It's a sick fucking world we live in,” said a friend of mine while scrolling through the news the other day. She’s right. War, terrorism, disease, natural disasters, racism, school shootings, and worse are increasingly permeating headlines. And in the past year—what with ISIS, Ebola, Gaza, Malaysia Airlines flight 370, and the conflict in Ukraine (just to name a few recent crises)—I’ve started to entertain the idea that the guy in the tinfoil helmet standing on Fifth Avenue preaching the end of the world might actually be on to something.
