Where, and how, are we supposed to engage with not only the universe but all of its aspects and weirdness?

Surrounded by strangeness we are born into a world without, it seems, our personal request. No map is given to us, no rules are handed out by the cosmos.

Welcome to Doomsday.

Back in the 1990’s one of my most popular and often requested lectures was on the topic of Doomsday or “End of the World” scenarios.
