Intros
"Dr Gob feels preapocalyptic. He wants to immanentize the eschaton, but he keeps getting distracted. Kalkis is descending on his white horse and Dr. Gob is seeking the bodhisattva Maitreya and the rediscovered dharma. Time is tikkun olam. Bring the frashokereti, cnts, the big rip off will only accelerate the terminal purge.""

Quote
"At the end of thy tenth hundredth winter, the sun is more unseen and more spotted; the year, month, and day are shorter; and the earth is more barren; and the crop will not yield the seed. And men become more deceitful and more given to vile practices. They will have no gratitude. Honorable wealth will proceed to those of perverted faith. And a dark cloud makes the whole sky night, and it will rain more noxious creatures than water." - from Bahman Yasht (eg: 2:31 in http://www.masseiana.org/bahman_yasht.htm), similar passages in Zand-i Vohuman Yasht (see IV:16-21 of http://www.avesta.org/mp/vohuman.html)
