What “Age” are we living in? What will it be called historically?

We had the Renaissance, Victorian era, Industrial Revolution etc etc.

What do you think this epoch will be known as?

You can be serious or jokey, it’s all good!

Elizabethan!

The age of oil and plastic wastage.

Iirc it’s the age of the train.

The Age of Selfishness

The Good Old Days

Pre-FTL.

Anthropocene is the current epoch. aka the Holocene Extinction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

It won’t be called anything. You assume that there will be someone to write the history.

I thought it had been named, information age/digital age?

I’ve always thought we’ll be seen as the most wasteful most polluting period in human history, at least I hope it improves in future! At least this year maybe less polluting might set a trend so perhaps the Environmental Revolution over next couple of decades. Wishful thinking?

The age of the selfish W*****r.

For multiple reasons.

Pornhubiferous

The whole world? Or just this forum?

Middle Age.

The Age of Clubcard Points

information age/digital age?

I think the Information Age has been and gone. I think our current moment is defined more by miss information.

The age of waste

The age of endless greed…

4th Industral Revolution

The age of Muppets

I’m with fooman – age of the Environment.

Populist age.

Er. You do realise that the industrial revolution led to industries which were far more polluting than we are now. Added to infrastructure problems which led to issues like sewage being dumped raw into the streets and rivers & I think you are displaying a lack of appreciation of the world we have now.

The age of endless topics on the C virus obvs

By the end of this year, more than half of all industrial emissions of carbon dioxide since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution will have been released since 1988 — the year it became widely known that these emissions are warming the climate.

Global Warming Fact: More than Half of All Industrial CO2 Pollution Has Been Emitted Since 1988

The age of the Partially Educated Know-it-all Reactionary Narcissistic Two Faced Liars.

The Me Me Me Age

The contemporary age

Trumpnarcissism age

The Electric Age.

In much the same way the Stone and Iron Age were how those resources influenced the ‘growth’ of humankind.

Imagine your life without electricity. Sobering thought eh?

The whole world? Or just this forum?

Middle Age.

Heresy – burn him.

The age of flounce

The Entitled Age.

Unchecked capitalism.

I think in a few hundred years we’ll look back and realise how crazy it was to just believe the lies propagated that the markets work for everyone’s best interests.

Apologies in advance…

I have no idea what this time will be known as when it is finally officially named, however, once it is, I’m pretty certain it will go viral

Unchecked capitalism.

I find the off thing is that despite we’ve lived quite happily and obliviously in a capatilist framework for years, the observational attempts to gain capatislist advantage – e.g. Sports Direct, £150 Hand Sanitiser on Amazon – are disgusting to many people, and the fit healthy and well minded types are wondering where all this government money is suddenly coming from.

The Last Age of the Humans.

That’s what the robots will call it anyway.

To be fair you can’t spend the money twice.

The age of many wheel sizes
