A look at the fear of growing up in a doomsday cult and believing that, any day now, the world may end.
In part two of our Apocalypse Maybe series, End of Fear, people raised with a belief in an impending apocalypse look back on their upbringing, and find some parallels in today’s increasingly unstable world.
Acclaimed author and professor Jerald Walker shares the story told in his 2016 autobiography, The World in Flames: A Black Boyhood in a White Supremacist Doomsday Cult, while writer and PR professional Fleur Brown connects past fears with the current day.
Some threads of apocalyptic beliefs are then unpicked with academic insight by James Tabor, retired professor of Christian origins and ancient Judaism at the University of North Carolina. He reassures viewers that such prophecies, past and present, have a 100 percent failure rate.
Apocalypse Maybe is a documentary series exploring why, in the presence of cascading global crises, many feel that we might be living in the end times.
World-changing breakthroughs are being debuted and displayed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as companies harness recent, vast breakthroughs in artificial intelligence to bring the future to today’s market.
These on-display innovations at the four-day demo span from big, even life-altering game-changers to smaller must-haves for the home.
The range features new types of electric vehicles for both ground and air travel, a revolutionary form of free television and immersive screen use, user-friendly biotechnology that pairs with smart devices and much more.
There’s even a super toilet that’s a flush above the rest.
Here’s what to keep an eye out for from CES 2024.
A free — yes, free — 55-inch, 4K TV with permanent ads on a second screen
The company Telly has a free, high-tech TV that makes money by running full-time ads on a second screen.
We might be looking at the future of consumerism here.
A 55-inch television with 4K picture compatibility and a built-in soundbar can easily run upwards of around $1,000. But the company Telly is dishing them out completely for free in exchange for allowing a de facto billboard in your home and electronically sharing viewing habits with the company.
Advertisers cover the entire cost of Telly’s state-of-the-art device — which has a ChatGPT-infused vocal assistant — in exchange for having a perpetual flow of commercial spots on a second screen. It’s situated beneath the huge TV’s soundbar.
Sign up on Telly’s website and answer some consumer demographic questions to have your own.
Honda’s super electric vehicles
Honda is preparing a fleet of electronic vehicles like the Saloon.
The Japanese carmaker is revving up a new fleet of electric vehicles that are slated to take the streets in 2026.
Called Honda Zero, these slender and sleek-looking automobiles aim to break a streak of clunky-style EVs that have dominated the market lately.
Honda’s “flagship” sedan-style EV, the Saloon — which looks a little like Lamborghini meets “Tron” — is the first expected in North America. The company boasts it has “a low and wide exterior coupled with a surprisingly spacious interior.”
An anti-snore pillow
A pillow designed to prevent snoring is coming to market.
Don’t sleep on this one. The DeRUCCI Group has unveiled a pillow that, according to trial data, has capabilities to alienate snoring by 89%, the company announced.
Aptly called the Anti-Snore Pillow, the all-in-one, app-paired device can adjust a user’s head position so that they and their partner — couples are taking separate beds in flocks for reasons like this — can sleep a little sounder.
It targets sleep apnea as well.
A 100-inch laptop that fits in a backpack
A new augmented reality laptop creates a virtual screen of 100 inches.
It’s giving major Tony Stark vibes.
The tech company Sightful harnessed the power of augmented reality to create a first-of-its-kind, 100-inch laptop for which users only need to carry a minuscule amount of hardware.
Called Spacetop, the device relies on a pair of AR glasses a user wears to see a vast array of virtual screens and common programs — including ChatGPT and various Google programs — that they interact with only through a tangible keyboard that has a built-in webcam and five hours of battery power.
It can be yours for $2,150.
A mouse … for your tongue
There is now a wearable mouse that fits in a person’s mouth and is controlled by their tongue.
Techies are salivating over this.
The company Augmental has designed a smart mouse that goes inside a user’s mouth and is toggled by a person’s tongue.
Aptly called “MouthPad^,” the “pressure sensitive” bio-device “detects every movement and gesture of your tongue in real-time to support standard cursor control and clicks.”
The company suggests that it is especially useful for individuals with spinal cord injuries.
The drooler’s delight, which is still in an early access sales mode, can be harnessed right out of the box, according to Augmental.
A transparent TV
LG has unveiled a groundbreaking, see-through TV.
Competitors are seeing ghosts.
LG just unveiled what they call the world’s first wireless, transparent TV that runs on organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology.
In other words, it’s 77 inches of 4K quality movies and shows when you want with a see-through panel that doesn’t obstruct home furnishings when turned off. Samsung debuted a similar style of futuristic screening at CES as well.
A smart mirror that knows if you’re sick
A specialized smart mirror is designed to view facial patterns to determine sickness.
It’s bound to have people reflecting on their health.
The company Nuralogix unveiled a 21-inch, tabletop smart mirror that can analyze facial blood flow as a way to accurately calculate a user’s vital signs, as well as “disease risk assessments.”
The oversized iPad-looking device is powered by Nuralogix’s cloud-based AI DeepAffex.
The future of flying
Hyundai is backing the S-A2 eVTOL for its promising future in flight.
The next major step for aviation — and the potential for flying taxis — is the rollout of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vessels, and a Hyundai-backed company just took their bird out of the hangar.
Meet Supernal’s SA-2 eVTOL which fits four in a luxury-focused cabin, plus a pilot, and reaches speeds of 120 miles per hour and a cruising altitude of 1,500 feet.
Testing begins for the SAA-2 next year, and the current goal is to have it ready for a 2028 takeoff.
A “Star Wars”-esque home aid droid
Samsung has a new home-helper droid that is like something out of “Star Wars.”
Here’s the latest robo-pet that can take a byte out of household chores.
The astrodroid-esque device can also send video updates to owners regarding circumstances like checking up on pets or people inside of their homes.
Ballie also can answer phone calls, play music and project videos onto screens, walls and floors.
A Blackberry-style keyboard — for iPhones
A company is making tangible iPhone keyboards that sell for more than $100.
IPhone users are becoming the very thing they swore off in the early 2010s now.
A company called Clicks has rolled out an iPhone case that doubles as a hard-button keyboard and gives the Apple device a striking resemblance to the hallmark of once-competitor Blackberry.
Kohler has let rip a $2,149 bidet that pairs with smart devices like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home so users might enjoy a hands-free experience on the potty while commanding their water flow.
Kohler has made a bidet that can be paired with smart devices for hands-free access.
The PureWash E930 also has plenty of other bells and whistles like an ultraviolet automatic cleaner and a heated seat mode.
Christopher Nolan’s epic about the atomic bomb had eight nominations compared with nine for the box office blockbuster Barbie.
Oppenheimer, one of the biggest box office hits of 2023, has won multiple Golden Globes, as Hollywood kicked off its annual awards season.
Irish actor Cillian Murphy took home best male actor for his portrayal of scientist J Robert Oppenheimer in the film about the development of the atomic bomb.
The film was named best drama, Christopher Nolan the best director and Robert Downey Jr the best male supporting actor.
“I was in the hands of a visionary director, a master,” Murphy said as he accepted the Golden Globe on Sunday night.

Indigenous actor Lily Gladstone, a firm favourite, won best actress in a drama film for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
The gothic comedy-drama Poor Things, from celebrated Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, was named best film comedy or musical, and its star, Emma Stone, best actress in a film comedy or musical.
The Globes ceremony marks the start of Hollywood’s annual awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on March 10. Overhauled after a diversity and ethics scandal in 2021, the Globes recognise the best in film and television and brought the stars together for the first time after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023.
In television, the drama series Succession was named best television drama and took the top acting awards for its final season about the high-stakes battle for control of a global media empire. Kieran Culkin, who played the wayward son Roman Roy, landed the award for best actor, while Australian Sarah Snook won best actress. British actor Matthew Macfadyen took home best supporting actor for his role as her fictional husband, Tom Wambsgans.

Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, meanwhile, were recognised for their leading roles in the television comedy The Bear, while road-rage saga Beef picked up best actor and actress limited series awards for Ali Wong and Steven Yeun.
Several Hollywood legends, from Meryl Streep to Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, all Globe nominees vying for Oscars this year, were among those on the red carpet for the revamped awards.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift was also at the ceremony where she was nominated for best song.
That award went to Billie Eilish for What Was I Made For? which she wrote for Barbie.
The satire on misogyny and female empowerment made more than $1bn in ticket sales and was nominated for nine awards including best comedy and best director for Greta Gerwig.

It went home with the newly created trophy for box office achievement.
Among the other winners were the French courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall, which won best screenplay and best film not in English, and The Boy and the Heron, which won best animated film for Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki.

Because of the popularity of smartphones and tablets, as well as the growth of television channels, computer games, and educational applications, children and teenagers are spending more amount of time gazing at screens, sometimes with poor posture, which can lead to back pain and other issues.
A study by Brazilian researchers, funded by FAPESP and reported in an article published in the scientific journal Healthcare, identified several risk factors for spinal health, such as looking at screens for more than three hours a day, proximity of the eyes to the screen, and sitting or lying on the stomach.
The study focused on thoracic spine pain (TSP). The thoracic spine is located at the back of the chest (the thorax), mostly between the shoulder blades, extending from the bottom of the neck to the start of the lumbar spine. The data analysed came from surveys of 14- to 18-year-old male and female students in the first and second years of high school in Bauru, a medium-sized city in Sao Paulo state.
A baseline questionnaire was completed in March-June 2017 by 1,628 participants, of whom 1,393 completed a follow-up questionnaire in 2018. The analysis showed a one-year prevalence of 38.4 percent (the proportion reporting TSP in both the baseline and follow-up surveys) and a one-year incidence of 10.1 percent (new TSP reported only in the follow-up survey). More girls than boys reported TSP.
Risk factors
TSP is common in different age groups of the general population worldwide, with prevalence ranging from 15 percent-35 percent in adults and 13 percent-35 percent in children and adolescents. Explosive growth in the use of electronic devices during the COVID-19 pandemic clearly made the problem worse. The risk factors associated with TSP are physical, physiological, psychological and behavioral, according to several investigations. There is also strong evidence of the effects of physical activity, sedentary habits and mental disorders on spinal health. All these factors are considered critical by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its latest global review of evidence and guidelines.
“The study can be used to inform health education programs for school students, teachers, staff and parents,” said Alberto de Vitta, first author of the article. He has a PhD in education from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in public health at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) in Botucatu.
“This is in line with some of the objectives of the National Curriculum Parameters [PCN, Brazilian government guidelines for secondary schools], according to which schools are responsible for health education, including identification of risks to individual and collective health and interventions to combat them, as well as promotion of self-care habits with regard to the body’s possibilities and limits,” said Vitta, who is currently teaching and researching at Eduvale College as a faculty member in its Department of Physical Therapy in Avare, Sao Paulo state, and the University of Sapucai Valley’s Graduate Program in Education, Knowledge and Society in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais state.
Information on risk factors for TSP in high school students is important because children and adolescents with back pain are more inactive, achieve less academically and have more psychosocial problems, according to the article. In addition, fewer studies have been conducted on TSP than on lower back and neck pain. A systematic review of the literature on TSP found only two prospective studies regarding prognostic factors.

California-based actor Ray Buffer has been charged with misdemeanor theft after a comic book store accused him of stealing from their San Diego business back in October.
Buffer, who appeared in shows like “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “ER,” was charged by the San Diego City Attorney’s Office with petty theft, pleading not guilty to the charge in January, a spokesperson for the office told The Post Wednesday.
The spokesperson also confirmed the charge was connected to an incident that occurred on Oct. 4, 2022, at Southern California Comics, which very publicly accused Buffer at the time of stealing hundreds of dollars worth of comics.
A readiness conference in San Diego Superior Court is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28, the city attorney’s office said. The city officials did not provide the date when charges were filed, but a case involving Buffer was filed on Dec. 13, 2022, according to online records.
The comic book store blasted out surveillance footage of the alleged theft days after the incident, which shows a man inside the business who appears to conceal the comics under his shirt.

Southern California Comics owner Jamie Newbold told The Post Wednesday he didn’t know Buffer was charged until he received a call from an attorney with the city this week. He said he was pleased the case was moving forward.
“I thought this case got swept under or out of the way,” Newbold said. “Now I realize the case matters, therefore what I’ve had to go through matters.”
“I was losing hope every month I didn’t hear anything from anyone,” he said, after he contacted authorities two days following the October incident.
Newbold explained in an October interview he originally put images up of an unidentified man on social media to warn other comic book stores about the possible thief. Other businesses then claimed the man was Buffer.

Newbold wrote he was told by the San Diego City Attorney’s Office that Buffer’s lawyer is hoping to settle the case by allowing Buffer to enter a diversion program that would require the actor to pay restitution for the alleged theft.
“He gets off really light if the courts allow him to pay for the crime financially,” Newbold said. “I would prefer that he sees justice.”
Newbold estimates that about 10 comics were stolen worth around $850.
Further information on the case was not made available by the city attorney’s office and the office did not provide a defense attorney for Buffer Wednesday evening.
At least one other comic store claimed Buffer stole from them in September, though it’s unclear whether the accusations led to criminal activity.
Buffer had other minor roles in single episodes of “CSI: Miami,” “Gilmore Girls” and “Cold Case,” according to his IMDb page.
He’s also appeared in multiple movies, according to this profile.
A Missouri radio host went on an unhinged and sexist off-air tirade directed at his co-host — where he called her a bad mother and said he felt sorry for her kids.
Vic Faust, who is a Fox 2 news anchor in St. Louis, ripped into co-host Crystal Cooper during an expletive-filled rant over her appearance and intellect, according to audio obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The comments were reportedly made during a commercial break on Sept. 13 on KFNS, a hard-rock station.
“Your kids have a (expletive) terrible mom. I feel sorry for them,” Faust said.
A shocked Cooper could only reply “wow, wow.”
Faust also angrily told Cooper “you’re nothing” and “you’re trash” while also calling her fat, stupid and nasty, the St. Louis newspaper reported.
He said, “You’re a (expletive) mom, you don’t even know the topics we’re talking about. You’re just stupid.”
Crystal Cooper was also called “trash” and “fat” by her co-host Vic Faust during the radio show.The Edge/YouTube
The crude verbal abuse apparently stems from Cooper poking fun at Faust over his problems with his computer while the pair were on-air, according to the newspaper.
Off-air, Faust warned Cooper not to return to the show.
“If you come back, I’m going to be in your (expletive) every (expletive) day,” he said.
Cooper defended herself throughout the ugly incident, telling Faust to “grow up” repeatedly.

Faust confirmed the off-air remarks to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He also claimed there was “background” to the incident, but did not explain further.
The newspaper said it received the damning audio clip Friday anonymously.
Cooper apparently left the show the same day the endless insults were hurled at her, according to the Post-Dispatch.
As for Faust, it appears his duties at the radio station are on hold, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday while the leaders at the television station he works for have not commented on his job status.
He’s been with the television station for seven years, but was not on air Monday or Tuesday, the newspaper reported.
Ratings-challenged CNN will reshuffle the deck chairs on the slowly-sinking network, pushing out left-leaning primetime host Don Lemon from his plum solo slot to a newly-created morning team, boss Chris Licht announced Thursday.
Lemon’s long-anticipated demotion comes after Licht was tasked by new corporate overlord Warner Bros. Discovery to shift CNN away from opinion-based shows to more centrist reporting of the news.
Last month, the network canned Brian Stelter, the outspoken host of the now canceled “Reliable Sources.”
Lemon — who often espoused his liberal opinions on his 10 pm show “Don Lemon Tonight” — helmed the lowest-ranked program in primetime in August, averaging 660,000 viewers to finish a distant third to Fox and MSNBC.

A rep for CNN said the network will be making an announcement on who will replace Lemon in the next few weeks.
Insiders have earmarked Kasie Hunt as a possible replacement for Lemon, or for the 9 p.m. slot, which was left open when Chris Cuomo was fired last year over his role in advising his older brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in his sex harassment scandal.

In August, Fox News dominated with nine shows making the top 10 highest-rated cable news shows. Only MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow pulled out a fifth-place ranking with 2.7 million viewers, lagging behind Fox’s “The Five” (3.4 million), “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (3.3 million), “Hannity” (2.9 million) and “Jesse Watters Primetime” (2.9 million).
The only CNN show to crack the top 25 was “Anderson Cooper 360” — in 25th place with 950,000 viewers.
Meanwhile, “New Day,” came in 42nd place out of 82 cable news shows, bringing in 396,000 total viewers.
CNN did not provide a start date for the changes but said it will rename “New Day” and update its set later this year. Berman and Keilar will remain at the network, Licht said.

The exec is known for his previous success launching MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and revamping CBS’ morning show, which was then called “CBS This Morning.” Both shows brought about a lively conversation about current topics and news of the day with a broad selection of guests.
“There is no stronger combination of talent than Don, Poppy and Kaitlan to deliver on our promise of a game-changing morning news program,” Licht said Thursday. “They are each uniquely intelligent, reliable and compelling; together they have a rare and palpable chemistry. Combined with CNN’s resources and global newsgathering capabilities, we will offer a smart, bold and refreshing way to start the day.”
Harlow has most recently served as an anchor of “CNN Newsroom,” as well as a relief presenter at “New Day,” while Collins served as a White House correspondent for the network.
The longest-reigning monarch in British history, whose dedication to royal tradition and stiff upper lip in the face of family scandals endeared her to generations of Britons, died on September 8. She was 96.
The royal family announced her death from Balmoral Castle, her beloved summer residence in Scotland, where members of the royal family had rushed to her side after her health took a turn for the worse.
“’The Crown’ is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too,” Peter Morgan, writer of the popular Netflix show told Deadline.
Season 6 is slated for release in 2023. Meanwhile, Season 5 is set to premier on the streamer in November.

Producers for “The Crown” had been prepared for Operation London Bridge, the protocol that establishes what will happen from the moment of the queen’s death to when Prince Charles would be pronounced king.
“We have our own version of Operation London Bridge,” a series insider told The Post. “This is particularly pertinent for if we are filming. Filming will shut down immediately if we are in production, for at least a week. There would also be lots of discussion about when to restart.”
As for Duchess Kate Middleton, also 40, Meg Bellamy will portray her as a young woman.
The upcoming season will show Princess Diana, Prince Charles and the rest of “the Firm” as they deal with the issues that befall them in the 1990s, while Season 6 will move into modern times, chronicling the conflicts they encounter in the 21st century.
