Haven’t read the fourth turning. Tempted. But if I’m picking the lenses then I can show whatever I want. That and the basic determinism behind it keep me from jumping in.

The audience is highly prejudicial. No one would be tempted to read it if they felt they were occupying the first or second turning. It’s the belief that we’re in that terminal stage that drives the seeking out of that sort of material, which means you’re just seeking material to justify an already held position.
