what name can be given to the era in which we live?

[Hijiri Byakuren]

It's a Warhammer 40k reference.  The "Dark Age" was actually one of unparalleled technological mastery and personal freedom that the current despotic regime paints as horrible.  Its name is intentionally ironic.

I know it's a 40k reference, I've made many myself, it just seemed a little out of place. :P

I also meant it as a tongue-in-cheek assertion that we're at the pre-catastrophe stage on the 40k timeline.

Kardashian Era.
Caitlyn Jenner Era.
The Era of Cait.
Transjenner Era.

People in general pay more attention to the Kardashians than they pay attention to what's going on around the world. Mainstream media won't STFU about this infotainment crap when big stuff is happening around the world. Why waste people's time with real news when you can let them know how Caitlyn Kardashian's week went? That's what we really want to know, right? Kardashian Era sounds about right.

I remember one deep thinker type in college who said, "If you really want to know what's happening in America, read Dear Abby and Teen Forum."  It's starting to make sense to me now.

I call this age "the calm before the storm."
