I had a friend that professed intense red tendencies, but he was my best friend and I did not care. Inwardly and privately, he was much more blue than red. I never understood. He was Rush and Fox.
HOWEVER, he was turning the age to collect social security. I challenged him about the idea:
Social Security benefits, retirement, the whole thing, it was all created by blue people. In fact, if those programs were on the table at that time, he himself, my friend, would do everything he could to help kill it. Yet, a whole Saeculum cycle later, after SS was created and implemented before my friend was even born, he was relishing the time approaching when he would retire.
It makes no sense. And that, to me, kind of proved my idea that one half of prophet/boomer fears the face of the coming changes, and that is why they resist so strongly.
"PLEASE JUST DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING"
Now, as with the entire theories of the books playing out, a thing prophet/boomer tried to burn down (things created by their Hero nemesises aligned with the Artists - their parents, basically) are fully enjoyed BY the prophet/boomer and then will likely fail by the time Nomad gets old enough to try to use them.
one small example of their authors' uncanny insight
