Today's topic of discussion: PO-MO.
Post-Modernism. 


Through-out the course of history, there have been many different eras. Romantic era, the Crusades, the Renaissance... The last known era is the era known as "Modernist."


BUT....


We have now exited this era, and entered a new one... We have yet to learn what this new era brings, or what it is even called, for that matter, but for now, we have dubbed this ear "Post-Modernist" era, or "PO-MO" for short. How do we know we have left the last era?


We have made discoveries that challenge everything that the last era stood for; the last era was all about science, and the ideology that science would answer all of our questions. 


Recently, a bunch of discoveries were made, one of which found particles that could travel at the speed of light. This contradicted so many of the "Modernist Era" theories, that it was considered the end of an era, and the start of a new one.


This may seem like a good thing; however, the past will always come back to haunt us. With this new ear ahead, we know not what to expect. Will it be the long-awaited "Golden" era where our world's meta-narrative  is answered, or will it be the era in which we all make horrible mistakes and our world comes to its pre-destined end?


I think that this PO-MO era is not what initially seems... I think it will be an era where the conflicting opinions of all the people will finally collide, and create a huge, unwanted "Big Bang."

Does this ring a bell?


It should, because this is exactly what our world looks like right now. And we can change it: if we work hard enough.
