Hi, Jared. Are you familiar with Generational Theory by Strauss and Howe? I've found it very helpful as a framework to understand the times we're living through.
Every 80 years, going back 500+ years the West/US faces a major crisis period of many years.
Today--->the great depression through WW2---->American Civil War----->American Revolution---->the glorious revolution----->Armada crisis------>War of the Roses
There are no guarantees the pattern holds, but this framework allows me to realize 1) things could be challenging for a while and also 2) things will almost certainly, eventually change/improve
Hi Bodhi, I'm familiar with the general concept you're describing -- but never knew its proper source & larger framework. Thanks for passing this along for me and any other interested readers!
