If you could give a title to the contemporary world (read: post WW II), what would it be?

I would name it:

>Of slaves and whores: the death of dignity
>>
I would name it simply, The 2010s.
>>
The last days
>>
>>1351011
fair enough but I was thinking more of something that could give a sense of this era to future generations who didn't know it.

For instance, if someone told you yeah there was this era called "the 1350s" you wouldn't get the same feel as "the dark ages"
>>
>>1351016
fair enough.

According to some hindu astrologist, the current era, the Kali Yuga, ends around 2025.

This period could very well be the end of history as we know it.

The reign of quantity
>>
>>1351072
haven't read that but it reminds of the qualitative man as opposed to the quantitative man theory.

René Guénon is high tier, too. He's the symbol of the time where free masonry hadn't been corrupted, to me.

Care to sum it up for us?

Globalization & IT era, rather like how automobiles and electricity defined the 20s, though the 20s ended up being called the roaring 20s, I can't predict what slang word will be used to describe this era.

Future unbiased historians will view the now as a time when the world became much more connected, both through trade and communication due to IT. They will probably view it as starting after the collapse of the soviet union, culminating in the growth of emerging markets, notably though not limited to China, and ending probably 10 to 20 years from now after other countries are sufficiently developed, unless some major event happens before then.

One meme might be that it backfired on the developed world which suffered due to competition, immigration and terrorism and this caused the rise of UKIP (and trump, but I don't think he will become president), however this is probably more due to economies developing as far as they can given the technology available, following Japan's growth trends. Arguably trade has postponed this decline and the housing bubble was unrelated to globalization.

Damn Muslims are going to rule the planet because of stupid people who convert, and even dumber people who welcome then with open arms in the name of tolerance.

An era of glass. Beautiful and shining, but so sharp it cuts anything it touches apart.

Sure. I'll give you a synopsis.

Guenon analyses the claims, made by different religions, as well as social and political writers of his day, that the world is coming to an end. He concludes that they are generally correct, but they have no clear metaphysical basis as to why this is so. He then proposes a general theory of how that works, starting with general metaphysical premises and developing it's physical and socio-political consequences.

Reign is one of his two "political" books, the other being The Crisis of the Modern World.
