I recall as we approached Y2K there was a plethora of ideas in the air. The combination of uncertainty about the computers, the Hale-Bopp comet, former CIA "remote viewers" coming forward with all sorts of predictions, and UFO sightings over Phoenix combined to create a frenzy. Back then it seemed entertaining and exciting, but the climate we inhabit now is much more dire. Of course even that Y2K stuff became quite serious when the members of the Heaven's Gate cult took their own lives.
