Happy new world

Yesterday, just as the Mayans predicted, the world ended.

Today is the new world.

In the new world of today, you do not have to repeat the mistakes of that old world. That’s a big part of what makes it new. It’s also what makes it good.

I’m glad we all made it, and I’m looking forward to what we can accomplish.

    My alma mater forbids citing Wikipedia as a source, but for reader accessibility and readability, I offer the meat and potatoes version on the world-without-end-to-date….

    Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar was the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm would take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 was simply the day that the calendar went to the next b’ak’tun, at Long Count 13.0.0.0.0. The date on which the calendar will go to the next piktun (a complete series of 20 b’ak’tuns), at Long Count 1.0.0.0.0.0, will be on October 13, 4772.

    We won’t be around.
