The point of doomsday theories is not to annoy people, it is
only one potential result.
If there is a point to them, it is more esoteric. It is perhaps
to examine the potential of current events to end in catastrophic
results. It is to analyze current trends and extrapolate
eventualities. It is to think upon the future and ask, "What
if?".
The suggestion would be that if this annoys you, avoid it. If
you fail to avoid it and still claim it annoys you, perhaps you
should examine your motivation for not avoiding it.
