Super-elders

Boomers don't. They care about a 2T. We've been in a stagnant 1T-like condition for 40 years now. We need a new 2T pretty soon. Prophets are supposed to be disappearing but not absent in a 1T.

In Strauss & Howe's book, they discuss how eightyish Transcendentals inspired the young missionaries.

Obama might be influential during the 2T, he was born in the early 60s, so he might still be alive in 2050. But he is so popular with Millennials, so will the young rebels against the Millennial world-order want to listen to him? What could he have to say that Millennials won't say?

Yay, Bush is the winner! He can be a super-elder during the 1T, if he follows his father's lead and lives beyond 90. And it's not illogical to imagine 100-year-old Dubya speaking to excited young neo-Missionaries in 2046. Isn't that great to see an ancient warrior, who fought terrorists back in the Industrial Age?

Stephen King, as a cultural super-elder? Would the new prophetic generation see some spiritual truth in his writings?

Judge yourself, you're better at this than a Nomad/Civic hybrid like me:
