The End Is Always Near Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses

I've been listening to this book It's fucking Carlin's book... this one's called the end is always near or something

He's been talking about how if you really think about it Nearly every single generation in every society has been victims of child abuse...

It's simply because who knows, right? But it's a book of questions and they're the most important questions maybe you could as a group ask.

It dives right into some parenting topics and some crazy abusive previous societies.

I brought those subjects to the fore of the book, though, because I was trying to establish how we might respond to some of the challenges that we're going to talk about later in the book.
