End of the Unraveling, start of the Crisis

[Kennah]

It's difficult to definitively state when one season of the saeculum ends and another begins, but I think we are in the midst of transition from Unraveling to Crisis.

1. Good book, no?

We have an interesting few years ahead.

2. You read that book too?

You didn't even mention the book that you are talking about, but I know what book you are talking about.

I think the Crisis began in September 2008.

3. I read that book, too

Fasten your seatbelts, everyone. It's going to be a bumpy several years.

4. Which book?

Generations? :shrug:

5. The Fourth Turning

You might want to check it out of the library, or pick up a copy and read it. It charts patterns and trends in society since the 1500's, in eighty-year increments.

What was happening in America eighty years ago today?

7. Oh yeah, I've read it. I figured it was something from those authors

They also wrote "Generations"

6. I could use the term used by Toynbee for this

but this is not the unraveling, we are now firmly in the crisis.

The unraveling was the 2008 10 period, I think,

All quibbles, we are there

[Kennah]

8. My bad

I was referring to "The Fourth Turning", which I'm currently reading. Have not read "Generations".
