I have read the Fourth Turning, did so almost immediately when I heard it was Bannon's favorite book after Trump first won in 2016. I was skeptical at first that there are cycles of history but the argument was well presented. If it is correct, it is a scary thing because the GenZ kids of today are not the saviors of a thing. This means that circumstances will become much worse for them to redeem it all. Yikes.

And yes, without a doubt, you're kids are well educated and dont' act the way that the generation as a whole does, I did address that in the post. Painting with a broad brush means that you color some who don't deserve it. For now, though, I stand by the indictment on the generation as a whole.

Have you read The Fourth Turning Is Here: What the Seasons of History Tell Us about How and When This Crisis Will End by Neil Howe?

Interesting read on where we are in the cycle. Surprise Gen Z will same us???

My kids are Gen Z and they are not at all what you write about, but that is because they were taught critical thinking and how challenge. I interviewed my daughter on the podcast 6 years ago when she was 16 about what that looks like.

So what are you doing differently with your kids?
