Since then though they are stick-in-the-mud conservatives bent on protecting their position. So they did not become prophetic leaders as elders, but went silent again, and that's why it was a 3T and not a 4T.
So these Boomerish ideas mattered for Silents only during their midlife crisis? Starts to make sense now. I had a quarter-life crisis in 2006-9, and investigated some New Age stuff like lucid dreaming back then.
I would say so, although to be fair, to call them "Boomerish ideas" is only valid from our latter-time point of view. It was Silents (especially Boomer cuspers, but not limited to them) who created a lot of the ideas, movements and arts that the Boomers latched on to, were inspired by, and further developed.
