Why not state that we live in the Capitalist Age, which is THE mega-Unraveling? Of course, then we have the question when it started; I'd say, with the American and French revolutions.

America hasn't been capitalist since FDR so we're not living in a capitalist age.  Also to start an unraveling sequence at the beginning of the Modern Mega-Saeculum would require there to be an even larger civilization cycle for which there is very little evidence given that the sands of time have blasted much of that evidence away.

One of the reasons why I'm reluctant to go beyond the Mega-Saeculum as I have defined it or Micro-Turnings as they have been defined by others.

Simply put attempting to postulate cycles, which may or may not exist, that are smaller or larger run into problems due to the Uncertainty Principle.
