what age are we in? what is man's responsibility?

I think that through-out human existence man has always been trying to make progress.  Man always needs purpose.  Progress in one's life is a form of purpose.  Purpose then drives us to make this progress.  First man progressed in social order with the use of religion and government to organize people into collective communities working together to stay alive.  Next the progress in the sciences explained things about religion and about our universe and then brought government to power and also brought ideas of using technology to do basically anything.  The social era brought about the technology because once an era has progressed as far as it can go something must takes its place.  Logic over the spiritual in that case and now maturity over logic.  We can no longer progress with thoughts of money, sex, more, more, more, and more for myself.  We must come together as humans and be mature, open, and honest about our future now that we have the cognitive sense and confidence to do so.  We have the record of our history with which we can predict how our actions affect the world and each other. The era we are in is the end of the technology era and eventually we will move into a refining era where we must come together and be proud together to be so blessed with what we are and stop taking it for granted and start giving it back to our universe.  If not I fear that corruption and suffering will continue forever in many parts of the world.  who can people be satisfied with that.  Doesn't it hurt to see a fellow human suffer for a reason that they don't even understand.  So man's next responsibility is to be mature and use our hearts to make the world I would call "better". There will be sacrifice but that sacrifice should bring a proud sense that what you are doing is help someone less fortunate than you.  The Wesch video showed how that one community tried to fix the relationship instead using law to bring order.  This idea is very mature because those people recognize that people are imperfect and quite different and so the allow the world to work  well relationships which is what connects us all must be maintained.  And due to our differences, laws are not flexible enough to bring TRUE social order.  This is one way a group of people have come together in a mature way and thus thrive and progress in a peaceful way.  Its too bad more humans did not start out this way.  But now is a great time to  start.
