Yes or No or "What the hell is a Fourth Turning"...?? (Asking for a friend)..
I would like to see the chronology to show me where it has happened in the past. Show me the first three turnings chronologically to get to the Fourth, and how many times is has happened in what? Almost 250 years?
What can I say? I'm from Missouri.
They skipped a generation in between boomers and millennials...typical

I thought once was the correct answer.The 4th turning is how many times per hour you turn meat on grill...everybody knows that !
In the book they go back to the War of the Roses if memory serves me.I'm not that smart. I had to look it up, and there was way more to read than I wanted to do right now. Here is a synopsis and a link. Apparently a couple of guys wrote a book and this was their philosophy,
In recent years the world has progressively been pulled apart by social and geopolitical tensions. Conflict has increased all around the globe, as volatility and uncertainty has become the norm. Much of this discord, according to Neil Howe and William Strauss (authors of Generations and The Fourth Turning), stems from a generational change. As the baby boomers begin to retire and conclude their time in power, the millennial generation is starting to challenge the status quo.
In the following post, applying principles of the Fourth Turning theory, we try to understand what this transition in power has in store for us – in the 2020s and beyond.

I don't view it as generational, but as a Natural Cycle......roughly 75 years duration.
We are always forgotten. We do get a small mention when he breaks down the 4 archetypes. I did find this part interesting.
I can't recite the dates of each turning from memory. The dates of each generation are squishy. I was born in 58 so I am at the tail end of the Boomers. The wife born in 61 is a Gen X. I was 10 in 68 when Woodstock happened ( Boomers coming to age).This isn't the first time I've read about this theory. I guess it goes along with the fact that history is bound to repeat itself.
Looking at that article you posted - they just cite time periods of the end of cycle?
End-Of-Cycle Fourth Turnings In Anglo-American History
- Glorious Revolution (1688-1689)
- American Revolution (1765-1783)
- American Civil War (1861-1865)
- Great Depression and World War II (1930s to early 1940s)
- Great Recession of 2008 until 20??
I don't think we have too many Gen Xers here. I'm sure there's others but @Hooch @DrJenner and myself are the only ones i can think of off the top of my head. Probably Hashbrown too. There may be a few who are riding the line between Gen X and boomers...We are always forgotten. We do get a small mention when he breaks down the 4 archetypes. I did find this part interesting.
- The four archetypes include…
- Prophets (idealist) – come of age as self-absorbed young crusaders in an Awakening, when they attack institutional life in the name of personal and spiritual autonomy. (today’s Baby Boomers)
- Nomads (reactive) – come of age as alienated young adults in an Unraveling, during which time institutions are weak and distrusted, and individualism is strong and flourishing. (today’s Generation X)
- Heroes (civic) – come of age as team-oriented young optimists in a Crisis, when institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation’s survival. (today’s Millennials)
- Artists (adaptive) – come of age as socialized and conformist young adults in a High, during which time institutions are strong and individualism is weak. (today’s Generation Z or “Homelanders”)
Born 1965-1980 you know, us youngin'sWhat age ranges is an gen x?

This is not a light topic nor is it casually considered.
I don't think most understand what a very-very-very dangerous thing America is doing.
Infact it is clear to me that most don't even know what is happening.
.."What the hell is a Fourth Turning"...??
