How did you originally discover it?
If possible, obviously. I am seriously wondering because to know that word is to have gone through the process of doing a lot of deep reflection to have discovered that word. So were you having the end of the world thoughts and came across it or was it merely as part of an interesting article type of thing? |

Re: How did you originally discover it?
I learned that word while reading various end-of-times myths and from a science fiction book by Charles Stross named "Singularity Sky". Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

No idea, but...
...it was already in my vocab when I first heard "Destination Eschaton", by The Shamen - and that was on 1995's Boss Drum. |

I knew that one, and as you all know, I never think. You learn words by reading lots of shit.
Yeah, could be I got it like Scott A, from Stross. Not necessarily, though, don't remember fersure. Anyway, doesn't have much -- if anything -- to do with deep Rodin-pose Pondering at all. -- Christian R.

So a while back Peter thought I was being hysterical about this. What do you think?
