Love learning about words and ideas like "interregnum". It's uncomfortable to think of a global societal interregnum -- at what point we may be in it, where it will end up, and if things will be "better" on the other side.
It's a good concept isn't it. I prefer it to talking about a "crisis"
of this or that - because the idea that a society or humankind might
"Just not know what's going on any more" is less loaded than a
"crisis" which implies some correct way of being that we deviated
from. But beware. There's a half-dozen varying accounts of what it
really means and when our journey into the wilderness started. By
Nietzsche's account it was the 1900s.

I’m confused by this because Nietzsche died in 1900. Was it a prophecy? Or did you mean the 1800s?
