Avoiding millennialist cognitive biases

On the internet there are a seemingly endless supply of millennialists. Up until a few years ago I would refer to them as "millennial doomsters", although now I usually either just call them "doomsters", or use the new and fashionable term "collapsitarians".

James Hughes offers some advice on how to sensibly navigate the outrageous claims made by various religious and secular groups. As always it's important to think critically, and also to consider the possibility that at least some of your most cherished assumptions will turn out to be incorrect.
