So you've missed not only the first key to wisdom, you miss the second as well.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves and the world around us.

I've studied Idealism, which is how I concluded it was ridiculous.

ETA:

I thought I was on your ignore list.  That thing only works if you actually ignore me.  

There have certainly been a lot of your posts to ignore lately

And I have.

Your debates are silly, because all you do is dispute words and throw insults. You can't comprehend a point that someone makes.

By your own standards, you have no wisdom. And to be wrong in your eyes, is to be right.

You don't understand idealism; you didn't define it in your post. You defined solipcism.

The only point here being that your mega-saeculum can't be right, because you omit idealism from your awareness of the trends in society, generations and events. Thus, you think The Great Power Saeculum was an awakening, because some ideologies were current during it (the one's you mentioned weren't even begun during it). But ideology is not idealism, and it is not awakening. And all those ideologies you mentioned are materialist, collectivist ideologies, which are NOT what come in Awakenings. Awakenings are spiritual events, primarily; that's what they were in US history, and that's why they were called Great Awakenings. You deny Transcendentalism too, because that's idealism. Awakenings are also centered on individualism, not collectivism. If you deny that spirituality and idealism even exist, as you plainly do, then you can't account for what happens in the US saeculum cycle.
