A bit restless

I should be writing my essays which is due in 2 weeks. But my mind is restless because I cannot answer questions. (Excuses....)

Questions that doesn't concern the wealth of nations, but the wealth of humans.
My question is simple.
What is our epoch?

I struggle to find a definition for it. Maybe there's an article floating somewhere out there that attempts to answer this question.

But as creation itself is brought under trial, is there anything that cannot be questioned or achieved by us? And how should this madness be stopped? If ever it should be stopped.
Or is it more like America dropping the atomic bomb into Hiroshima, it's a new weapon, so we use it and then learn from that mistake, that happened with the gas attacks in world war I, so why not stop inventing and experimenting?

What about our moral ethics? After the Death of God, after the emergence of culture relativism, what governs our land, is it law, is it personal conscience?

How should society be organized? The rivalry with capitalism has failed because our greed and the invisible hands do contribute to the wealth of nations. But it is, afterall, the wealth of nations rather than the wealth of humans. Would freedom, prosperity, a lack of worry in society be the ultimate goal of a government? If so, why does so many people kill themselves in Scandinavia?

This is an age of non-rebellion, of timidness, of numbness (I'm writing this article, when there's a war being waged on another continent, but we keep on living our lives, read the news and do nothing about it.)

Our perhaps we are at a transitional period of a great pendulum, anticipating, waiting for the coming of a new age.

Our is this the final balance we have struck after thousand years of struggling?

Or maybe I am just moaning when there's no pain 無病呻吟是也
