The four are hunter gatherer, Agricultural, Industrial, Information. The weapons are rocks, swords, gunpowder and nukes. Power is provided by humans, animals, steam engines and renewable. Information is stored by memory, writing, printing, computer networks.

I like them too, and think they apply in Planetary Dynamics, which just fills those four in with a few more. I note too that Spiral Dynamics basically misses the Agricultural (which I call the Venus meme), and lumps it in with their imperial epoch of the "power gods" meme, which I call the Mars meme.

Two more agricultural-age meme eras followed, the Jupiter (centered on the religious-dominant, Age of Faith as Will Durant called it), and the Saturn (the age of secular kings and early-modern Renaissance era).
