The issue with Strauss & Howe is that they could describe the future only in terms of the past they were observing, so they read conservative; and they made things considerably more difficult by exposing and intervening.

I keep wondering if their cyclical time model has collapsed to a point and everything is now happening at the same time.

Awakening, Unraveling, Crisis, High; Prophet, Nomad, Hero, Artist - you can now be of any archetype, live in any of the four periods simultaneously.

Millennials however, according to prophecy¹, would fight for control by presenting itself as youthful. their "how do you do fellow kids" mimicry would actually work. Up to a point.

a good way to look smart is to wear glasses

@nprofile1q... thanks for trying but i wasn't kidding. you seem okay but your lesson is wasted on me. i have disassembled the american problem like a clock. looked at all the parts. decided that the people are fine, just that inverse gaslighting is everywhere. y'all are ok, you just distrust each other to a level that makes no sense in a cooperative society.

at some point, sorry, there is no way around it, you've got to start trusting each other. i know it sounds mad. but this is what i got.
