Every generation has its moment of crisis. Whether we see that day come as a young adult or as an old elder of the community. No full life escapes the great gateways of societal change. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Learn more about generations in my article. Link in the bio! Plus check out my last few posts for more info on how history shapes generations and vise versa. #patternsoftruth #modernscience #demography #geopolitics #worldpolitics #geopolitica #historylesson #historyinpictures #historybooks #historynerds #archetypes #ancientwisdom #infographic #infographicdesign #infografis #infografik #worldhistory #worldpolitics #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #franklindroosevelt #sirwinstonchurchill #quotegram #historylessons #historyquotes #worldleaders #greatdepression #thenewdeal #newdeal #famousquotes (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKzrH7nAqV/?igshid=1asbdot2guh8p

Archetypes not only apply to individuals but also generations. Depending on a generations historical circumstances, they will be molded into one of the four Generational Archetypes. Now you might be thinking, this sounds as useful as mythology. Modern history and science have more value than this silly interpretation of society. But what if we’ve lost some of the most valuable lessons from ancient times because of our enamoration of modern science. Of course using science as our guiding principle, perhaps we can carefully distill the lessons ancient cultures and philosophies can teach us about how the world works. I’d argue that Generational Theory by Strauss and Howe does this. It’s an analysis of history through the combination of modern demography, economics, history, and sociology with the ancients’ mythology and cyclical perspective of time. This combination can give us more powerful insights to our societies than only relying on our modern interpretations.... 📍Link in the bio to my article on Generations Archetypes!!

Generational theory comes from the perspective that history is cyclical rather than linear in nature. These cycles of society have four main periods or Turnings as they call them that repeat over human history in the same cause-effect order over 80 years or so before repeating - the length of a long human life. . . The four Turnings are caused by generations' aging into their next phase of life (Growing up, Coming of age, Midlife, and Elderhood). Each generation has a particular set of attitudes and behaviors that are shaped by their location in history (eg. growing up during a crisis period vs. a high period). . . The societal Turnings last around 20 years each - about the length of a phase of life. Generations have four Archetypes just as society has four Turnings (periods). In this article I will be focused on society's Turnings. I will cover the generational archetypes and their relationship to the Turnings in my next article. . . Link in the bio to read my whole article on the Turnings of Strauss-Howe Generational Theory! . . William Strauss and Neil Howe’s books “Generations” and “The Fourth Turning” have been hailed by political leaders as diverse as former Vice President Al Gore to former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon (under President Donald Trump). . . It’s also been recommended by business leader Tony Robbins on both Tim Ferris and Lewis Howes’ podcast respectively. The book was introduced to Tony by former President Bill Clinton. . . Let me know in the comments what you think! Is their theory silly or does it have some merit? . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics #neilhowe #generationalwealth #generations #demography https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0yTlGBkaE/?igshid=17w51jsx7v5mc

The unfolding crisis is creating a lot of fear and panic. It’s brand new territory. Months ago, we knew what was happening for the most part. Now we find ourselves lost. . All of these emotions brewing inside of us can lead us astray. Now more than ever, we should be embodying stoic principles. . We might not be able to control our circumstances, but we can control our mind. Not driven by fear but instead reason. . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics #stoicism #stoic #stoicphilosophy #marcusaurelius #marcusaureliusquote #quotes #coronavid19 #coronavirus https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0xayKJW7t/?igshid=1273o4pt9eshp

The pandemic is serving as a trigger for a global economic crisis. Along with shutting the economy down to achieve social distancing, it's causing all the existing debt burdens from decades of borrowing to come to light. An economic depression was inevitable, it just needed a spark to light it. COVID isn't just the flint, it’s a ton of gasoline dumped on top too… . . Link in the bio to read my article that analyzes why the economic downturn was inevitable and how the coronavirus will serve to make everything in the economy and society a lot worse. . . What do you think will happen because of the coronavirus? Share your thoughts below, this is the time to express yourself and what you hope to see in spite of all the chaos. . . All of the information in this article comes from Ray Dalio. Dalio is the founder and co-chief investment officer of the most successful hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater. His insights and expertise on the economy and how it functions are indispensable. . . This article essentially summarizes Dalio’s views on what the COVID-19 crisis means for the economy and society. I strongly recommend watching his interview “What coronavirus means for the global economy | Ray Dalio” on youtube. . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics #coronavirus #covid19 #covid19 #coronavírus #coronavid19 #corona #raydalio #tedtalks https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0vzump-4f/?igshid=i3s734ci16fr

First diagnose the issue's root cause, then look for solutions to the cause. Rushing to solve an issue without proper investigation of the root causes leads to poor outcomes. . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0u3sRhRMl/?igshid=5572z65xs3ov

Understanding the macro economic cycles is vital to knowing where society stands currently and what to expect for the future.  The economy according to Ray Dalio has three major components. They are 1) productivity growth, 2) short term debt cycles, and 3) long term debt cycles. . . Most people are only familiar with the business cycle, which Dalio calls the short term debt cycle. It’s vital to be aware of the long term debt cycle as well. We’re not as aware about this economic cycle since it only needs correction every 50-75 years. The last major correction in the long term debt cycle was in 1929 that caused the great depression. . . Link in the bio to my article that quickly summarizes how the economy works (3 mins read). . . All of the information in this article comes from Ray Dalio. Dalio is the founder and co-chief investment officer of the most successful hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater. His insights and expertise on the economy and how it functions are indispensable. . . This article essentially summarizes his views on how the economy works. I strongly recommend also watching his video “How the Economic Machine Works by Ray Dalio” on youtube. . . So with this broad overview of how the economy works, where do you think we are in the long term debt cycle? . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics #raydalio #businesscycle #business #principles #debtcrisis (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0sVAIhrSq/?igshid=y8x0rc55l43y

In this age of disruption, a lot of institutions as well as political and cultural values will be questioned and some are perhaps in need of retooling to fit our needs moving forward. . . One value however, should never be up for debate; Freedom of Speech. If speech is controlled by a central authority it can be used to suppress groups of people far too easily. . . We must recognize that the power of Freedom of Speech is the cornerstone to a healthy democracy where the needs of the individual can be heard and judged for their merit. . . To be clear, freedom of speech is not an excuse to be hurtful for the sake of it. However, some necessary conversations may be painful to have. It’s the responsibility of individuals in society to police eachother in speech’s use, not governments. . . We need to be willing to have hard conversations that might be uncomfortable to untangle, now more than ever. It’s the only way forward. . . #patternsoftruth #economics #economy #crisis #history #historyinthemaking #psychology #philosophy #politics #jordanpeterson #jordanpetersonquotes #freespeech (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0qfnBhjpF/?igshid=3yiifpx6bq31
