Generational Dynamics Forum - New Site

Justin, I think this is an excellent question. Generally, I think works of fiction are most strongly shaped by the generation to which they are made for/by. So the original trilogy was made for an Idealist audience, evident by the emphasis on the distinction between good and evil, as well as strong ...

John, I think it's a fantastic idea! I've always dreamed of there being a wiki-style website for generational timelines. However, I think that having an entry for each modern nation-state is impractical. By the Principle of Localization, it's more proper to refer to GD over cultural regions, which s...

Wow, this is an amazing collection of all of the crisis lists that are on the website - thank you for bringing them into one place! You're Welcome :D. First, a note on the Roman Empire: one thing I've noticed in studying Roman history in particular and Ancient & Medieval history in general is that ...

This is my current list of saeculums that I have collected. If this list is incomplete, let me know and I will add to it. Note: Each entry is just the main event that typifies that crisis era. During each era, there may be any number of external/internal wars, genocides, economic disasters, plagues,...

However, this stuff is happening in real time with real pain and future severely negative economic consequences. People who pay these extreme sums cannot effectively add to their weal...

Aedens, As a religious man myself, I greatly appreciate all the work you go into seeing connections between the Bible and the world today. However, as the Lord Jesus said "No man knows the day or hour, not even the Son", and in another place "watch, therefore, for the Son of Man arrives at a time yo...

I should definitely try, although unfortunately I don't live anywhere near Connecticut.

I assume you're aware that I sometimes include a generational timeline in a World View article, and there are dozens of these scattered around the web site. If you've collected them all in one place, perhaps we can post your work as a separate article on the main web site. If that interests you, le...
