Pseudo Age

Here's slight synopsis of a combined practical/theoretical paper I'm writing...

"Living in a Pseudo World"
Historians tend to break down human history into various Eras termed as Ages. They have the various ancient Prehistory Ages (Stone, Iron, etc) and the more recent Eras (Enlightenment, Early Modern, Industrial, etc) along with everything in between. Though the term Contemporary Age is often used referring to the time in which we live now, I came up with my own cynically-centered term. I like to say we are currently living in the PSEUDO AGE. We are living at a time when people collectively have garnered and accumulated vast knowledge, but individually we accept the bogus as equal to the real. Our incredible advancements are scamming and fooling us into believing that everything and anything we currently decide upon has equal and valuable merit in the grand scheme of things. We lump our misses along with our successes and are not always able to differentiate between the two.
