  Astrology and Astronomy have been part of human history, Not a right wing talking point Sir. Please read some books and do not just watch the news. Empires come and go just read history.

  @pbcaddy, what a very sad state to live in, to believe anything that is remotely innovative, unconventional or controversial is right wing propaganda. Good luck with that ‘winning’ belief system, im sure believing that climate change and video games cause heart attacks is better.

  Historian Howe (The Fourth Turning, with Strauss) revisits in this far-ranging treatise his concept of historical cycles, which he calls saecula, composed of four generation-long “Turnings.” Since WWII, Howe contends, humans have passed through the “High,” “Awakening,” and “Unraveling” turnings and are currently in the fourth, the “Crisis” turning, which should climax by the early 2030s. The vaguely sketched period could see economic crashes, political chaos, or war, but it will likely leave humanity, Howe argues, with reinvigorated national institutions, social solidarity, prosperity, and technological marvels. Howe grounds all this in an intricate system of generational archetypes stretching back to the 15th century. Thus, the baby boomers are a prophet generation that will offer visionary leadership in the crisis, Generation X a nomad generation that will seek to provide pragmatic management and stability after suffering childhood abandonment, millennials a public-spirited hero generation that will build the new order, and Generation Z an overly sensitive artist generation. Howe’s writing sometimes feels nebulous and Nostradamian—“As Artists replace the Heroes in childhood, they are overprotected at a time of traumatic conflict and adult self-sacrifice”—and his historical comparisons aren’t always well supported. The result is an intriguing but ultimately unconvincing theory of history’s convoluted patterns

  I’m not sure that you can call a book which suggests the GOP will be annihilated sometime before the 2032 GE ‘right wing astrology’.

  There are some hard lessons here for political conservatives, if they choose to pay attention.

  There does seem a generational and cyclic pattern to western history, most visible from the middle ages through the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Fin de siècle social movements, culminating with the final collapse of the European order concluding World War One. I remember sitting through all the iterations of “Western Civilization”
  courses in high school, later in college, wondering if there’s some sort of wiring for nihilism that sets off a sort of “chaos bomb” once every century, like we’re wired to destroy everything every hundred years.

  I see I struck a nerve with the tiny brained folk. Success!
