s in, I guess Steve Bannon's a big promoter of this. There's a book by that name. How many believe there's an 80-year-old natural cycle in the world in which different generations act differently depending on what situation they're born into and that the 80-year series is repeated and predictable? How many buy that that is telling you something useful and predictable? The predictable part is the important part. It's easy to fit any history to any pattern. Do you all know that? You could come up with any kind of weird way to interpret things and history usually bears it out. But it's useless if it can't predict. So hindcasting is easy but then say, okay, if now we understand the world we can predict what will happen. But they can't do the predicting part which means that the hindcasting wasn't especially useful.

All right. Somebody says read Generations, the history of American future. The same authors, right, as The Fourth Turning. But here's my take. So I did a shallow dive on this. According to my shallow dive I would say the 80-year cycle is closer to astrology than anything to worry about because I think it comes down to civilization goes through periods of lots of change and that war is often part of that. I mean I'm not sure this is adding anything because it's not predictive at all. If you tell me that the Fourth Turning can predict, I tell you anybody can predict sometime in the next 20 years it'll be like a big up. What do you think? Do you think I got it right? Yea
