The Fourth Turning is Here-with Neil Howe | Ideas Lab 20

Best-selling author and renowned historian Neil Howe joins the show to talk about his New York Times’ bestselling book The Fourth Turning Is Here. Neil believes history moves in generational cycles that last about the length of one long human life. Each cycle has four eras - Turnings - that always arrive in the same order and last about twenty years. We are now midway through a Fourth Turning which is a time of exceptional upheaval and conflict. Previous Fourth Turnings happened during the Great Depression and WWII, the American Civil War and the American Revolution. The good news is a society that successfully navigates a Fourth Turning emerges reborn - more equal, more optimistic and more united. We discuss the implications of this era for financial markets, why it will be the Millennial generation that leads us through the coming conflict and what will characterize the world that emerges afterwards.

normalcy bias

[@rhinoskin7550]

Pretty lame that everything has to have a damn market, honestly.. All a game.. Hard to tell who genuinely cares and who is playing the game.

[@GenX1964]

16:00 People , GenX in particular, WERE dicks to each other during the 3rd Turning. Good Riddance.

[@3506Dodge]

We are clearly leaving an ironic age behind. A new earnestness is struggling to be born.

[@phabulouss1]

The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place-that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis. Ed 179.5
Angels are now restraining the winds of strife, that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom; but a storm is gathering, ready to burst upon the earth; and when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture.
