Ekpyrosis - a Stoic belief in the periodic destruction (and renewal) of the cosmos
Some interesting stuff regarding the Fourth Turning and a bunch of other converging cycles in this pod:

I have to be honest, I haven't read the latest book ("The Fourth Turning is Here"), but I also feel that since it doesn't mention Bitcoin, it misses something significant. Because I think there's a higher chance than not that a financial crisis will be the end of this cycle (one already signified the beginning phase of the Fourth Turning) and that Bitcoin will be the cornerstone of the so-called New World Order.
All of this reminded me of this old and eye-opening @npub1pxykn... episode with @npub14mcdd... and Mark Moss, where they discuss other cycles: 80-year generational/crisis cycles (similar to The Fourth Turning), ~84-year political/social cycles tied to upheaval and regime change, ~250-year revolutionary cycles tied to decentralization vs centralization shifts, and ~50-year waves of technological revolutions.
