My guess at a conceivable time line for the USA. This assumes that for the USA this 4T remains relatively mild. Also, note that Strauss and Howe anticipated a "Crisis of 2100".
A. Current 4T-Crisis of 2020.
B. Weak 1T.
C. (Mild?) 2T.
D. 3T.
E. Projected Crisis of 2100
F. 1T
G. 2T
One of my assumptions is that a weak 1T will mean that there is less for New Prophets to react against, compared to a "High" with highly hubristic Civics.
Another of my assumptions is that the human lifespan remains more or less the same. So the turnings beyond 2100 are ones I listed mechanically. By the early 22nd century I expect current generations to be nearly gone. Any of today's children who survive to that time will be extremely old. Like, super centarians.
I am not even going to try to guess what the themes will be for a 22ND century 2T. That time is too far out for me make informed predictions.
And really, trying to write about the early 22nd century seems like science fiction.
