  • The "modern" era - a silly name

    People have called themselves "modern" for millennia. Having an era called "modern" is silly, though it was even sillier in CTP - where the modern era was in the mid-game.

    I've got rid of the problem by renaming it to the Information age. Nice and simple.
    The difference between industrial society and information society:
    In an industrial society you take a shower when you have come home from work.
    In an information society you take a shower before leaving for work.

    They ought to divide it into the "Atomic Age" and the "Information Age". Makes more sense that way.
    "When we begin to regulate, there is naming,
    but when there has been naming
    we should also know when to stop.
    Only by knowing when to stop can we avoid danger." - Lao-zi, the "Dao-de-jing"
