I first thought to write this as a multi-part series, but I finally decided to group everything together as it wouldn’t do justice to this article. There’s a lot to unpack when discussing the ongoing societal changes, and I feel I barely touched on anything but the essence of that. Even then, standing at more than 6000 words, and spending nearly 10 full waking days refining it, the scope of what we’re witnessing feels almost too vast to capture in any single piece.
The Fourth Turning doesn’t reveal itself gradually—it crashes over you all at once when you finally start to see the pattern. Writing this piece felt like trying to grab sand in my hands; every attempt to contain one aspect of the transformation led to three more slipping through my fingers......
The Fourth Turning suggests we have about five more years of Crisis before resolution.
Five years of increasing chaos, conflict, and transformation.
Five years that will feel like fifty.
Five years that will determine the next fifty.
Are you ready?
The storm is here.
The old world is dying.
The new world awaits.
What are you going to do about it?
