So true. I recommend the book

The Fourth Turning theory is compelling, but its Anglo-American focus undersells how globalized crises now play out—especially in flashpoints like the Hormuz. I just read a piece arguing that the next "Crisis" phase could ignite there by 2026, not domestically. Makes me think Strauss & Howe missed...

Strauss and Howe wrote a bestseller so institutions would ignore it until it’s too late. They didn’t predict history; they provided the blueprint for the next controlled demolition.
