'Another factor is the sequence of generations. By about two decades in the generation that was really dominant in the last phase of the previous century has had its day.

multi-currency Euro, Yuan and the Dollar will be as a reserve. After this occurs, the dollar is more than the local currency. Many of them have lost the status of the dollar as reserve currency, then our standard 30% reduction in life that I do not know. $ 7.00 per gallon $ 3.50 per gallon of gas is easy to shoot. Oil and dollar interest rates, and we do not happen because it is caused by printing more dollars.

The quote you put in there is definitely one to garner attention to the article. I for one don't believe that our generation "has had its day" although I do agree that our future is going to be defined by those who have only lived in the new century which in my opinion is dangerous. These kids today don't know what t is like to survive without the things that make our lives so much easier and the panic strikes much quicker in the case of power outages and other catastrophes.

This is why the Hero generation is so powerful; they have no personal experience with how things are "supposed to be done", what "cannot be done", or how truly bad things can get. They will boldly move forward and do what cannot be done because they do not know it cannot be done. They will make the risky choices because they have no grasp of how severe the consequences of failure can be or that even success can carry a painful price. This naivete gives them a degree of power that will be not only useful, but necessary in ending the crisis war once it has begun. This is where they will find the courage to charge that machine gun nest or fly that bomber on what may be a suicide mission that could save millions of lives. They have the intellectual knowledge of the inevitable result, but not a visceral, personal, immobilizing knowledge. Look at footage of post-2000 blackout riots in the US; it is often the middle generations that are panicking while the younger ones often can be seen profiteering/looting. Where are the oldest? They tend to be at home keeping an eye on the pantry they had the foresight to build and the Victory garden they had the wisdom to grow. At least, that's been my observation.

During and after the crisis war, they will see, hear, feel, and otherwise experience the horrific cost of the war. This traumatic revelation is what will move them to build the new institutions of the Austerity Era that follows, so that such a price need never be paid again... they hope.

Without a crisis war, the Hero Generation becomes locked in their naivete and increasingly desperate to impose change on what they see as a broken and declining society. Their children grow up in a culture of conflict and idealism with no grasp of risk. This "Fifth Turning" generation will resort to any tactic to achieve their goals, from suicide bombings to chem/bio/nuclear terrorism. Once this state of existence has been achieved, nothing but a true Crisis War can break the cycle and initiate a new Austerity.
