Hero
Artist
Prophet
Nomad
Please let us discuss why those words were used in order to name the archetypes.
My thoughts generally are:
Heroes arrive in a Crisis to fix structural problems to save us
Artists enjoy the fruit of that fixing and are free to create for us
Prophets arrive in the most optimal time and offer personal revelation to us
Nomads are left with close to nothing when everything unraveled on us
REPEAT
The above is pretty much right from the book The Fourth Turning. Heroes fix. Artists create. Prophets reveal. Nomads roam. I would like to see some discussion about those words and their meaning -- in relation to how to describe the archetype. Those words mean something. The authors chose those words for a reason.
What are some of the pro and con of the archetypes based on those words? The authors even went into that.
Hero: strong in structure but lacking in vision
Prophet: strong in vision but lacking in structure
[those are paraphrased but nonetheless]
Those are the two I remember the most. What does anyone think?
