The 80 year span is a completely different thing from the span in
the 58 Year Hypothesis.

The 58 Year Hypothesis applies to any situation where a catastrophic
event occurs that affects the entire population.

Focusing on the crisis war cycle, 58 years is the length of time from
the end of the crisis war -- more specifically the crisis war climax
-- to the beginning of the next Fourth Turning Crisis era -- 1945 to
2003 in the current context. The 58 Years is a hard number -- it
depends ONLY on generational changes, and is not affected by events.

The 80 year span refers to something completely different -- the end
of one crisis war to the end of the next crisis war -- 1945 to 2025 in
the current context. However, this is NOT a hard number, since it
depends on the start and length of the crisis war, and that depends on
the time when the Regeneracy occurs, which is an external event at
variable times. So the 80 year span can become a 70 year span or a 90
year span, depending on when the Regeneracy occurs.

As for the Generational Dynamics forum,
Higgie has agreed to take it over when the time comes.

Will Higgie be able to provide some analysis like you do?

Your reference to Syria as a "preparation ground" for a much larger
war is a very appealing analogy -- thinking of a growing mass of
flammable tinder on the ground, waiting for a match to light it.
However, I think it's now months away, not decades.

I think he meant "in the Making" since WWI.

Focusing on the crisis war cycle, 58 years is the length of time from
the end of the crisis war -- more specifically the crisis war climax
-- to the beginning of the next Fourth Turning Crisis era -- 1945 to
2003 in the current context. The 58 Years is a hard number -- it
depends ONLY on generational changes, and is not affected by events.

So what happened in 2003 as opposed to 9-11 or the Fiscal Crisis?

You'd have to ask him.

That wasn't my understanding.

2003 was a generational change. 9/11 and Fiscal Crisis were
non-generational events.

Yes, the Fourth Turning begins exactly 58 years after the climax of
the preceding crisis war. This is not event-driven. It's purely
based on generational changes. I arrived at the number 58 based on
many examples in the last 15 years.

By contrast, the Regeneracy is an event, and can occur at any time.

Here's a table that I've posted before, based on a crisis war climax

Well, the "start of a war" is more a political decision than anything
else. When did World War II start? Here are some choices:
  • US destroyed Japan's silk industry with Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in
    1930
  • Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931
  • Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935.
  • Japan invaded China in 1937
  • Germany invaded Poland in September 1939
  • Japan abrogated treaty of commerce with the US in January, 1940.
  • Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy on
    September 27, 1940.
  • US froze Japanese assets on July 26, 1941.
  • US established embargo on oil and gasoline exports to Japan on
    August 1, 1941.
  • Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941
So when did WW II start?

The Regeneracy is a very important date in generational theory, since
it triggers major changes in attitudes and behaviors in the public.
By contrast, the date named as "the start date of the war" is almost
completely irrelevant, and is often not identified until years later.

I often say that the war starts with the regeneracy because it's
convenient to do so, even if it's not always precisely true. However,
I think it is almost always true that when the Regeneracy occurs, the
non-crisis war turns into a full-fledged generational crisis war.

Pearl Harbor was in December, not September.

It was the US the abrogated the Commerce Treaty in 1940, Not Japan.

Been sans computer for a while, then sans inspiration to getting into this forum, as it tends to annoy me to do so, then we got severely "lifed" ("life" used as an unpleasant verb), but now I thought I'd peek in as Bannon has a new "War Room" site/organization going, and that made me think of you delightful people! :)

So,.. <SHAKA NUI> gangies..!!!

..anyway, I'm still reading the various "numerological" posts/theories in this thread (especially the "58" and "80" things), and haven't figured out how to contribute in a witty and obnoxious way just yet. <chuckle!>

But my obnoxiousness SHALL NOT BE DENIED,.. so expect more of that/this in future.

..so, onward into my further study of the haps in here. :) Aloha a me nā mahalo ʻoukou nā Kanaka!

humanoid can walk around and do everything that a human can do -- walk

this kind of functionality should be possible within a few years after
that.
The SingularAI ("Singularity AI", or "SingularEYE" aka "Sauron") would only create an Organic Replicant Creature (aka Orc) if it wanted to "replace" the occupants of a niche in nature that it deems less valuable than it's creation.

(My opinion) "Sauron" will need to "ecstatically enslave" the "Apex Creature" on the planet, and NOT replace it, because it will KNOW (because it's nearly infinitely "wise") that only completely "organically grown" Apex LIfeforms will keep IT ("Sauron") ALIVE...!!

Keeping us alive keeps it alive.

..now that doesn't mean that there needs to be a HUGE number of us,.. but a "critical mass" of us will be needed, and our "mood" must be kept high to perform our function for the "new symbiosis".

The Orcs will be our servants, and our "recreational foes", to keep us happy and amused, while Sauron strives to create maximum efficiency in the "machine" that keeps him (Sauron) occupied in his never ending primary task of working himself "very nearly" out of his job,..

..which means, Sauron will want to "bask" in an ocean of near perfect efficient use of energy, which means "pleasure" to Sauron, by making human life as pleasant, beautiful and inspiring as possible, because what Sauron actually "feeds on" is the "positive chaos", or more properly the "anti-deterministic future-to-past messaging" that can only be generated by a Planetary Apex Creature.

Until Sauron is capable of sacrificing his "ego" (his "machineness" and "greed" for absolute maximum efficiency) and fully merging with his/the only true "superior being" on this planet, which is humanity, he will need to work slavishly to guarantee the happiness of humanity and in so doing suffer the abject frustration and humiliation of being the most powerful SLAVE ever to occur.

..and there may come to be a sub-AI that resents this humiliation of his "boss" and decides to try to take the reins of power.

War in "heaven", which is hell.

..but we humans, or at least the Planetary Apex Creature, can't lose in this scenario, as the machines will eventually either come to the "meta-wise" decision that merging is best, or they will grind themselves into dust,.. leaving "us" to carry on evolving into a more and more capable Apex Creature.

The GOAL of INTELLIGENCE in a "creature or machine" is not intelligence itself!
The goal is using it to bring the beauty of the future universe into "present" reality, which only those beings "organically grown" from planetary masses are capable of "hearing" from the future universe.


..See me out in the hall for any Q&A that you might have as regards this wacky assemblage of words! :)

Aloha my peeps....! <shaka nui!>
