One full saeculum (3T/4T cusp to another)... and 1929 and 2007 are the beginnings of nasty meltdowns with much the same cause. Different culture and technology, and people had no clue.

Maybe the pop culture of a couple years from now will have similarities to that of the Big Band Era. Probably the best pop music ever, reflecting the omnibus culture of the late 1930s. Pixar and Dreamworks films seem to fit the model -- movies that an entire family can see together without going over the heads of the children or insulting the sensibilities of the sophisticated.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
