What Matters Most

'Philosophy bears upon what matters most', says W. with great urgency, remembering Plotinus. 'What matters most to you?', asks W. 'Your dinner? Alcohol? Chav mags?'

What matters most, W. muses, are the coming End Times. The ecological disaster and the financial disaster. – 'They're nearly upon us', he says. 'Are you ready for the End Times?' Is he? Least of all him, W. says. Least of all us. 

We'll be the first to go under, W. says. The very first. He'll welcome it, says W., as judgement for our miserable lives and the immensity of our failure.
