What are your thoughts on the 18-year theory/Michael Alexander theory when it comes to generations? In my opinion, it seems to be the least controversial:

1802-1819: Transcendental Generation
1820-1837: Gilded Generation
1838-1855: Bleeding Generation
1856-1873: Progressive Generation
Great Power Saeculum
1874-1891: Idealists
1892-1909: Automobile Generation
1910-1927: GI Generaiton
1928-1945: Silent Generation
Millennial Saeculum
1946-1963: Baby Boomers
1964-1981: Generation X
1982-1999: Millennials
2000-2017: Homelanders
Post-Millennial Saeculum
2018-2035: Neo-Prophets
2036-2053: Unnamed nomad generation
2054-2071: Unnamed hero generation
