That's pretty neat sample of usage for Photoshop brushes. For more free Photoshop brushes I recommend: graphics-illustrations.com Newsletter subscription is required but they offer more cool and free stuff on their newsletter so it's kinda useful too.

I understand what you're saying.

In my opinion, the notion of "prediction" is self-defeating. When someone knows the outcome, people will either do whatever they can to achieve that outcome, or avoid it (depending on whether the outcome is "good" or "bad").

I believe these web-bots are merely picking up the chatter about the end of days (since 2012 is so near, more and ever increasing amounts of dialog will be spoken about it) and surmizing it as a prediction. So that being said, wouldn't humanity do whatever it can to avoid such obviously predicted doom?

Oh, I fluffed the explanation of my last point. I meant to say that this fast and powerful human communication can spread an important overheard comment around the world very quickly.
But let me put myself on the block too:
I have been involved in prediction for some thirty-five years and yes, in the hands of the skilled it does work to some degree. The film “The Minority Report” explores some of the issues of free choice versus fate and multiple different possible futures quite well. In short some furure events may be fixed and some features may be fairly fixed. Predictions of world catastrophic change then become a grave matter…
How sad it would be if our epitaph read, “They abandoned their freedom to create a future by self fulfilling a possible future of their own end.”
Very stimulating blog – more please!

Thanks

I am not sure how people get from ‘what is published on the net’ to ‘collective unconscious’.

What is published on the net is conscious. It predominantly stems from many conscious selves, or egos if you prefer.

It would appear to me that the predictions are based on the ‘collective conscious’. This also opens up interesting avenues of research. They might include ‘Collective determination of events’ perhaps through the power of belief and thought effecting the social and material world and ‘Self fulfilling collective prophecy’.

Additionally we cannot exclude the deeply social nature of our species and the results of research such as the problem of “How many hand shakes does it take to make a chain from an individual anywhere in the world to someone shaking the hand of the President of the United States?” Typically around eight handshakes I seem to remember. The results of research like this also points to rumour or fast communication across us all. Individual belief can very soon become widespread fact.
