Together, these create recurring historical seasons—High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis—that reshape society roughly every 80–90 years.🔑 In this episode, you’ll discover:How the High → Awakening → Unraveling → Crisis cycle has repeated across centuries.Why Neil Howe predicted a new Fourth Turning (Crisis) starting in the early 2000s—and what that means for us today.The four generational archetypes and how they shape history.Why some see this theory as a powerful framework for making sense of chaos—while critics call it “pseudoscience” or a “historical horoscope.”How past crises like the American Revolution, Civil War, and WWII compare to today’s turbulent moment.What might come after this crisis: a new civic renewal and institutional rebirth.Whether you see The Fourth Turning as brilliant insight or flawed determinism, its influence on politics, culture, and even global strategy is undeniable. 🌍 This episode gives you a clear, accessible breakdown of the theory, its history, its critics, and why it’s striking a chord again in 2025.👉 Watch now to understand the patterns behind today’s uncertainty—and maybe glimpse what comes next.#TheFourthTurning #StraussHowe #GenerationalTheory #historyrepeats #NeilHowe #aipodcast #aianalysispodcast #books #goodbooks #ai #aianalysis #aretemedia #ushistory #americanhistory #worldhistory #ww2 #trump #donaldtrump
