I’m one of the older gen Z’ers, I have boomer parents (jones era) and I’m the youngest in my immediate family with all Millennial siblings. I look at the world around me with all the crisis. All the problems on the rise (famine, economic collapse, world war, disease) yet everyone around me is bitching about their gender identity, it is very frustrating. Two things come to my mind: the adage “Hard times > Strong Men > Good Times > Weak Men” and listening to Joe Rogan making reference to a man (sorry I forgot his name) that tells a story about how when a civilisation is on the brink of collapsing everyone starts arguing about gender. As someone in my generation that is a part of the minority whom is aware of the bigger picture, I can not workout whether I would be better off to live in ignorance like my peers or count myself lucky that I am awake to all this madness.
One of the things the book did for me was to comfort me that there is no doomsday scenario. All this has happened before, and will eventually pass, as a new cycle begins. My role is to tune out the noise and focus on being the best version of myself, operating intelligently in the phase of the cycle we are in. I hope that helps!
@@samsara3694 I think a lot of us fall foul of this, I often need to take a break from it to find myself again and just enjoy the simple things in life..... easier said than done but must be done to maintain one's sanity
@@triariusproject4898 see that’s definitely my mindset! I’m a long progress in work. I still need to keep to a regular workout regime and I still need to change my diet (I eat majority carbs and sugary food, it sucks, I’m trying to get on just chicken and rice because it’s easy, tasty and cheap and I don’t need a balanced diet because) I take a green juice everyday that contains every vit and min (and some other stuff) a body needs to sustain itself, I save and invest my money rather than waste it on stuff I don’t need, I’ve quit smoking weed and tobacco, I don’t take any other drugs and haven’t for years except the coffee I drink when I’m in work. I live relatively stress free, my job allows me 3 days off a week and pays well, it’s also physical and I ride my bike to and from so I am active in that regard. Not to give you my whole life story but I’m making an effort and although I’m not exactly where I want to be, I have made massive positive changes in comparison to 5 years ago when I wanted to change, it’s just a long process for me. I also research the hell out of everything from finance to neurochemistry to world events and anything else that seems beneficial to know. And so if I can survive the fourth turning I know I stand a good chance to have a great life as things will get better just like the economy after WW2 and the baby boomer gen. 😊 TL;DR I’m doing everything I can to improve all essential areas in my live, but gradually. I look forward to live if I survive to the first turning.
@@samsara3694 well actually for the first time in a long time, I have not had depression or anxiety. I can look at and talk with people in public, I don’t avoid people and I defend myself if someone tries to put me down. I have energy again like when I was a kid and I don’t spend every moment worrying about things that may or may not happen, I feel free for the first time since about 15 (when I got deeply depressed, riddled with anxiety, avoided everyone and everything even family) I’m now 24 and doing great. The craziest part is there’s no one thing I can think of that pulled me out of depression and it was probably months after I stopped being depressed that I noticed. I do stay aware of all the shit happening in the world but it doesn’t get me, especially like it used to, I just like to be aware of the things around me while keeping myself in a state of improvement.
There is another, more recent, book along the same lines. It's Called: End Times by Peter Turchin. It's an inadequate title, but acknowledge the cyclic nature of civilisation. The main reasons for the fall of civilisation is the "immiseration" of the general population and the "overproduction of elites"!
@@nulwalker8665 I've read most of End Times. It's a well-researched book going back over many. There are some important ideas which one can facter into ones thinking. However, has Mark Twain once wrote, "history doesn't repeat but it rhymes". The problem is, as always, the Arrogants, Greed and Stupidity of the elite. But for us "mere mortals" the most one can say is s*** happens!
32:00 ish, what do you mean by the "Reagan economic snowball"? US Bureau of Labor Statistics show Consumer Price Index taking off in a steep climb, never to return AND The US Census Bureau showing the relative income of the top 10% starting a similar steep rise above the rest also never to return and BOTH started with the presidency of Ronald Reagan. If it is a "snowball" it's the kind that rolls downhill and knocks evryone over. And rich toffs at the top who started it rolling.
In a few years when the boomers die off, Gen X will be the last generation desperately grasping on to the last bit of normalcy. We need help. We need based millennials and Gen Z to help save the world. Literally
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. Great overview. I can definitely see that 2019 was probably the confirmation end of the unravelling era and we’ve now migrated into the crisis but not at the peak yet It was definite not the Covid 19 crisis, that was just the ramp up into something full blown. The mood that nothing established previously is strong enough to hold societal orders together, domestic or global, shows we’re gearing up for a real winter to bring in a new paradigm.
The frightening thing here is that the authors contend that no Crisis Turning in the Anglo-American cycles have ever occurred without total war, and they write that with each successive crisis, technological advances have ratcheted up the intensity of those wars. Let's hope this crisis doesn't continue that trajectory. Thanks for viewing my work, and for sharing your thoughts!
@@3604Monkeyuface Well yes and no. I agree that the end will come around 2030, give or take a few years. I'd expand the window to 2027-2033. But understand that I think the biggest, most holy shit moments are yet to come. So in one sense the turn isn't too far away, but in another sense there's a lot between here and there
That is a great review, very well put together. It is even more relevant now than when it was first produced 2 years ago. Mate, thanks for making the time and effort to get this invaluable educational tool out there.
As a millennial, we desperately want community, solidarity, a robust welfare state that takes care of people, an end to the endless wars, a rejection of the narcissism and self-worship of Boomers and Xers, and an economic order based around creating a high quality of life for the many instead of profits and opulence for the few. We will get this one way or the other, even if it means a turn toward authoritarianism.
Apparently, there are Millennials who don't know GenX. It is said that genx is so small because 1/3 were never born because roe-v-wade (1973) made abortion so fashionable. We GenX came home from school to an empty house because our boomer parents were funding their divorces, and on weekends we weren't allowed in the house so we ran around like feral packs on our bikes raising ourselves. We spent our 20's working 60-70 hours a week, but were still dirt poor because of ungodly student loans and a job market that hasn't improved since. At this point we're 50 years old and the torch has been passed over our heads, and as far as we're concerned, another generation can have it. For god's sake, don't lump genx in with boomers. The fourth turning is correct in that boomers and millennials are dominant, and genx and genz are recessive. I'm 50/50 on whether millennials are up to the challenge. I hope you are because many gen alpha have ipads in their cribs, and a generation struggling with internet addiction before they can talk seems like really bad news.
Maybe because I was raised by my great grandmother, I am an outsider as a millennial, '87, but I feel our participation in this play is something that can throw a wrench in this. I think many of us are trying to just get outside of it instead of indulging the preferred, do as your told programming. the gold can stay, things do not have to fall apart to be better, they just want you to accept that so they, the control group can keep pushing and pulling us along. If we are heroes I hope we'll be the only ones that don't participate. It is literally insane to repeat.
Also, my parents were as good as hippies, drug addicts and drunks, raised by world War 2 generation. Trauma as children stunts our development to rise above and keeps us as animals.
I'm Gen X (xennial), raising my millennial daughter the old school way. Teaching her everything I know. She is strong, capable, courageous, resilient and resourceful, like me.
I think,not only can this teach us whatay be coming as a society, but can also teach us world views of different generations therefore helping us navigate interactions with them.
OK. Kudos for a well presented synopsis of the generations. I am the oldest Gen Xer. I have seen both worlds (wwii parents), older boomer siblings and everything from Reagan Strategic Defense Iniative to the ozone depletion to Covid. Now, a few things ... 1) Kudos to the authors for showing the cyclical nature of history, not the linear nature of history. Their book, though, is a history book. To treat it as a science text or a text from God would be illogical (as Spock would say). So, let's move away from the set-in-stone mentality. 2) Gen Xers were first hit by Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan and their neoliberalism. We saw what the wwii had, what the boomers enjoyed and who picking up the tab. 3) Let's not over complicate things. The wwii generation were exceptionally fiscally conservative. They passed a flourishing country to the silent generation and boomers which then fiscally raped Lady liberty. It's that simple. They were handed a CASH COW and took advantage. 4) Now, they only have argumentative fallacies and gaslighting left to keep "their" system unchanged. But, Gen Xers are too wise for the gaslighting. A few closing remarks ... Climate change and the opioid genocide will be their undoing. Also, and this is important, America is moving towards humanism in place of religion. This is what will bring the country to a boil. Atheists, Agnostics, Deists, and Pantheists out number the theists. THIS is the new order. You add the philosphers (i.e., Humanists) into the fray, and you have your 4th Turning.
Great points. Anglos have turned to humanism but that’s about it. The rest of humanity has retained their ethnic and religious identity largely as a means of survival. Anglos have lots of institutional power, and for at least the next few years are the numerical majority in America and Europe, but this will change within the next 2 decades. How can the future be “humanist” if all the secular humanists…who are largely made up of anglos, are dead, or were never born because anglos stopped having children?
@JB-qt3wo Start here .... 1) Definitions. Define Humanism. Then we can talk about humanism. We all agree that water freezes at zero and boils at 100. We have to agree on the terms: Liberal, Conservative, and Humanism. Hell... even Chriatians can't agree on Christianity. 2) "Earth belongs to the living, not to the dead." I have a secret weapon ... society no longer has a choice. Younger generations are inheriting 5000 nuclear warheads, the world's foremost biological and chemical weaponry, laser satellites able to destroy small cities. And... that's just America. Same is true in England, France, Russia, China and Israel. 3) "We need to learn how to think in a new way." Humanism is a thought process, regardless of how any other humanist group defines it. Humanism is rooted in Stoicism. The fate of all life on planet Earth depends on Humanism. That's why we are inevitable.
@@michaelfelli7661 Humanism can be partly traced to stoicism, it was also heavily influenced by Platonic ideas, and of course the Scholasticism of St. Thomas Aquinas and later the enlightenment. I suppose you could even trace it back to ancient Egypt, as Plato borrowed much from them. We have largely assimilated humanistic ideals into Western culture, but we have to remember we make up about 10% of the global population. There is a lot of work left to be done, and it is going to be a bumpy road as we are entering a new phase of conflict. One where the homogenized mass of European identity must merge together with different groups such as Indians, Africans, Etc. Remember that Europeans were only successfully homogenized in America post WWII. Before that, the lines dividing the different European identities within America were much more distinct. However, the spirit of humanism is alive and well, and it must be tempered by some sort of moralism in order to reign in the animalistic impulses of mankind. I believe that is the future for America envisioned by people like Peter Thiel, a sort of colorblind meritocracy that is guided by platonic morality and humanism….how much teeth there is to that i’m not quite sure. We seem to be on a very degenerative path. Humanity needs humanism, but it also needs law and order, and it needs strong effective leadership. Difficult to thread that needle when most people tend to resent authority.
Fantastic, i've been wanting to review our discussion for some time. I feel the The awakening may be also related to the summertime season, or perhaps maybe spring, where the "snowflakes" melt 😉
Yes, Neil says (in the videos linked in the description below) that the transitional periods aren't set in stone, and are influenced by lots of complex factors, so they may last longer or shorter than is typical. Also there are plenty of exceptions to the archetypal individual- e.g not all nomads experienced lapsed or absent parenting; and not all prophets were either spoiled as kids or grew up to be non conformist hippies - many did grow their hair and went to Woodstock, while others shaved theirs and went to Vietnam instead. I think the overarching perception is of a repeating series of zeitgeists that loosely share similar patterns.
I lived during the 3rd turning. We were the awakening. The Age of Aquarius. However I can say. Here I set all brokenhearted came to pooh and only farted. My grandchildren are going to be the real deal 4th turning. Thier being prepared for this moment in time. Promise.
As you stated in the video, as a Gen Xer, I don't see Millenials as being up to their role as the "Heroes" during the obvious Crisis period of history in which we are now living. Lol. However, I may just be living up to my supposed Nomad Tendency of Cynicism.
Well they have been told since birth they are each special and important and got participation trophies. And they truly believed it. Maybe that belief will shine through.
Right, the Millenials will not be doing anything - it's Gen X who are the heroes. Unfortunately, no one will be around after the war. It's going back to zero folks.
Great video. I’m curious as to whether or not the book also elaborates on how parents of the same generation may differ depending on the generation they became parents/raised kids. For example, Boomer parents in the 70s (of Gen X) vs Boomer parents in the 80s/90s (Millenials). Like because of the cultural and institutional differences, would you say that they were more dismissive as parents to Gen X kids and involved with Millennial kids? Conversely, what of Millennials with Boomer parents vs Gen X parents? I’ve noticed this especially with my friends as a millennial. Gen X parents seem very protective/cynical while Boomer parents were controlling/competitive. As a generalization I guess
I was born in 8q but half the times raised by my great grandparents. I seem to be a mix of these This theory seems to really accurate but i believe it exists within a much larger cycle that happens every 2000 years. Which we are at the end of the 2000+ years. This view changes because of the tech revolution.
I agree that there are likely cycles within cycles. This theory showcases one of the smaller 80 year cycles but it reminds me of that spiral history theory by Terrance McKenna, forgot what he called it, that showed cycles on a much grander scale through time.
Fascinating book, seems like a worthwhile read. The authors describe the four generational archetypes through their Baby Boomer perspective so (tongue in cheek here) from a Classical Greek lens they see themselves as the golden priests, the great prophets of the temples, glades and grottos and their progeny (the millennials) are the heroes of renown. Meanwhile the classical Greek term for nomad is "barbarian", the marginalized outliers of proper society and the barbarian Gen X offspring, the Zoomers, are a herd of oversensitive artists to be easily coerced and fleeced by their New World Order overlords (read "Romans"). There does seem to be a twenty year period of generational exceptionalism followed by a period of downsizing and marginalization. The "exceptional" would be the Missionary , The GI , Boomers, Millennials and now the Alpha generations. The marginalized and constricted generations would be the Lost Generation, the Silents, Gen X and now the Zoomers. I'm literally a latchkey middle child Gen X and a barbarian to boot according to the authors so that is my reactional yawp to the video, thank you for it.
Really good job on current analysis of millennials and GenZs. One more thing on the GenXers; the best tech comes from Xers. Thus, All the open sources code (i.e. one that creates an entire worldwide shadow money system to algorithmic equity trading). Also, tradesman! Howe said that Xers are going to fix everything the Boomers mess up. But you seem to be also say later in life Xers will help the millennials mature a bit quicker; thus, becoming the Hero. Xers just need to fund and organise the Millennials. My job just got way easier, even if things get worse before better.
Yes I think you make a good point. X'rs seem to be high level problem solvers, some solutions elegant, some not so. Thanks so much for your support of my channel!
Retarded analysis of millennials. We are a large generation and many of us who got into the world between 9/11 and 2008 are nothing like the mainstream media depiction that is often portrayed and that you have furthered in this. We are much more independent, our overbearing parents caused us to outright reject statist control and societal norms. Also Globalist hacks shilling for eco terrorists/ climate clowns is akin to neitsches slave morality. And will serve to further the breakdown of society. Other than that and the obvious gen x bias not a bad video.
There is either a much longer cycle, or what appears to be a linear component for accumulating technological power. For example: At no other historic time have we had the ability to bring about the extinction of nearly all life on the planet let alone, end the cycle(s). Sorry for the pessimism, I'm a Nomad.
While I think this idea applies mainly to modern society, the use of ancient wisdom is not very applicable here and 1. This video applies ancient philosophy and tries to apply it to a modern republic class system. You could not work your way up in class during ancient times within your life time during the "hero" generation, you could set up a position where in the future if there were a crisis your family would be able to join the merchant or even nobility class. This concept of "work hard move up" is entirely false, peasants worked hard, slaves worked hard, merchants worked hard, yet none could achieve mobility unless their family had arranged it as such. Also if this entire generation participated in protests how would they rise to power in politics? Sure in our current society you can be an activist and then a senator but this would not be the case in ancient Rome, your birth determines your class. Today this is true, it is an obvious reality to anyone with half a brain. 2. Judeo-Christian and the belief that Christianity does not believe in cyclical history. Within the Bible it says that the events of Revelations will happen multiple times until the world ends. The foundation of Christianity is being oppressed then rising to power as you describe, the difference is that the kingdoms based on Christianity would last hundreds, even a thousand years without any of these unstable changes. Judeo-Christian is not a valid word, it's the same as capitalist-communist, it was made by zionist christians and jews for the sole purpose of establishing an Israeli state. The belief that you are God's Chosen People so everyone is lesser so religious laws don't apply towards them versus you are God's Chosen People so we should set an example and establish a moral precedent are not compatible ideas. In short, you're looking at ancient philosophy from a modern perspective, this is like hearing an inside joke without the context. You can either believe "If I invest, work hard, I can achieve political power" or "I was born into opportunity others cannot have" You either focus all your attention on the now, or you can focus your attention on the future. The only one with power in any community is the one who leads, if a community starts trying to divide power and compete with each other it leads to and is anarchy.
7:22 Respectfully, the biblical World View is ALSO cyclical. “…nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes) God created ALL nature, and nature is emphatically cyclical.
My guess of the coming high will be an era of good european feelings which also will accompanied by an optimistic mood that we finally address the climate issues.
Which one the one in the 1970s where it said it was going to get very very cold or when they switch course a few years later and said I was going to get hot? Incidentally there are still asking the same experts that had the views it was going to get cold and then switch to it's going to get hot. Experts lol!!
God works through generations. Another 40 years around the mountain was 40 for a reason. Technically 38 but that would be a biblical generation. Also there are generational curses. The book of judges is basically things are good then two or three generations pass and people fell away. There can still be cycles of history as well as an ultimate end. But until that end comes its history as usual.
I liked this video. I'm a Milennial. I tend to hate the doom and gloom political predictions of the currently entrenched age groups. So the hopefulness that you mentioned at the end of the video sounds good to me. However, I do have one objection. We currently have 34 trillion dollars in debt and counting, and that is almost certainly not going away in my lifetime. Because we went from Obama (One politician who was seemingly allergic to balancing the budget) to Trump (another politician who is seemingly allergic to balancing the budget), we've racked up a completely unreasonable debt and that's not going away with a simple "change of dynasty". So, while I am not for the doom and gloom, I do believe in being realistic. Issues will get resolved. My Generation and I may just be dead by the time some of them do, and that's not said to strike an emotional tone. Again, realism.
You need to get prepared NOW. There is no time to doubt what is coming - you can see and hear it everywhere, and if you know history, you know it's coming. Please get ready.
Sounds like justifications for a Dictatorial society. Democracy as an Idea and as a practice is deemed useless, an impediment even. Addressing the critiques of generational theory would be more honest than only presenting a description of a theory of change as proposed by Strauss and Howe.
why do all these 4th turning videos nearly ignore 9/11 as a turning? the financial crisis of '08 was a minor skip that many people got over with very quick.. 9/11 changed the world on a major scale, (especially at airports) and islam will never be seen the same again
Politics is downstream from culture. Whoever controls the past controls the future. Whoever controls the present controls the past. He who controls the politic controls the present. Whoever controls the culture controls the politic(politics=downstream from culture) Whoever controls the pussy controls the culture. Blue Pill- The belief that both genders, possessing equal natures, will on average possess equal proclivities to be moral & responsible given equal qualities & quantities of invested nurture. Red Pill- The awareness that men & women, having different natures, will on average possess different proclivities to be moral & responsible given equal qualities & quantities of invested nurture, & how this effects societies, micro & macro. Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny. -Aristotle The micro cycle(80 years): Hard times create strong men Strong men create good times Good times create baby boomers Baby boomers create hard times... The macro cycle(800-1200 years): Hard times create patriarchy(where rights are dependent on responsibilities, since men usually take more responsibilities than women this system is described as patriarchy) Patriarchy creates good times Good times creates feminism(equal rights independent of responsibilities) Feminism burns everything down, creating hard times... To Adam God said, "Because YOU LISTENED TO YOUR WIFE & ate from the tree about which I commanded you not to: Cursed is the ground because of you, through painful toil you will eat of it, all the days of your life." -Genesis 3:17 Man's hiearchy of needs: 1 Safety 2 Food & Water 3 Shelter & Sleep 4 Social & Sexual needs 5 Communal & self esteem needs 6 Self Actualization In every category of need in men's hierarchy, women's needs are met better in society, yet every election women vote to take more from men and give more to themselves?! Women's hiearchy of needs: 1 Equality of Opportunity 2 Equality of Outcome 3 Equality of Authority 4 Equal Authority with no Responsibility 5 All the Authority with no Responsibility for the women, with all the Responsibilities & no Authority for the man or men(especially sexual Responsibilities & Authorities). A tyrant has 100% authority with 0% responsibility. A slave has 100% responsibility with 0% authority. Today marriage, as redefined by the female democratic majority and family court system, makes the man a slave to a tyrant wife, who can divorce him at will, stealing his children, his wealth, and his human dignity. All womens natural unregulated desire is to have sex with high status bad bad boys and get innocent men to pay for the responsibility consequences(abortions, kids ect.). That's why women, no matter how meritocratic, should never vote. Women want equal rights authority to make all the decisions in their own life when the alpha f*cks opportunity is there. Its when responsibility slowly comes knocking that women want to shift responsibility back over to innocent men. Women want to sit at the poker table of the socio-sexual market place & make bets & authorize promises in the hundreds of thousands in reproductive costs when they can only actually back up a few pennies worth of responsibility. If women CAN'T take responsibility for a authorization, then they CAN'T have equal authority/rights as the guy who can. Show me a man who takes by force what he wants from women and I'll show you 100 women who vote to take by force what they want from men. Show me a grave created by patriarchy and Ill show you an entire graveyard created by feminism/communism. "Any society that negates the role of the father in the voluntarily marriage contract from decent civilization building men and replaces it with a involuntary centralized welfare state will not remain civilized for long."
I agree with the majority of the video. HOWEVER, I am a Gen-X parent (who waited to have a family until I was 30) RAISING GEN-X KIDS. I have been a stay at home mom the majority of my 3 kids lives. BUT I am NOT a helicopter parent. They had NO TECH until they were 10. NO CELL PHONES until 14, and if I said don't TOUCH THAT when they were 3, I told them SEVERAL TIMES and then LET THEM touch it AND EXPERIENCE PAIN. Then I would rescue them, get a bandaid, call gma WHOLE 9 YARDS. WHY? It's called BUILDING A TRUST RELATIONSHIP, they needed to KNOW I KNEW what I was TALKING ABOUT. If you DO NOT LET THEM FAIL IN YOUR HOME WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE, THEY WILL BE IN YOUR HOME (safespace) FOREVER. And YES, my kids didn't like me much, I was the MEAN parent but guess WHAT - I AM THE PARENT, not the SISTER, BROTHER, TEACHER, BFF or a SOCIAL WORKER. And none of YOU will EVER have to worry about feeding my kids OR PAYING THEIR DEBT.
@unnamed2737 they are actually Gen Z, but in the generational gap (4th turning), both Gen Z and Gen X are considered NOMAD generations. For whatever that's worth. And my insinuation WAS I'm raising them to UNDERSTAND there are CONSEQUENCES to your ACTIONS. Some you will enjoy (like a paycheck), and some you will NOT (like a speeding ticket). HOWEVER, THEY ARE STILL YOUR CONSEQUENCES AND NO ONE ELSES. ACCEPT THEM AND MOVE ONE.
No PPP loans huh? Education benefits all of us. Like the GI bill did after ww2. Other countries are passing us by because Americans have been dumbed down. We make Education unaffordable at our own risk! 4 year college for all! Free.

32:00 ish, what do you mean by the "Reagan economic snowball"? US Bureau of Labor Statistics show Consumer Price Index taking off in a steep climb, never to return AND The US Census Bureau showing the relative income of the top 10% starting a similar steep rise above the rest also never to return and BOTH started with the presidency of Ronald Reagan. If it is a "snowball" it's the kind that rolls downhill and knocks evryone over. And rich toffs at the top who started it rolling.
Reagan was an economic disaster for all but the 1%
In a few years when the boomers die off, Gen X will be the last generation desperately grasping on to the last bit of normalcy. We need help. We need based millennials and Gen Z to help save the world. Literally
for every "based" millenial/Gen Z there are hundreds who are drenched in propaganda.
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. Great overview. I can definitely see that 2019 was probably the confirmation end of the unravelling era and we’ve now migrated into the crisis but not at the peak yet It was definite not the Covid 19 crisis, that was just the ramp up into something full blown. The mood that nothing established previously is strong enough to hold societal orders together, domestic or global, shows we’re gearing up for a real winter to bring in a new paradigm.
The frightening thing here is that the authors contend that no Crisis Turning in the Anglo-American cycles have ever occurred without total war, and they write that with each successive crisis, technological advances have ratcheted up the intensity of those wars. Let's hope this crisis doesn't continue that trajectory. Thanks for viewing my work, and for sharing your thoughts!
Neil Howe himself has identified 2008 as the start of this Crisis era. And it looks like now we are moving into the climax of this Crisis
@@dansdiscourse4957 the end is in sight to all this madness, although it could still get a lot worse first....2028-2030 we turn I reckon
@@3604Monkeyuface Well yes and no. I agree that the end will come around 2030, give or take a few years. I'd expand the window to 2027-2033. But understand that I think the biggest, most holy shit moments are yet to come. So in one sense the turn isn't too far away, but in another sense there's a lot between here and there
Second U.S. Civil War over separation of church and state is coming. That is the crisis.
That is a great review, very well put together. It is even more relevant now than when it was first produced 2 years ago. Mate, thanks for making the time and effort to get this invaluable educational tool out there.
As a millennial, we desperately want community, solidarity, a robust welfare state that takes care of people, an end to the endless wars, a rejection of the narcissism and self-worship of Boomers and Xers, and an economic order based around creating a high quality of life for the many instead of profits and opulence for the few. We will get this one way or the other, even if it means a turn toward authoritarianism.
Apparently, there are Millennials who don't know GenX. It is said that genx is so small because 1/3 were never born because roe-v-wade (1973) made abortion so fashionable. We GenX came home from school to an empty house because our boomer parents were funding their divorces, and on weekends we weren't allowed in the house so we ran around like feral packs on our bikes raising ourselves. We spent our 20's working 60-70 hours a week, but were still dirt poor because of ungodly student loans and a job market that hasn't improved since. At this point we're 50 years old and the torch has been passed over our heads, and as far as we're concerned, another generation can have it. For god's sake, don't lump genx in with boomers.
The fourth turning is correct in that boomers and millennials are dominant, and genx and genz are recessive. I'm 50/50 on whether millennials are up to the challenge. I hope you are because many gen alpha have ipads in their cribs, and a generation struggling with internet addiction before they can talk seems like really bad news.
Maybe because I was raised by my great grandmother, I am an outsider as a millennial, '87, but I feel our participation in this play is something that can throw a wrench in this. I think many of us are trying to just get outside of it instead of indulging the preferred, do as your told programming. the gold can stay, things do not have to fall apart to be better, they just want you to accept that so they, the control group can keep pushing and pulling us along. If we are heroes I hope we'll be the only ones that don't participate. It is literally insane to repeat.
Also, my parents were as good as hippies, drug addicts and drunks, raised by world War 2 generation. Trauma as children stunts our development to rise above and keeps us as animals.
I'm Gen X (xennial), raising my millennial daughter the old school way. Teaching her everything I know. She is strong, capable, courageous, resilient and resourceful, like me.
Great summary vid, mate. Probably the most succinct yet far ranging videos about the turnings I have seen. Well done
I can only agree. I reed the book, watched interviews and summarizes.
This was absolutely the best!!!
Thanks, loved it. And insightful
I think,not only can this teach us whatay be coming as a society, but can also teach us world views of different generations therefore helping us navigate interactions with them.
We are clearly already in the Fourth Turning, the question is how and when it will end?!?!?
This is a pretty thorough explanation, thanks for that.
Great work! I throughly enjoyed
Amazing video, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am amazed at how well put together it is. Thank you for a detailed breakdown.
Really well done. Thanks.
OK. Kudos for a well presented synopsis of the generations. I am the oldest Gen Xer. I have seen both worlds (wwii parents), older boomer siblings and everything from Reagan Strategic Defense Iniative to the ozone depletion to Covid. Now, a few things ...
1) Kudos to the authors for showing the cyclical nature of history, not the linear nature of history. Their book, though, is a history book. To treat it as a science text or a text from God would be illogical (as Spock would say). So, let's move away from the set-in-stone mentality.
2) Gen Xers were first hit by Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan and their neoliberalism. We saw what the wwii had, what the boomers enjoyed and who picking up the tab.
3) Let's not over complicate things. The wwii generation were exceptionally fiscally conservative. They passed a flourishing country to the silent generation and boomers which then fiscally raped Lady liberty. It's that simple. They were handed a CASH COW and took advantage.
4) Now, they only have argumentative fallacies and gaslighting left to keep "their" system unchanged. But, Gen Xers are too wise for the gaslighting.
A few closing remarks ...
Climate change and the opioid genocide will be their undoing. Also, and this is important, America is moving towards humanism in place of religion. This is what will bring the country to a boil. Atheists, Agnostics, Deists, and Pantheists out number the theists. THIS is the new order.
You add the philosphers (i.e., Humanists) into the fray, and you have your 4th Turning.
some very interesting insights. Thanks for sharing!
How is Ayn Rams a neo liberal?
Great points. Anglos have turned to humanism but that’s about it. The rest of humanity has retained their ethnic and religious identity largely as a means of survival. Anglos have lots of institutional power, and for at least the next few years are the numerical majority in America and Europe, but this will change within the next 2 decades. How can the future be “humanist” if all the secular humanists…who are largely made up of anglos, are dead, or were never born because anglos stopped having children?
@JB-qt3wo
Start here ....
1) Definitions. Define Humanism. Then we can talk about humanism. We all agree that water freezes at zero and boils at 100. We have to agree on the terms: Liberal, Conservative, and Humanism. Hell... even Chriatians can't agree on Christianity.
2) "Earth belongs to the living, not to the dead."
I have a secret weapon ... society no longer has a choice. Younger generations are inheriting 5000 nuclear warheads, the world's foremost biological and chemical weaponry, laser satellites able to destroy small cities. And... that's just America. Same is true in England, France, Russia, China and Israel.
3) "We need to learn how to think in a new way."
Humanism is a thought process, regardless of how any other humanist group defines it. Humanism is rooted in Stoicism.
The fate of all life on planet Earth depends on Humanism. That's why we are inevitable.
@@michaelfelli7661 Humanism can be partly traced to stoicism, it was also heavily influenced by Platonic ideas, and of course the Scholasticism of St. Thomas Aquinas and later the enlightenment. I suppose you could even trace it back to ancient Egypt, as Plato borrowed much from them. We have largely assimilated humanistic ideals into Western culture, but we have to remember we make up about 10% of the global population. There is a lot of work left to be done, and it is going to be a bumpy road as we are entering a new phase of conflict. One where the homogenized mass of European identity must merge together with different groups such as Indians, Africans, Etc. Remember that Europeans were only successfully homogenized in America post WWII. Before that, the lines dividing the different European identities within America were much more distinct. However, the spirit of humanism is alive and well, and it must be tempered by some sort of moralism in order to reign in the animalistic impulses of mankind. I believe that is the future for America envisioned by people like Peter Thiel, a sort of colorblind meritocracy that is guided by platonic morality and humanism….how much teeth there is to that i’m not quite sure. We seem to be on a very degenerative path. Humanity needs humanism, but it also needs law and order, and it needs strong effective leadership. Difficult to thread that needle when most people tend to resent authority.
Fantastic, i've been wanting to review our discussion for some time. I feel the The awakening may be also related to the summertime season, or perhaps maybe spring, where the "snowflakes" melt 😉
Yes, Neil says (in the videos linked in the description below) that the transitional periods aren't set in stone, and are influenced by lots of complex factors, so they may last longer or shorter than is typical. Also there are plenty of exceptions to the archetypal individual- e.g not all nomads experienced lapsed or absent parenting; and not all prophets were either spoiled as kids or grew up to be non conformist hippies - many did grow their hair and went to Woodstock, while others shaved theirs and went to Vietnam instead. I think the overarching perception is of a repeating series of zeitgeists that loosely share similar patterns.
I lived during the 3rd turning. We were the awakening. The Age of Aquarius. However I can say. Here I set all brokenhearted came to pooh and only farted. My grandchildren are going to be the real deal 4th turning. Thier being prepared for this moment in time. Promise.
As you stated in the video, as a Gen Xer, I don't see Millenials as being up to their role as the "Heroes" during the obvious Crisis period of history in which we are now living. Lol. However, I may just be living up to my supposed Nomad Tendency of Cynicism.
Well they have been told since birth they are each special and important and got participation trophies. And they truly believed it. Maybe that belief will shine through.
Right, the Millenials will not be doing anything - it's Gen X who are the heroes. Unfortunately, no one will be around after the war. It's going back to zero folks.
They will be heros! They're changing healthcare and housing already. 3D printed homes are innovative, and nutrition as medicine are flourishing.
Once the dollar crashes, all of this won't even matter.
You gen z?
@@b3ardedragon921 No.
Has to be genX
nope.@@unnamed2737
Great video. I’m curious as to whether or not the book also elaborates on how parents of the same generation may differ depending on the generation they became parents/raised kids. For example, Boomer parents in the 70s (of Gen X) vs Boomer parents in the 80s/90s (Millenials). Like because of the cultural and institutional differences, would you say that they were more dismissive as parents to Gen X kids and involved with Millennial kids? Conversely, what of Millennials with Boomer parents vs Gen X parents? I’ve noticed this especially with my friends as a millennial. Gen X parents seem very protective/cynical while Boomer parents were controlling/competitive. As a generalization I guess
Well done, thank you!
excellent, thank you
I was born in 8q but half the times raised by my great grandparents. I seem to be a mix of these This theory seems to really accurate but i believe it exists within a much larger cycle that happens every 2000 years. Which we are at the end of the 2000+ years. This view changes because of the tech revolution.
I agree that there are likely cycles within cycles. This theory showcases one of the smaller 80 year cycles but it reminds me of that spiral history theory by Terrance McKenna, forgot what he called it, that showed cycles on a much grander scale through time.
Fascinating book, seems like a worthwhile read. The authors describe the four generational archetypes through their Baby Boomer perspective so (tongue in cheek here) from a Classical Greek lens they see themselves as the golden priests, the great prophets of the temples, glades and grottos and their progeny (the millennials) are the heroes of renown. Meanwhile the classical Greek term for nomad is "barbarian", the marginalized outliers of proper society and the barbarian Gen X offspring, the Zoomers, are a herd of oversensitive artists to be easily coerced and fleeced by their New World Order overlords (read "Romans").
There does seem to be a twenty year period of generational exceptionalism followed by a period of downsizing and marginalization. The "exceptional" would be the Missionary , The GI , Boomers, Millennials and now the Alpha generations.
The marginalized and constricted generations would be the Lost Generation, the Silents, Gen X and now the Zoomers. I'm literally a latchkey middle child Gen X and a barbarian to boot according to the authors so that is my reactional yawp to the video, thank you for it.
I call my politics "leave-me-alone-atarianism", fitting for X/Nomad.
its funny that i got recommended this video after watching a video about The Heroes of the Fourth Turning
Currently reading it but there is a new book coming out in July by same author
What a great time to be an artist 🙄
Mark Twain said "History doesn't repeat, but rhymes." Jesus said "I am alpha and omega." Seems the ultimate cycle.
Well done
Really good job on current analysis of millennials and GenZs. One more thing on the GenXers; the best tech comes from Xers. Thus, All the open sources code (i.e. one that creates an entire worldwide shadow money system to algorithmic equity trading). Also, tradesman! Howe said that Xers are going to fix everything the Boomers mess up. But you seem to be also say later in life Xers will help the millennials mature a bit quicker; thus, becoming the Hero. Xers just need to fund and organise the Millennials. My job just got way easier, even if things get worse before better.
Yes I think you make a good point. X'rs seem to be high level problem solvers, some solutions elegant, some not so. Thanks so much for your support of my channel!
Retarded analysis of millennials. We are a large generation and many of us who got into the world between 9/11 and 2008 are nothing like the mainstream media depiction that is often portrayed and that you have furthered in this. We are much more independent, our overbearing parents caused us to outright reject statist control and societal norms. Also Globalist hacks shilling for eco terrorists/ climate clowns is akin to neitsches slave morality. And will serve to further the breakdown of society. Other than that and the obvious gen x bias not a bad video.
There is either a much longer cycle, or what appears to be a linear component for accumulating technological power.
For example: At no other historic time have we had the ability to bring about the extinction of nearly all life on the planet let alone, end the cycle(s).
Sorry for the pessimism, I'm a Nomad.
We are fixin' to take a beatin' such this country hasnt seen since the 1850s.
The new world order sounds cringe
While I think this idea applies mainly to modern society, the use of ancient wisdom is not very applicable here and
1. This video applies ancient philosophy and tries to apply it to a modern republic class system. You could not work your way up in class during ancient times within your life time during the "hero" generation, you could set up a position where in the future if there were a crisis your family would be able to join the merchant or even nobility class. This concept of "work hard move up" is entirely false, peasants worked hard, slaves worked hard, merchants worked hard, yet none could achieve mobility unless their family had arranged it as such. Also if this entire generation participated in protests how would they rise to power in politics? Sure in our current society you can be an activist and then a senator but this would not be the case in ancient Rome, your birth determines your class. Today this is true, it is an obvious reality to anyone with half a brain.
2. Judeo-Christian and the belief that Christianity does not believe in cyclical history. Within the Bible it says that the events of Revelations will happen multiple times until the world ends. The foundation of Christianity is being oppressed then rising to power as you describe, the difference is that the kingdoms based on Christianity would last hundreds, even a thousand years without any of these unstable changes.
Judeo-Christian is not a valid word, it's the same as capitalist-communist, it was made by zionist christians and jews for the sole purpose of establishing an Israeli state. The belief that you are God's Chosen People so everyone is lesser so religious laws don't apply towards them versus you are God's Chosen People so we should set an example and establish a moral precedent are not compatible ideas.
In short, you're looking at ancient philosophy from a modern perspective, this is like hearing an inside joke without the context. You can either believe "If I invest, work hard, I can achieve political power" or "I was born into opportunity others cannot have" You either focus all your attention on the now, or you can focus your attention on the future. The only one with power in any community is the one who leads, if a community starts trying to divide power and compete with each other it leads to and is anarchy.

Respectfully, the biblical World View is ALSO cyclical.
“…nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes)
God created ALL nature, and nature is emphatically cyclical.
I'm just beyond ready for things to stop imploding in on themselves, and for eveyone to stop crying about culture war bs.
I’m born in 1984 so I’m not sure where I fit in?
The one that best describes your experiences.
Millennial
My guess of the coming high will be an era of good european feelings which also will accompanied by an optimistic mood that we finally address the climate issues.
You've been hoaxed
Which one the one in the 1970s where it said it was going to get very very cold or when they switch course a few years later and said I was going to get hot? Incidentally there are still asking the same experts that had the views it was going to get cold and then switch to it's going to get hot. Experts lol!!
God works through generations. Another 40 years around the mountain was 40 for a reason. Technically 38 but that would be a biblical generation. Also there are generational curses. The book of judges is basically things are good then two or three generations pass and people fell away. There can still be cycles of history as well as an ultimate end. But until that end comes its history as usual.
I liked this video. I'm a Milennial. I tend to hate the doom and gloom political predictions of the currently entrenched age groups. So the hopefulness that you mentioned at the end of the video sounds good to me. However, I do have one objection. We currently have 34 trillion dollars in debt and counting, and that is almost certainly not going away in my lifetime.
Because we went from Obama (One politician who was seemingly allergic to balancing the budget) to Trump (another politician who is seemingly allergic to balancing the budget), we've racked up a completely unreasonable debt and that's not going away with a simple "change of dynasty".
So, while I am not for the doom and gloom, I do believe in being realistic. Issues will get resolved. My Generation and I may just be dead by the time some of them do, and that's not said to strike an emotional tone. Again, realism.
You need to get prepared NOW. There is no time to doubt what is coming - you can see and hear it everywhere, and if you know history, you know it's coming. Please get ready.
Sounds like justifications for a Dictatorial society. Democracy as an Idea and as a practice is deemed useless, an impediment even. Addressing the critiques of generational theory would be more honest than only presenting a description of a theory of change as proposed by Strauss and Howe.
Always thought boomers were born through 1963 ?
why do all these 4th turning videos nearly ignore 9/11 as a turning? the financial crisis of '08 was a minor skip that many people got over with very quick.. 9/11 changed the world on a major scale, (especially at airports) and islam will never be seen the same again
Totally socially engineered..
Politics is downstream from culture.
Whoever controls the past controls the future.
Whoever controls the present controls the past.
He who controls the politic controls the present.
Whoever controls the culture controls the politic(politics=downstream from culture)
Whoever controls the pussy controls the culture.
Blue Pill- The belief that both genders, possessing equal natures, will on average possess equal proclivities to be moral & responsible given equal qualities & quantities of invested nurture.
Red Pill- The awareness that men & women, having different natures, will on average possess different proclivities to be moral & responsible given equal qualities & quantities of invested nurture, & how this effects societies, micro & macro.
Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny. -Aristotle
The micro cycle(80 years):
Hard times create strong men
Strong men create good times
Good times create baby boomers
Baby boomers create hard times...
The macro cycle(800-1200 years):
Hard times create patriarchy(where rights are dependent on responsibilities, since men usually take more responsibilities than women this system is described as patriarchy)
Patriarchy creates good times
Good times creates feminism(equal rights independent of responsibilities)
Feminism burns everything down, creating hard times...
To Adam God said, "Because YOU LISTENED TO YOUR WIFE & ate from the tree about which I commanded you not to:
Cursed is the ground because of you, through painful toil you will eat of it, all the days of your life."
-Genesis 3:17
Man's hiearchy of needs:
1 Safety
2 Food & Water
3 Shelter & Sleep
4 Social & Sexual needs
5 Communal & self esteem needs
6 Self Actualization
In every category of need in men's hierarchy, women's needs are met better in society, yet every election women vote to take more from men and give more to themselves?!
Women's hiearchy of needs:
1 Equality of Opportunity
2 Equality of Outcome
3 Equality of Authority
4 Equal Authority with no Responsibility
5 All the Authority with no Responsibility for the women, with all the Responsibilities & no Authority for the man or men(especially sexual Responsibilities & Authorities).
A tyrant has 100% authority with 0% responsibility.
A slave has 100% responsibility with 0% authority.
Today marriage, as redefined by the female democratic majority and family court system, makes the man a slave to a tyrant wife, who can divorce him at will, stealing his children, his wealth, and his human dignity.
All womens natural unregulated desire is to have sex with high status bad bad boys and get innocent men to pay for the responsibility consequences(abortions, kids ect.). That's why women, no matter how meritocratic, should never vote.
Women want equal rights authority to make all the decisions in their own life when the alpha f*cks opportunity is there. Its when responsibility slowly comes knocking that women want to shift responsibility back over to innocent men. Women want to sit at the poker table of the socio-sexual market place & make bets & authorize promises in the hundreds of thousands in reproductive costs when they can only actually back up a few pennies worth of responsibility. If women CAN'T take responsibility for a authorization, then they CAN'T have equal authority/rights as the guy who can.
Show me a man who takes by force what he wants from women and I'll show you 100 women who vote to take by force what they want from men. Show me a grave created by patriarchy and Ill show you an entire graveyard created by feminism/communism.
"Any society that negates the role of the father in the voluntarily marriage contract from decent civilization building men and replaces it with a involuntary centralized welfare state will not remain civilized for long."

I agree with the majority of the video. HOWEVER, I am a Gen-X parent (who waited to have a family until I was 30) RAISING GEN-X KIDS. I have been a stay at home mom the majority of my 3 kids lives. BUT I am NOT a helicopter parent. They had NO TECH until they were 10. NO CELL PHONES until 14, and if I said don't TOUCH THAT when they were 3, I told them SEVERAL TIMES and then LET THEM touch it AND EXPERIENCE PAIN. Then I would rescue them, get a bandaid, call gma WHOLE 9 YARDS. WHY? It's called BUILDING A TRUST RELATIONSHIP, they needed to KNOW I KNEW what I was TALKING ABOUT. If you DO NOT LET THEM FAIL IN YOUR HOME WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE, THEY WILL BE IN YOUR HOME (safespace) FOREVER. And YES, my kids didn't like me much, I was the MEAN parent but guess WHAT - I AM THE PARENT, not the SISTER, BROTHER, TEACHER, BFF or a SOCIAL WORKER. And none of YOU will EVER have to worry about feeding my kids OR PAYING THEIR DEBT.
How can you and your kids both be genX if you waited till your 30’s to have them?
@unnamed2737 they are actually Gen Z, but in the generational gap (4th turning), both Gen Z and Gen X are considered NOMAD generations. For whatever that's worth. And my insinuation WAS I'm raising them to UNDERSTAND there are CONSEQUENCES to your ACTIONS. Some you will enjoy (like a paycheck), and some you will NOT (like a speeding ticket). HOWEVER, THEY ARE STILL YOUR CONSEQUENCES AND NO ONE ELSES. ACCEPT THEM AND MOVE ONE.
No PPP loans huh?
Education benefits all of us. Like the GI bill did after ww2.
Other countries are passing us by because Americans have been dumbed down.
We make Education unaffordable at our own risk!

Best thing is the Prophet generation. Good times until it doesnt bloody matter anymore.
There is no best thing. It all contributes to the experience. Every generation is equally important to what is happening and will happen.
