Podcasts about fourth turning

Don and Tom kick off this episode with a satirical bang—mocking the apocalyptic tone of a MarketWatch article about the “Fourth Turning,” a cyclical doom prophecy claiming America faces a cataclysmic reset every 80–100 years. Citing wars, depressions, and now AI, wealth taxes, and the fall of the dollar, the hosts break down the fatalistic tone, expose the fear-marketing behind it, and reassure listeners that, historically, markets have recovered—and rewarded long-term investors. 0:04 Faux alien warning: the Fourth Turning economic apocalypse is coming 1:16 Dissecting the MarketWatch article and the “Fourth Turning” theory 2:26 Peak catastrophe by 2030?

This episode is presented by Create A Video – As predicted in "The Fourth Turning" book from 1997, Neil Howe predicted a nullification crisis would animate the fourth period in the cycle of civilizations. As we see Democrat officials refusing to cooperate with, and in some cases, rebel against federal immigration enforcement, makes me think this is the issue that sparks the crisis.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Part 2 of Chapter 8, exploring the Boomer generation's rise into midlife power and the cultural shifts that reshaped America. From the “yuppie” era and Reagan's political influence to the moral fervor and spiritual awakenings of the 1990s, Ashe and CannCon connect Strauss and Howe's generational theory to today's world with humor and sharp insight. They discuss the parallels between then and now—revived faith movements, the redefinition of family values, the culture wars, and the roots of modern polarization. The hosts also weave in their signature banter over fantasy football, gold prices, and soft disclosure ads, blending intellect with entertainment in classic Badlands fashion.

Andy Schectman returns to the Friday Night Economic Review. First we discuss the biometric ID program recently rolled out in Vietnam and reports that 86 million “non-compliant” bank accounts were shut down. We talk plainly about what that means — who gains power, who loses freedom, and how ID systems plus payment rails can be used to enforce compliance. Vietnam is a blue print for what will be rolled out everywhere. Then we step back into the long view with Strauss & Howe's Fourth Turning — the idea that nations cycle through seasons and we're now in the last stage marked by decadence and decay.

CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapter 8 of The Fourth Turning, diving into the unraveling era of 1984–2005 and the rise of America's culture wars. They explore how Reagan's “Morning in America” optimism masked deep societal fragmentation, from Apple's 1984 Super Bowl ad to the rise of niche identities and the collapse of shared civic trust. The conversation tracks how Americans shifted from collective institutions to personal fulfillment, spawning tribalism, declining faith in government, and the birth of a politics of meaning. From the O.J. Simpson trial to the Oklahoma City bombing, the chapter reveals how conspiracy theories, cultural clashes, and moral polarization redefined the era. CannCon and Ashe break down the generational archetypes, Silent, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and how each played a role in America's unraveling, setting the stage for the crises to come. With sharp insight and humor, they connect Strauss and Howe's theory to today's chaos, asking what lessons the unraveling holds for the storm ahead.

Gerardo highlighted tragedies abroad and political dysfunction at home—Republicans blocking Epstein file transparency, the Supreme Court greenlighting racial profiling, and escalating violence across regions. Nick reminded listeners that while the chaos is real, the design is to divide and distract. The lesson: focus inward—on family, community, and personal resilience—while tuning out the noise. Levity came via county fairs and Beaver Creek banter, but the underlying theme is clear: this Fourth Turning is intensifying. Stay level-headed.Market Takes - From Beaver Creek to Denver, sentiment is bullish. Attendance, deal-making, and even wine shortages confirmed we're in a real bull market. Gold set fresh highs near $3,700 before consolidating around $3,600—now likely a new floor. Silver broke decisively through $42, signaling higher levels ahead. Rate cuts and re-accelerating inflation are tailwinds, alongside central bank and even Tether buying. Copper, meanwhile, has rebounded sharply post-tariff reversal and continues tracking in a long-term bullish channel, supported by U.S. critical metals policy and AI-driven infrastructure demand. As Nick put it: “The charts are up and to the right.”Bizarro Banter - Headlines keep proving the name of this podcast right. Political violence, Epstein cover-ups, tribalism stoked on both sides—yet markets rip higher. Politicians provide theater while debt climbs past $37 trillion. The “cleanest dirty shirt” argument persists, but fiat erosion is by design. Don't confuse a bull market for brains, but recognize that the setup is historic.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation, about the rise of peer-to-peer dynamics, the historical cycles shaping our present, and the struggles and possibilities of building resilient communities in times of crisis. The conversation moves through the evolution of the internet from Napster to Web3, the cultural shifts since 1968, Bauwens' personal experiences with communes and his 2018 cancellation, and the emerging vision of cosmolocalism and regenerative villages as alternatives to state and market decline. For more on Michel's work, you can explore his Substack at 4thgenerationcivilization.substack.com and the extensive P2P Foundation Wiki at wiki.p2pfoundation.net.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Michel Bauwens explains peer-to-peer as both computer design and social relationship, introducing trans-local association and the idea of an anthropological revolution.05:00 Discussion of Web1, Web3, encryption, anti-surveillance, cozy web, and dark forest theory, contrasting early internet openness with today's fragmentation.10:00 Bauwens shares his 2018 cancellation, deplatforming, and loss of funding after a dispute around Jordan Peterson, reflecting on identity politics and peer-to-peer pluralism.15:00 The cultural shifts since 1968, the rise of identity movements, macro-historical cycles, and the fourth turning idea of civilizational change are unpacked.20:00 Memories of 1968 activism, communes, free love, hypergamy, and the collapse of utopian experiments, showing the need for governance and rules in cooperation.25:00 From communes to neo-Reichian practices, EST seminars, and lessons of human nature, Bauwens contrasts failed free love with lasting models like kibbutzim and Bruderhof.30:00 Communes that endure rely on transcendence, religious or ideological foundations, and Bauwens points to monasteries as models for resilience in times of decline.35:00 Cycles of civilization, overuse of nature, class divisions, and the threat of social unrest frame a wider reflection on populism, Eurasian vs Western models, and culture wars.40:00 Populism in Anglo vs continental Europe, social balance, Christian democracy, and the contrast with market libertarianism in Trump and Milei.45:00 Bauwens proposes cosmolocalism, regenerative villages, and bioregional alliances supported by Web3 communities like Crypto Commons Alliance and Ethereum Localism.50:00 Historical lessons from the Roman era, monasteries, feudal alliances, and the importance of reciprocity, pragmatic alliances, and preparing for systemic collapse.55:00 Localism, post-political collaboration, Ghent urban commons, Web3 experiments like Zuzalu, and Bauwens' resources: fortcivilizationsubstack.com and wiki.p2pfoundation.net.Key InsightsMichel Bauwens frames peer-to-peer not just as a technical design but as a profound social relationship, what he calls an “anthropological revolution.” Like the invention of writing or printing, the internet created trans-local association, allowing people across the globe to coordinate outside of centralized control.The conversation highlights the cycles of history, drawing from macro-historians and the “fourth turning” model. Bauwens explains how social movements rise, institutionalize, and collapse, with today's cultural polarization echoing earlier waves such as the upheavals of 1968. He sees our era as the end of a long cycle that began after World War II.Bauwens shares his personal cancellation in 2018, when posting a video about Jordan Peterson triggered accusations and led to deplatforming, debanking, and professional exclusion. He describes this as deeply traumatic, forcing him to rethink his political identity and shift his focus to reciprocity and trust in smaller, resilient networks.The episode revisits communes and free love experiments of the 1970s, where Bauwens lived for years. He concludes that without governance, rules, and shared transcendence, these communities collapse into chaos. He contrasts them with enduring models like the Bruderhof, kibbutzim, and monasteries, which rely on structure, ideology, or religion to survive.A major theme is populism and cultural polarization, with Bauwens distinguishing between Anglo-Saxon populism rooted in market libertarianism and continental populism shaped by Christian democratic traditions. The former quickly loses support by privileging elites, while the latter often maintains social balance through family and worker policies.Bauwens outlines his vision of cosmolocalism and regenerative villages, where “what's heavy is local, what's light is global.” He argues that bioregionalism combined with Web3 technologies offers a practical way to rebuild resilient communities, coordinate globally, and address ecological and social breakdown.Finally, the episode underscores the importance of pragmatic alliances across political divides. Bauwens stresses that survival and flourishing in times of systemic collapse depend less on ideology and more on reciprocity, concrete projects, and building trust networks that can outlast declining state and market systems.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe, unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the Awakening era. From the GI Generation's confidence after WWII to the Silent Generation's contradictions and the Boomers' rebellious rise, this discussion draws striking parallels to today's upheavals. They trace how Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights battles, and shifting family dynamics set the stage for generational conflict and cultural realignment, while also exploring how children of the 1960s and 70s were shaped by fractured homes, Hollywood's anti-child narratives, and a society growing hostile to traditional structures. With humor, historical insight, and a sharp eye on how these cycles echo into the present, CannCon and Ashe help listeners see the patterns that repeat, and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

This episode is about a fascinating book titled the 4th Turning. According to the book we are deep in the winter or crisis season of history's cycle — and if you think things are crazy now, you better buckle up because over the next 5-years things are about to get a whole lot crazier, and possibly even darker. In this episode, I break down the cycles of history and why we are living through one of the most critical moments in human history.Website: The Unplugged HumanWatch this episode on Youtube Get a copy of The Unplugged JournalGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comField Guide 9 (a group I conduct ceremonies for) - WebsiteDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Chapter 7, exploring how the GI, Silent, and Boomer generations shaped America's trajectory from post–World War II prosperity into the turbulence of the Consciousness Revolution. They trace the rise of the GI “We Generation,” the Silent Generation's conformity and cautious prosperity, and the Boomers' emergence as the idealistic prophets of cultural change. From the optimism of the 1950s to the upheavals of the 1960s and 70s, the hosts map how each archetype responded to shifting challenges, laying the groundwork for the awakenings and crises to follow. Dense, thought-provoking, and highly relevant, this chapter brings historical rhythm into focus while hinting at where we might be headed today.

"It comes back to that basic understanding that a monetary unit of fixed supply did not exist before Bitcoin. That's the key. That's the insight people need to get their heads around" LISTEN TO "THE BIG PRINT": https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Big-Print-Audiobook/B0F2NBRB4Q In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by legendary investor and sound money advocate Lawrence “Larry” Lepard to break down the global macro storm that's unfolding right now. Larry explains why the U.S. is trapped in a debt doom loop, how shadow yield curve control signals stealth money printing, and why inflation is set to roar back harder in 2025. We dive into the national debt passing $37 trillion, M2 growth, bond yields, and why fiat currencies everywhere are failing faster than most people realize. Larry also unpacks the historical patterns of gold leading inflation waves while Bitcoin follows with explosive gains, and why Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement. Together, Walker and Larry connect the dots between the Fourth Turning, long-term debt cycles, political instability, AI, and Bitcoin—showing how all cycles are converging toward a historic reset. If you want to understand why Larry Lepard believes Bitcoin and gold are the lifeboats in a sinking fiat Titanic—and why this decade could bring the biggest wealth transfer in history—this is a must-watch. What you'll learn: - Why U.S. debt and deficits guarantee higher inflation ahead - How M2 growth, bond yields, and Fed/Treasury actions reveal the truth - Why Bitcoin and gold are the best protection in the coming reset - How the Fourth Turning, anacyclosis, and debt cycles converge with Bitcoin - Larry's price outlook for gold ($4,000) and Bitcoin ($140k+) by end of 2025 - Why “nothing stops this train”—and how to prepare your family.

The panel opened with reflections on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent violent events, framing them through the lens of The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe.Discussion on how history moves in ~80–100 year cycles of crisis and renewal, with Bitcoin and decentralized protocols potentially forming the backbone of the next institutional order.John emphasized perspective, comparing today's turmoil with past upheavals (1960s, 1970s, World Wars), and highlighted the role of media saturation in shaping perceptions.Panelists praised Kirk's willingness to debate respectfully, lamenting the erosion of open dialogue in society.Shifted to macro: China's gold accumulation as a hedge against dollar hegemony, interpreted as part of a global move toward neutral reserve assets—gold today, Bitcoin tomorrow.Deep dive into U.S. financial surveillance: the inefficiencies of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and threats of extending the Patriot Act to digital assets. Panelists argued KYC/AML laws are largely ineffective at stopping crime but very effective at surveilling citizens.Highlighted the DOJ's case against Samourai Wallet as an example of U.S. hostility toward Bitcoin privacy tools.Covered this week's major supply-chain attack on NPM packages, noting minimal impact but using it as a PSA: always verify addresses on hardware wallets and beware phishing scams.Tether launched a U.S.-regulated stablecoin (USAT). The panel explored how this intersects with the Genius Act, which would require stablecoin reserves to be in U.S. Treasuries, effectively creating a new forced buyer of U.S. debt.Quick hits: MicroStrategy denied S&P 500 inclusion (for now), BLS quietly revised U.S. job numbers down by 900k, Gemini goes public, and Michael Saylor positions MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin capital markets” play.

"This is the time for bravery. It's the time for courage. It's the time for more speech. It's the time to self-censor even less because it's too important." A raw, urgent round-table with American HODL, Eric Cason, and Guy Swann on the cultural fracture following the killing of Charlie Kirk—and why speech, not violence, is the only way out. The crew wrestles with grief and anger, the “banality of evil,” media incentives, and why debate on campus matters. Then they pivot to Bitcoin as a non-violent, property-rights-based “third way”: a cultural exit from nihilism and the fiat feedback loop that funds endless political escalation. You'll hear Gerard, Foucault, and Fourth Turning riffs alongside practical calls for courage, organizing, and orange-pilling your local community. Heavy, hopeful, and very human.

01:00:51 – Trump's Drone Strike: Murder or Self-Defense?Trump orders a drone strike on a Venezuelan “drug boat,” killing 11. Critics across the legal spectrum say it violated U.S. and international law, crossing into assassination and setting a dangerous precedent. 01:05:49 – Culture of Hate & Political ViolenceDiscussion pivots to Charlie Kirk's assassination and America's growing culture of hate. The point is made that censorship, not speech, breeds hate—and hate ultimately leads to violence and murder. 01:13:48 – Venezuela, Oil & Trump's Strongman BoastingTrump brags about frightening fishermen after the drone strike. Commentators argue this is cover for a Venezuela oil grab, comparing Trump to past “strongmen” and condemning J.D. Vance for glorifying extrajudicial killings. 01:25:28 – China War ScenariosHeritage Foundation “war games” on Taiwan are dissected.

01:00:51 – Trump's Drone Strike: Murder or Self-Defense?Trump orders a drone strike on a Venezuelan “drug boat,” killing 11. Critics across the legal spectrum say it violated U.S. and international law, crossing into assassination and setting a dangerous precedent. 01:05:49 – Culture of Hate & Political ViolenceDiscussion pivots to Charlie Kirk's assassination and America's growing culture of hate. The point is made that censorship, not speech, breeds hate—and hate ultimately leads to violence and murder. 01:13:48 – Venezuela, Oil & Trump's Strongman BoastingTrump brags about frightening fishermen after the drone strike. Commentators argue this is cover for a Venezuela oil grab, comparing Trump to past “strongmen” and condemning J.D. Vance for glorifying extrajudicial killings. 01:25:28 – China War ScenariosHeritage Foundation “war games” on Taiwan are dissected.

01:00:42 – Opening & 9/11 UpdatesThe show opens by marking September 11, 2025, with reflections on 9/11 anniversaries and pivots immediately to breaking news: the assassination of Charlie Kirk and NATO's escalations in Europe. 01:02:09 – Charlie Kirk's Murder & Free SpeechDiscussion on the killing of Charlie Kirk, focusing on his young family, his role in encouraging open debate on campuses, and how his assassination reflects the dangers of a violent culture that equates speech with violence. 01:17:00 – Media's Reaction to Kirk ShootingAnalysis of MSNBC's coverage, accused of exploiting Kirk's assassination for partisan narratives, contrasted with CNN and Fox News' restrained reporting. Media bias and political exploitation of violence are central themes. 01:27:00 – Rising Political ViolenceA segment on the “Fourth Turning” cycle: five assassination attempts within a year, including Kirk, Trump, and others. The speakers warn this trend reflects America's descent into normalized political violence and deepening civil conflict. 01:50:07 – NATO Drone Crisis & War PushFocus shifts to Poland and NATO, with claims that Prime Minister Donald Tusk is using stray Russian drones as a pretext to escalate toward World War III. Parallels are drawn to Syria and false-flag provocations. 02:08:45 – New World Order & Health CrisisEuropean Commission's Ursula von der Leyen is quoted warning of a looming global health crisis, framed as another opportunity to centralize power. The hosts tie this rhetoric to broader themes of globalism, technocracy, and “New World Order” ambitions. 02:14:17 – Shooter Linked to Radical LeftReports suggest the Charlie Kirk assassin was a college-aged radical, with universities described as “Marxist seminaries” fueling violent ideology. 02:18:41 – Civil War TrapWarnings that both parties are pushing Americans toward a civil war, which would bring mass death and government crackdowns, just as after the first Civil War. 02:24:24 – Tucker Carlson's 9/11 Cover-UpCarlson's upcoming 9/11 documentary is blasted as controlled opposition. He's accused of hiding Building 7 evidence and running CIA-style propaganda. 02:29:23 – Israeli Foreknowledge of 9/11FBI reports of “Israeli art students” surveilling U.S. sites and filming the attacks are examined, with claims U.S. intelligence may have used Israel as cover. 02:35:14 – Gold vs. Fake EconomyTony Arterburn joins to show how gold is the “real stablecoin” amid fake job reports, manipulated markets, and central bank hoarding. 02:56:48 – CBDC Trojan Horse: The GENIUS ActThe new Genius Act is framed as a backdoor to eliminate cash, wipe out small banks, and impose full surveillance through stablecoins. 03:17:29 – Trump's Tariff DelusionTariffs are framed as taxes that make nations poorer, not richer. Trump is blasted for adopting economic policies resembling “third world” countries while claiming they'll bring investment. 03:23:01 – America's Declining Trade FreedomDiscussion of how the U.S. fell from 8th to 53rd place in global trade freedom rankings. Tariffs and capital controls are shown as barriers that punish Americans while eroding prosperity. 03:27:33 – Tariffs Destroying Small BusinessReal-world examples highlight how tariffs cripple industries like guitar-making and surfboards by driving up costs of foreign materials. Trump and Peter Navarro are ridiculed for boneheaded, short-sighted trade policy. 03:32:01 – Trump Hypocrisy on Free SpeechTrump is accused of hollow rhetoric after praising Charlie Kirk's “free speech,” while simultaneously cracking down on students protesting Gaza. His response to the shooting is dismissed as political theater. 03:34:27 – Mossad & 9/11 OperationsConversation shifts to Israeli involvement in 9/11, citing “Israeli art students,” Mossad-linked moving companies, and Marvin Bush's security contracts at the Trade Towers. The U.S.-Israel connection is framed as deep and corrupt. 03:52:36 – Epstein, Banks & the GOP Cover-UpThe Epstein scandal is revisited, with J.P. Morgan, Ken Starr, and Bill Gates implicated in protecting pedophiles. Trump, Mike Johnson, and the GOP are accused of aiding cover-ups to protect elites.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their journey through The Fourth Turning, diving into Chapter 6, which explores the “American High” from 1946 to 1964. They discuss how post–World War II optimism, economic expansion, and the rise of suburbia shaped a generation, while also planting the seeds of conformity, consumerism, and cultural stagnation. The hosts highlight how generational archetypes shifted during this era, with the Lost Generation entering elderhood, GIs moving into midlife, and Boomers arriving as children. They unpack the authors' framework of turnings and constellations, exploring how historical cycles repeat and how manipulation by elites can alter their trajectory. Along the way, they connect these historical insights to today's political and cultural struggles, reflecting on the erosion of the family, the rise of globalist influence, and whether the natural rhythms of history can be delayed or redirected in the age of surveillance and propaganda. It's a thoughtful blend of history, prophecy, and present-day reflection that grounds the abstract theory of cycles in lived experience.

We're all caught in old stories, both personal and public. What is possible for us when we learn to tell new ones? Today's guest, Ben Joseph Stewart, has spent the last decade and a half telling new stories—first as a poet and musician, then as a one-man-band filmmaker. Ben's films challenge official narratives while showcasing human potential, promoting personal sovereignty and cultural transformation. The through-line is awakening: inviting viewers to engage reality with curiosity, courage, and responsibility. Making the present incrementally better rather than aiming at utopian visions.   In this conversation, we track Ben's pivot from poet to prog-rock to filmmaker, after one psychedelic night and a Zeitgeist screening that ignited his filmmaking, and the stubborn discipline it takes to keep your voice intact when budgets, teams, and “the machine” grow louder. We get into art vs. propaganda, the influencer economy and why scrappy iPhone footage can feel truer than cinema glass. Why is the story so powerful, and what strange comfort can come from opening up to the darker aspects of life to understand the game board we're collectively playing on—from smart cities, endless news cycles, and the Fourth Turning—without letting fear steal your agency.   This episode is a guide to sovereignty: repetition over perfection, publishing before you feel ready, and returning storytelling to its original job—transmitting living values from one soul to another. If you've ever felt your best life and work is bottlenecked by permission or perfection, this one's a key.   Ben Joseph Stewart is a filmmaker, writer, and musician known for the documentaries Esoteric Agenda (2008), Kymatica (2009), and the Gaia series Psychedelica. His work explores consciousness, culture, and power through an art-first lens. He's collaborated with creators across media (from Aubrey Marcus to DMT Quest), composes his own scores, and teaches story craft through The Soul of Filmmaking, an academy focused on making art that speaks from the core without bowing to the machine.   Feelings with Strangers Socials Insta: https://www.instagram.com/feelings.with.strangers/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FeelingswithStrangers   Ben Joseph Stewart    Site: benjosephstewart.com Insta: https://www.instagram.com/benjosephstewart/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BenJosephStewart   Soul of Film Site: souloffilm.com

We were recently joined by Center for Unity co-founder Gabriel Rymberg. Among many interesting topics we discussed, including the moral and ethical need for the Urantia Book teachings, we also look one-hundred years after the Celestials delivered the revelations, and what might be healthy next steps to spreading the good news of the Urantia Book. Is it AI, is it more social networking -- or something else entirely?Gabriel also shares news about exciting new projects coming from Center for Unity. Gabriel was contracted to translate the Urantia Book into Hebrew, and it was through this project he came to develop a relationship with Jesus (from the Life and Teachings) during the fiver years he worked on the translation.

The stock market peaked on September 3rd, 1929, and weeks later the Great Depression began. Today, some analysts like Bloomberg's Mike McGlone are warning of a $10K Bitcoin collapse, while Max Keiser is screaming the opposite: Bitcoin at $2,000,000.In this episode Rustin and Max break down the U.S. debt spiral, bond market chaos, rising global wars, and why stablecoins are just hospice care for the dollar. Then we zoom out into the Fourth Turning cycle of history, and why this time humanity has a monetary escape hatch: Bitcoin. From fiat collapse to generational opportunity, this show builds to one conclusion: all roads lead to Bitcoin. Strap in!

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning, this time unpacking Chapter 5's exploration of generational cycles and historical rhythms. They discuss how crime, substance abuse, and cultural trends rise and fall across awakenings, unravelings, and crises, and why today's fentanyl epidemic may not fit neatly into past patterns. The hosts wrestle with questions about technology, propaganda, and whether elites exploit these cycles to manipulate society, connecting insights from Bernays to modern AI. They trace turning points from the Civil War through World War II to today, examining anomalies in history and the potential for another global reorganization in our time. With humor, personal anecdotes, and sharp analysis, this episode blends book study with big-picture reflections on America's past, present, and future.

In my opinion, the easiest macro trend to forecast is that our fiat currencies will continue to lose purchasing power in the years ahead, likely at an accelerating rate.Today's guest not only agrees, but rings that same bell even more loudly than I do.For an update on his outlook on inflation, asset prices, the economy, the dollar, and what to expect next in this current Fourth Turning, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program investor and sound money advocate Lawrence Lepard, author of the book: The Big Print, What Happened To America and How Sound Money Will Fix ItLOCK IN THE EARLY BIRD PRICE DISCOUNT FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MONEY FALL CONFERENCE AT https://thoughtfulmoney.com/conference#inflation #money #moneyprinting _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

Part One | Part TwoI didn't just leave the Democratic Party. I ran screaming from them. On Friday night, I was reminded once again why.The news hit X that Trump had died. It wasn't true, of course, but for some reason, those who think that the only way to gain back power from Trump is “mess with him” or “troll him” seemed to think this was funny.But as usual, the Left can't meme. It wasn't funny. It was chilling because of how obsessed with Trump they've been and how their hatred has boiled over into madness.It became a frenzy, a wild-eyed bacchanalia on TikTok. They were smiling and cackling at the mere thought of “it finally happening.”After all, the TikTok trend of “when it happens” has been flourishing on the app, along with “somebody just do it,” for quite some time. They're strung-out junkies by now, hunting for that dopamine hit that comes from blurting out what shouldn't be said.Looking at their eyes, their crazy, crazy eyes, always makes me think of the Manson followers who had that same look, especially as they skipped through the courthouse while on trial for having slaughtered innocent people who were enjoying a hot August night in 1969 before the creepy crawlers came.The conclusion at the time was that they'd been brainwashed by Charlie. But how he brainwashed them wasn't that different from how the Left has brainwashed their followers. He surfed the wave of the anti-establishment counterculture, finding easy targets to dehumanize and blame. Are you angry? He seemed to say, take it out on them. They deserve it.The evil was at the top - cops were “pigs,” the rich “deserved” to die, which is why when Susan Atkins, aka Sadie, plunged the knife into the pregnant stomach of Sharon Tate, she only felt relief and a kind of euphoria:The Left of today reminds me so much of my childhood growing up as a hippie kid in Topanga during that time. I was too young to really remember the Manson murders, but I could sense the vibe shift in the wake of them. It was their inability to hold power, how the silent majority rejected them, that transformed the “make love not war” hippies into violent radicals.I also knew that we all believed religion was too oppressive, which is partly what birthed the counterculture movement in the first place. Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll only took us so far, I remember that, too. I was a child of the narcissistic “me” generation, where kids were sidelined as adults chased their bliss and “found themselves.”The rise of feminism also meant women adopted a false sense of security, and serial killers and rapists began sprouting up like mushrooms all through the 1970s. I remember the gas lines and the malaise. I remember the pendulum shift, and how welcome it was when our culture finally became too exhausted of the hippies, especially after the violence, and opted for a different kind of life.Money and success were the fix in the 1980s - mortgages, marriages, kids, jobs. But even that failed to do the trick. We were still broken and empty inside. By the 1990s, just as the self-help revolution and therapy culture arose in the wake of the FCC allowing Pharma to market to consumers, we turned to the brave new world of psychologists and psychiatrists who would “fix” us, heal us from our trauma and abuse.After a while, though, how we were abused, what made us victims, would eventually become our identity. For years, every time I met a man or anyone, I would tell my story of abuse to put it all into context: see me as a victim, feel sorry for me.In 2008, the Wall Street bailout of $700 billion was the crisis that sparked the Fourth Turning, according to Neil Howe, who co-authored the book with the late William H. Strauss. But it was an important year for another reason. It was the rise of Barack Obama, the iPhone, Twitter, and Facebook.While the bailout would awaken the public and eventually birth two populist movements — Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party — the rise of Obama would be the religion we didn't even know we needed. It was a collective sense of purpose where everyone had a seat at the table, but mostly focused on marginalized groups, everyone but the majority.We colonized the internet as Obama built his coalition on Twitter, as civilization began to migrate into virtual spaces. Because we were all connected, we could decide the rules of behavior, of language, of status. We remade a new America online to address our collective trauma and abuse and build a better America, a shining Woketopia on the Hill.As wealth and power shifted Leftward under Obama's rule, much of America's rust belt was abandoned. We didn't realize this as we tinkered with our perfect little world, our insulated bubble. We were so cut off that we almost speciated, with an entirely different language from the rest of America.The ruling elites could find absolution by borrowing oppression. They could elevate the marginalized and use them as a protective layer as the populists began rising up against the government.The Democrats, as the party of the wealthy, didn't have to address their needs or even acknowledge them. Turning the public against them by convicting them as “racists” in the media and in the court of public opinion served the Democrats well. Now, they had an existential crisis because Trump was leading the populists, and they were about to shock the world by winning.Mass PsychosisTrump's win would kick off Trump Derangement Syndrome, otherwise known as mass psychosis. Maybe it wouldn't have afflicted so many and gone on for so long if the people at the top - the Democrats and the ruling class - cared enough to calm things down. But they didn't. Having a public crippled by mass psychosis served their needs.Trump Derangement Syndrome: The Movie begins there. It was never about Trump. He was what Alfred Hitchcock would call “The MacGuffin.” It's the thing people in the movie care about, but the audience knows doesn't matter.As they chased their Macguffin for ten years, they had no idea that the real story unfolding was what happened to all of them. What happened during COVID, during lockdowns? What happened to a group of people who were fed the Russiagate lie, and even now, it has never been corrected or debunked.What happened to people who were told by the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Washington Post that fascism was coming to America? What happened to the young people who absorbed and internalized the unending and relentless focus on the evils of Trump as the media cherry-picked the worst things he said and dumped them into the churn?And all for what? To turn out voters when the candidates don't drive enthusiasm? They never once thought using fear for that long would ultimately cause a mental health crisis in this country, especially among the young?By 2020, I could no longer endure the daily ritual, the two minutes of hate for one more minute.It felt like poison. I had to know whether it was true or not. Was Trump really all of these things we believed him to be, or was he the guy we all remembered from the 1980s, the guy in Home Alone? Or, in the worst-case scenario, was he the Goldstein-like figure from Orwell's 1984, used only to keep their voters in compliance and full of hate?So I did the hard thing and I decided to find out for myself. I watched Trump's rallies heading into the election, all five a day. I saw his supporters for the first time. They were nothing like as described. They were intersectional, for one thing, all different races, gay people, and even trans people.The one thing they had in common was that they did not belong to the ruling class and were not part of the Doomsday Cult. They were sick of Trump Derangement Syndrome: The Movie. They were exhausted by it. They wanted to move on. So did I.For me, finally seeing that none of it was real, that Trump wasn't who I was led to believe he was, that he was the Macguffin, and his supporters were not mouth-frothing brown shirts fueled by racism. And that meant, for me, there was no going back. It took all the courage I could muster — my Soylent Green is People moment, my To Serve Man is a Cookbook plea to say to them, “It's not about race. It's about class!”But class had been eliminated out of necessity. If America is a systemically racist country, then Barack and Michelle Obama are still oppressed, which gives them status. But some white guy strung out on fentanyl dying on the streets in Wisconsin is still an oppressor and has no status.Are they surprised the revolution happened to them?The Trump They Invented Never ExistedThe story the Left has been telling itself is how Shakespeare once described life in the play Macbeth: A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.Focusing solely on Trump for ten long years has meant they have never made any progress in solving the problems that put Trump in power in the first place.They've only hurt themselves because there is no version of this movie that comes to anything good. Should they take back power, what is their plan for the rest of the country that voted for Trump? Gulags? Mass deportation? Firing squads?Trump Derangement Syndrome has all but collapsed the empire, with Hollywood barely clinging to life, network television hemorrhaging viewers, and a rising counterculture movement they can't keep up with. Their jokes aren't funny. Their movies are unwatchable. Their moral superiority is unbearable.Voters are fleeing like rats off a sinking ship.The Democrats themselves have been recorded now as having no faith in the direction of the country, down to zero for the first time in history.Unfortunately, there is no snapping out of it any time soon. They are trapped in a hell of their own making and have arrived at the abyss. Their Great White Hopes, such as Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker, seem to think that “fighting back” must also mean reflecting the mass psychosis that has distorted their perception of reality.But a great leader would be the one to help them out of it, offering rationality and critical thinking. A good leader would welcome Trump's help with crime to save mothers from having to worry about their children, but this is not a party that cares about them. This is a party that only cares about the ruling elite, still stuck in the Doomsday cult.It should not be about Donald Trump 10 years laterWhat has destroyed the Democrats and the Left was never Trump. They could have easily beaten him. They just had to be a little less crazy. But they couldn't even do that. The voters had in Trump someone who could see the working class at all, let alone help address their problems. But really, most of us voted for Trump as a way outThe Democrats have become so disconnected from reality that they believe it's acceptable to sterilize children and amputate their body parts, among other horrors.There is no such thing as a sane Democrat. Even those who seem semi-sane, like Rahm Emanuel, will buckle under the question of “gender affirming care.”That made voting for Trump in 2024 one of the easiest things I've ever done. I will spend the rest of my life reminding every single Democrat that they not only went along with it, but they also fought to preserve it. They own this and every terrible thing that will happen in the next ten years as children wake up and become adults and realize what has been done to them.That's just one of the reasons I think Trump is the Gray Champion of this Fourth Turning, the one we're living through now. 8 years ago, Neil Howe was asked this question. He wasn't prepared to answer it because Trump's presidency had not yet been tested.All of these years later, it's hard to see Trump as anything else:And maybe that's why a death fantasy was their last best hope. Maybe deep down, they know this is the end. Trump Derangement Syndrome: The Movie is nothing less than the rise and fall of a once-mighty empire and a disastrous campaign that has all but destroyed the minds of a generation.What the Democrats don't realize or won't accept is that the pendulum wants to swing. So let it. But until they find their way out of mass psychosis, we should do everything we can to keep them as far away from our schools and our government as possible.It brings me no pleasure to watch the empire fall, but I always knew it would. We built an empire of lies. I also knew that sooner or later, the truth would bring the whole thing crashing down.You can't stop what's coming. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity.

AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm   "If you knew the world was about to change forever… would you brace for impact or learn to ride the wave?" We're living in a moment of seismic transformation: AI is rewriting the rules of work, demographics are reshaping economies, and the Fourth Turning is challenging every institution we once trusted. Yet most people are frozen—clinging to outdated maps while the landscape beneath them crumbles. This episode isn't about fear—it's about clarity. Because history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. And if you learn to hear the rhythm, you can move with it, not against it.   The transformation isn't about technology—it's about agency. You don't need to predict every future trend. You need to become the kind of person who can adapt faster than the world changes. This episode will help you shift from being a passive observer of change to an active participant in shaping it. When you stop resisting the wave and start riding it, you don't just survive—you gain freedom.   4 Pillar-Aligned Takeaways:  [Wealth] The End of "Set It and Forget It": Globalization is fracturing, inflation is real, and AI is upending industries. The era of blind trust in systems is over—you must design your own financial playbook. [Purpose] From Survival to Significance: If AI could give you all the money you'd ever need, what would still get you out of bed? That question will anchor you when the old ways of working no longer apply. [Health] Resilience Is the New Currency: Mental and physical strength aren't optional—they are your first line of defense against uncertainty. Without health, you can't ride the wave. [Time] Choosing the Lead Domino: In a world of infinite noise, focus is freedom. Master one skill or habit at a time to build compound momentum.   Money Learning: "Abundance starts when you stop needing the outcome." The biggest money shift in this episode is learning to see wealth not as a finish line but as a tool. Your financial choices aren't about “winning” the game—they're about creating optionality in a world that won't stop changing.   About Rocky: Rocky Lalvani serves as Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners.

In Episode 19 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America crack open The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe, beginning with the book's Preface. They react to the authors' 1997 framing of an impending American crisis, a bold prediction that feels startlingly accurate nearly three decades later. Ashe and CannCon reflect on the difference between linear and cyclical views of history, the rise and fall of institutions, and the prophetic tone Strauss and Howe set from page one. With a blend of curiosity, humor, and grounded skepticism, the hosts begin laying the foundation for what promises to be a powerful and timely read-along of this generational classic.

Macro strategist Darius Dale returns to Excess Returns with a deep dive into the seismic shifts shaping markets today. From the implications of the Fourth Turning to the systemic risks of fiscal dominance, Dale shares how he's helping investors stay on the right side of market risk using quantitative tools and macro insights from 42 Macro. This episode covers everything from inflation, tariffs, and AI to a systematic framework for navigating regime change in real time. Whether you're a retail investor or an institutional pro, this conversation is packed with insights that matter.

In this episode, Matt Zeigler and Dave Nadig revisit one of the most popular interviews on Excess Returns—our deep-dive conversation with Neil Howe, co-author of The Fourth Turning. But instead of leaning into the usual doom-and-gloom narrative, they unpack the misunderstood lessons at the heart of Howe's generational theory.From inflation and leadership to passive investing and community, Matt and Dave explore the deeper patterns shaping our society and markets—and why so many people miss the bigger picture.

The market climbs relentlessly higher while uncertainty looms on every horizon. Is this sustainable? Seth Cogswell of Running Oak draws compelling parallels between today's investment landscape and the bubble of 2000, where a handful of companies drove index returns while numerous others languished in the shadows.We're living through what historians might call a "Fourth Turning" – a once-in-80-years societal transformation that coincides with major shifts in government, economy, and technology. Add to this the troubling possibility that social media and AI might actually be making us collectively less intelligent, and you have a recipe for market inefficiency that thoughtful investors can exploit.Cogswell reveals why mid-cap companies occupy a unique sweet spot in this environment – established enough to provide stability but small enough to deliver meaningful growth when they innovate. This segment has been largely overlooked as capital floods into the largest names, creating valuation imbalances that spell opportunity for disciplined investors.The Running Oak approach focuses on three timeless principles: maximizing earnings growth, maintaining strict valuation discipline, and mitigating downside risk. This rules-based strategy ensures consistency regardless of market conditions, making it an anchor holding for uncertain times.Perhaps most compelling is Cogswell's insight about "investing where others aren't." When everyone piles into the same popular stocks, prices rise and future returns diminish.

In the second episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I talk with the man whose work inspired us to set off on this journey together – the co-author of seminal book The Fourth Turning and author of The Fourth Turning is Here, Neil Howe. What follows is a timely and thought-provoking conversation on generational theory and the turbulent state of not just the United States, but the entire world today. From rising partisanship and institutional decay to shifting cultural norms around religion, gender, and substance use, Neil unpacks the patterns he sees repeating—and what they might mean for the road ahead. We explore the defining characteristics of a Fourth Turning, why America and the rest of the world may already be deep into one, and what the implications could be both at home and on the world stage—including the possibility of a major confrontation with China. This is a deep dive into the forces reshaping our society with one of their keenest observers—and a disturbing look at what history tells us might come next.

Episode 415 is the third episode in the Hundred Year Pivot podcast series. In it, Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams speak with some of the smartest and most plugged-in people they know to help them navigate the once-in-a-century economic, political, and geopolitical reordering that is currently underway. In this episode Kofinas and Williams speak with economic historian, author of “The Solid Ground Newsletter” and Keeper of the Library of Mistakes, Russell Napier about the end of the economic, monetary, and global trading & security order that has been the largest single driver of global growth over the last thirty years. The consequences of the changes discussed for economic and national security, social cohesion, investment, and wealth preservation are nothing short of tectonic. Points of discussion include: The Trump administration's economic and trade strategy Efforts to isolate China The creation of new monetary systems The search for new safe assets The realignment of global power The escalating risk of war with China There is also a long and detailed discussion about how investors can position themselves for: The accelerating repatriation of capital flows The onset of capital controls A prolonged period of financial repression in which wealth preservation will take precedence over making money and chasing outsized financial returns.
