I've already been party to three or four different conversations where people are asking: Why are all these disasters happening now? What is going to happen next? Is this global warming? A portent of evil? etc....

All that talk indicates is that people are forgetful, and somehow believe that we as a generation are special.

You can see this phenomenon every time the seasons change. "It's never been this cold," "The weather changed so quickly," blah blah blah. Forgetfulness and an inflated sense of self.
