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.
The next 1T will be "weak" in the sense that there will be less consensus, and still some activism and controversy rather than boring conformity.
We have fallen so far back from the Consciousness Revolution Awakening, that there's mountains and oceans of awakening still due in the next 2T. A society, state and culture that has been fast asleep for 40 years will need another break, and another breakthrough when it finally comes. But I will agree that the next 2T will be somewhat milder or mellower in tone than the late sixties.
I wrote about the 22nd century in my book. Astrology gives a good peak.
