I'm sure you're familiar with the term to coin the present the 'Anthropocene'. Rather than posit an alternative in 'pyrocene' -. I think 'Pyro-verse' has merit - it will certainly engage undergrads!!

Urai and Kelly are on to something in my humble opinion - with their communitarian focus.

thanks Patrick. I like pyrocene and not just because my writing mentor and occasional visitor to this substack coined it. But there's no reason we can't try on other metaphors like pyro-verse, you never know what will fit or look good (in the right lighting)

No worries! As I'm want to say, 'opinions are like backsides. Everyone has one, but some are better than others!'
