I’m sure he’s well intentioned, but his advocacy of the sketchy concept of “Fourth Turnings” while being perhaps historically accurate misses the fact that fourth turnings only occur because of the human civilizational inability to achieve an integrative thirdness and greater oneness solution of their deepest problems. And that of course is what we should be focusing on instead of merely bashing ideas and institutions until chaos and collapse results.

Considering that the primary factor behind civilizational collapse for at least the last 5000 years has been the monopolistic paradigm for the vehicle and form of credit/money creation being Debt Only; rationally and intelligently integrating the primacy of the new paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting would undoubtedly be the key step in achieving such thirdness greater oneness and so of avoiding the insane repetition of fourth turnings.
