Right.

And as far as today's rapture prediction goes, it just came from a YouTube video of some guy in South Africa saying that the rapture was coming.

There's a date.

There is a date.

Yeah, and he's a pastor, right?

Nope, he's just a dude who said he saw Jesus in a dream in 2018.

But why today?

Why this year?

He said it was because of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

What?

Look, rapture predictions aren't new and they often take off during uncertain times.

That makes sense.

Yeah, for example, I don't even know if I'd be able to watch Jimmy Kimmel tonight because ABC brought him back, but the affiliates Sinclair and Nexstar have still banned him.

And so there's a lot of uncertainty around that.

Very specific example, but yeah.

Anyway, it does make sense, though, that people had an emotional reaction to something like a rapture.

We've always had emotional reactions to media.

It's because we're afraid of it a lot of the time.

And it turns out that fear and misinformation travel six times faster than the truth.

So what emotion is more powerful than fear?
