't.

Cheers!

I don't think it is 'the clock' as much as it is the world itself. With each year, each natural disaster, each pandemic, we are inch9ing closer and closer to armageddon.
I read a story about this so-called clock. They unveil it once every year and each year we get closer and closer, some years by what one might say. leaps and bounds' and other years by a snail's pace. But the thought, overall, is that we are headed for some sort of armageddon if we keep living the way we have, and I don't just mean US, this goes for the entire world. Maybe it was their way of making a point--a la Doomsday Clock.
