New Category: 1848+
I have added several new categories: The Axial Age, Science & Religion, New Age, and 1848+ (??).
The latter category springs from wish to extend discussion to formally off topic issues. But nothing is off topic in the context of the eonic effect. That is a nice thing about the way the eonic model difines history/evolution to overlap. Everything is relevant, even the latest headlines. But the year 1848 and its aftermath is given a symbolic meaning in World History and The Eonic Effect: it is the point at which (to within a half-century) the eonic sequence comes to an end. Check out 1848: End of Eonic Sequence?,
Anyway, this category will allow bringing in everything from paper airplanes launched against Washington to the evolution of culture/politics since the nineteenth century.
