it’s basically human nature at work…right?

There’s a book called “The Fourth Turning” https://amzn.to/3Mdt7xm

It outlines how every 80 years, America goes through this process.

The High
The Awakening
The Unraveling
The Crisis

It’s kind of unavoidable because it’s generational. Each generation forgets the shit the last one went through. My grandparents survived the great depression…two generations later, I have NO CLUE what the reality of that was like.

The last world crisis was WW2…so we’re due.
After WW2 there was a high – the 50s and 60s. Everyone way conforming, life was good. Religion and family, belief in government.
Moving into the 60-70s was the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK and X, the Vietnam War protests, our country started to “wake up” and realize the systems in place weren’t operating in our best interest.
Then in the 80s to 2000s you get the notion of the individual. The focus on the self , not the family or community. People become de-socialized and isolate themselves with technology.
And here we are at the brink of crisis.

IDK what that looks like, but it will be global and profound.

Then we start over again :)
