S&H never game an explicit cause for their cycle... but why? To get answer this I turn the focus to politics, in which the formative events are political moments are the generations are political generations, that function very similarly to the core generation concept as we shall see. I shift to politics for two reasons. The first is a discussion I had with Marc Lamb, whom some of you remember as a troll. He was that, but he was more and he and I had productive discussions in his early years over 2001-2003... Marc liked my economic stuff, but argued that politics, not economics was the key to the saeculum because all facets of the social world, economics, politics, religion, morals, in short, culture, are represented in one’s politics.
Ah, yes, I remember the discussions well. What an obnoxious, trolling Cassandra I was! How dare this right-wing nutcase proclaim no S&H 4T present following 9/11?
lol.
Many years pass... nearly twenty years later was the former Devil's Advocate woefully right, or trollingly [sic] wrong?
You were right, yes. But why exactly did you think 9/11 "wasn't it"? We want to know.
(Thinking about it, since the Silent Cheney was the real brain in the WH, it explains why we got the complicated and expensive Homeland bureaucracy, but no real solution.)
