Neil Howe: The Entire Power Structure Will Be Shattered During This Unfolding Fourth Turning (PT2)​


Here in Part 2, famed researcher and demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning, explains why the weight of history strongly suggests we are headed into a decade-plus period of economic and social disruption that will transform our political, economic, financial and social systems. 45:29
 
And here's a couple of the devils that will try to help us get there:

"What do we need so many humans for." 2 1/2 min


"we can hack humans." 6 1/2 min
 
Eleven minutes in, this genius (Howe) tries to tell us that inflation is the Great Equalizer.

Only in that it brings about a collapse that wipes everyone out.

Short of that, Inflation is the result of money-printing, paid as seigniorage to the Rentier Class...their Free Money sucking the value out of those dollars belonging to savers and investors.

Anyone who thinks inflation is a savior...either works for FedGov or is controlled by them.

I just lost a lot of respect for this guy. I haven't read much of him; only the overview on the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. Which appears to be playing out, exactly.

But...inflating the currency, gonna save us? Did we learn NOTHING from forty years ago?

The Old Testament portrays King Solomon as the wisest of all men. In addition to recording his wisdom in the book of Proverbs while dealing with 700 wives and 300 concubines, he also became a chart-topping songwriter in the 1960s (some 3,000 years after his death) with a little help from Pete Seeger and the Byrds.

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) is borrowed almost entirely from Solomon’s Book of Ecclesiastes. People knew, even in the 10th century BC, that life had seasons, that the best and worst would come and go, then later return. It was a message that clearly resonated in the 1960s and would probably resonate now if today’s popular musical tastes allowed it.

Today we’ll continue reviewing Neil Howe’s magisterial new book, The Fourth Turning Is Here, focusing on the Millennial Generation’s important role in the coming crisis. Then we’ll think about what the crisis may look like. Finally—because I always try to look on the bright side—we’ll consider what Neil expects in the “First Turning” that will follow.
