So you read a completely different book and found it to be lacking for the point I was trying to make. Got it. Go back to your bourbon or whatever it is that you use to pretend that it doesn't matter who is president and we'll both be fine. Because I'm now 100% certain you won't bother reading the book I suggested. And honestly that's fine. You're probably not up to a discussion of it.

I didn’t read the second book because:

It was simply a rehash of the first book.

I generally don’t have time for people who think they’ve decoded history. It smells as about as respectable as astrology to me.

I have to admit, your perspective is so boomerish that all I can say is ‘ok boomer.’ I also don’t expect you to care enough to read the book and see why I said that. Your loss. Go on living in your bubble as the world implodes from the fourth turning.

Ok, Nostradamus.

I found this video because I don't know anything about The Fourth Turning but it might help catch up those of us who want to catch up with the idea:

You’re right. I also lack the time to delve into the details of Scientology for much the same reason. I reject the basic premise. Label it as you will.

Years ago, I read a book by Karl Popper called “The Poverty of Historicism”, which pretty much ruined me for deterministic models of history. I see reductive generational thinking as every bit as useless as reductive racial or class thinking, so I’m not a fan of CRT or Marxist explanations of history either. So I’m happy to take my chances on your imploding world without the insights of Neil Howe or Steve Bannon to guide me. You can call that a bubble, but I call it time management.

"The Fourth Turning" sounds like an interesting take on history, and it's in my county library. I think I'll check it out - thanks, jp1.
