As 2012 came and went with nothing happening. Nothing of note I noticed anyway, the main prediction concerning this that came to mind was that of John Titor. Titor said nothing happened.

That is generally covered in the above post, but I'm sure John Titor(hoax or not) had some part to play in what we did experience happening.

The analysis extremely flawed. It lumps together predictions that everything will be normal with predictions that 2012 will be apocalyptic, then throws in some hopeful business projections that just happen to set 2012 as a target. The apocalyptic predictions were all 100% wrong, and the "predictions" that nothing out of the ordinary would happen 100% right. As for Bigelow not having orbital hotels... well. that was just corporate bluster.

Sorry but my calendar says it is 2013.

Not sure of your point bringing up the past.....

In this instance, the past turned out to be just normal, also suggesting the future will track along normal too.

I certainly appreciate your summation. Regardless of whether the simple analysis you provide is what others would have done as DJW01 has pointed out, I do that you for providing a last look at 2012.

There were many passionate supporters of 2012 such as Human_Alien that wonder why old stuff has to be dredged up. The answer is that we can learn from mistakes. Most of 2012 was a mistake. People fell for outlandish and wacko ideas. Supporters were loud then and quiet now.

If people can learn why these predictions were outlandish and stood zero chance of being correct, then they might not fall for such claims in the future.

The prediction last for 6 years? I didn't know when it started. Thanks for sharing.

One of the interesting things I learned about looking into 2012 was that a significant number of people will NOT believe something if it comes from a source that they deem to be an authority. It can be a n individual or an organization. They choice to take a contrary position.

Example:
1. NASA says a new and large comet has been discovered.
2. NASA is identified as an authority.
3. The contrary position is that NASA is not telling the whole story on the comet.
4. Someone identifies the comet as a danger
5. The contrary position is that the person claiming danger is not an authority must be truthful
6. The person latches onto the danger story
7. NASA posts a trajectory showing the comet never comes close to the Earth
8. That someone who claimed danger simply says NASA is lying
9. The contrary position is to reject the NASA trajectory since NASA is identified as an authority

Although the comet does follow the posted trajectory, although that trajectory predicted the path of the comet accurately, although NASA's predictions have a long history of accuracy, NASA is not believed by those ascribing to the contrary position.

The rejection based on being labeled or identified as an authority is not rare. It happened all through the 2012 threads. It is a situation to recognize. In future debates it is important for those presenting factual and relevant material to understand that some posters will reject that material simply because it comes from a responsible and trusted source. These same posters will accept without hesitation ideas from untrustable sources that are often 100% wrong.
