There's a good piece here on the possibility that the promised eschatological event won't happen.
As it points out, end-of-the-world scenarios have been fruitful research material for social psychologists since the mid-50s. And I have no doubt that there are dozens of research teams already busy this time around.
I've tried to apply the research on cognitive dissonance to less cataclysmic learning situations here.
See you Sunday! Perhaps.
