He left off an even more important 250yr cycle which is the revolutionary cycle that can be world wide. The last time we went through this was our own revolutionary war....similarly, France went through it also you might recall. Next one is due
right now....more important, it's do to happen at the same time as all these other cycles converge. In fact, there's even a longer cycle converging to the down side...and that's the 400 year heating/cooling cycle on earth. Libtards are selling the idea
that earth heating is bad, bu t that's all bullshit....if you match up these cycles on earth, a warmer earth is tied to very productive times, while a cooling earth is responsible for less productive crops, war, and much disease spreading. On top of that
there is a the civilization cycle every couple thousand years or so....the last civilization to fall was Rome.....before that there was the Bronze age end of civilization which maybe involved comet pieces hitting causing great floods, large volcano
eruptions that forces the Sea People to raid the Mediterranean city states as talked about in the bible and utterly destroying the trade network that involved the trade of tin used in bronze. The egyptians finally beat the sea peoples, but at huge cost
and they had problems recovering.
Very interesting observations added to interesting observations. It is
a shame such conversations seem impossible on this site.
Maybe this site is a small example needed to illustrate the sort of
catastrophic events ahead.
Well, I first heard about cycles years ago after watching some video of an investment guy talking about S curve adoption and predicting the market based on a combo of generational size and purches at the peak of the largest generation. That led me to
learn about Kondratiev waves....which led me to Neil Howe who has now wrote a number of books on what he calls the "Fourth Turning". That was years ago. Since, then people seem to be catching on and more websites are talking about it. A lot of it seems
pretty valid though I think the years of a generation can be off a few years. Will be interesting my grandparents being the hero generation and now my kids are supposed to be the next hero generation.
My father was born in 1902 and my mother in 1909 ... neither was
"educated" in our terms. They were married on the weekend before "Black Monday" 1929. Dad did not lose his job during the depression (working
for the railroad) and built a house in 1932 on Archer Avenue in
Shreveport, Louisiana. They both lived in that house until they both
died. My mother was a local little theatre actress and homemaker mother.
My did became an accountant and later was General Auditor of Cities
Service Oil Company (actually audited H.L. Hunt one time). Retired when Cities Service became CITGO ... but we all spent three months every
summer at Miami Beach while he audited Orange State Oil.
My brother was born in 1935 and as my father required, he got an
engineering degree. [He always said he could make an auditor out of an engineer but no one could make an engineer out of an auditor.] My
brother started at Texas Instruments when there were 100 engineers on
Lemon Avenue in Dallas ... ultimately, he was Comptroller and taught as
well at SMU. He is 98 and rides his bicycle 10 or 15 miles a day in
Dallas. [He is friends with Mauldin and he is a very good financial advisor.]
I was the surprise in 1945 a week or so after V.E. day. I am 78 and
until June 5 of this year, I was quite the man my brother is [T-bone collision ... I hope I recover, but there are issues that might be permanent.]. Any way, I had to get an engineering degree too ... [I am a professional engineer] and started my career at TI for a few months
before my four year active duty tour with the USAF [my brother did his
tour in Japan] ... a couple of years in Florida at Martin Marietta and
then finally back to LSU for my JD and practicing law in Alexandria (actually all of central Louisiana) for 40 years. [I got an MBA right
after my BSEE.]
I was raised Roman Catholic and went to Catholic schools until college,
but could not combine science and religion and spent some time with
several variants and really liked Episcopalians (Catholic-light) and eventually ... I currently believe there is good and evil and all sorts
of in-between ... but I am not the one to put my beliefs onto others.
I wish I could put off the upcoming hard times. I would like to
continue to see the world on ships ... the best value in travel IMO. I
have a beautiful wife and lovely children (and steps too ...even three great-grands).
I wish this group could stop the political horror and just express what
they "believe" to be useful for us to learn about.
Maybe like this thread right here. Peace
Both sets of my grandparents had interesting stories with kids. My dad was born 9 months exactly after Pearl Harbor, but then had to wait until after the war to have my aunt in 1946. My other grandparents also had my uncle a year after pearl harbor
and then got my grandparents got pregnant with my mother while he was back in the states for a while and then returned to finish out the war, his last combat mission being the day before VE day and my mother was born later in the summer of 45. My mother'
s dad was a top engineer for Fluor after the war and continued to work into his 80's. He lasted all the way to 2014.
