Who has read"the Fourth turning" ? Is it book you would recommend to a Bitcoiner or is it mainly already common knowledge under Bitcoiners?
Discussion
I've read it and it's a good thesis, but I found the book tedious and repetitive. It was published in the 1990s, before we had entered the current fourth turning that we are living through right now, so it was mainly predictive. It is probably common knowledge now since we are living it! I just saw that this new book on the fourth turning will be coming out soon and I do look forward to reading it: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Fourth-Turning-Is-Here/Neil-Howe/9781982173739
That was what I suspected, I feel like I know and processed the thesis already, will probably skim through it nonetheless.
It hasn’t been discussed in a couple years. But I’ve personally been talking about it lately to some friends. Not something you can just bring up.
“Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and the twin emergencies of the Great Depression in World War II. The risk of catastrophe will be high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort — in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” (The Fourth Turning, Strauss & Howe, 1997)

I'd say its worth the read.
If you haven't already read The Fourth Turning by Neil Howe; you're lacking some critical information. 📚
