A soothsayer is someone who speaks the truth, a meaning that has long been lost, as Western civilization has increasingly moved away from Reality.
As soothsayer has also meant ‘prophet’ since the late fourteenth century, it is time to listen those who are honestly telling humanity what it does want to hear about near-term extinction.
For such understanding is profoundly soothing, as we become liberated from the sense of a separate self.
