Thanks for the wish, but 20 years of experience shows that very few
people will even remember Generational Dynamics.
You think I'm a thorn in your side at times (or many times), but the only flaws that I see in your analysis is when you let the personal leech into the work you do. Good examples of this are the constant appeal to the "Cassandra Curse", the anger you have for others maltreating you, and the thought you will be forgotten, which is a type of despair. You won't be forgotten, and you're doing what many negative people do here which is a type of pride - woe is me, the world doesn't like me, I must have some curse on me - as if you're that special. That kind of thinking, with all the talents you have, is silly, and more importantly, foolishness to the max since it helps no one - the least of all, you yourself.

Well I did not make the calculation to get the exact date myself (thanks, Cool Breeze).

This sounds like a realistic assessment of the situation in Ukraine

Not really. It’s a one-sided assessment. We are not provided with any reliable assessment of the situation in Ukraine. All we are fed is propaganda from all sides.

You have no reading comprehension abilities. That you make clear over and over again.

From all sides means exactly that - all sides. There is no true, independent reporting coming out of Ukraine. We are either fed MSM BS or Russian BS. I'm amazed (not really) at your continuous displays of ignorance and a lack of inquisition. You just believe whatever you're fed. Your sources of information can probably fit on one hand. You like being told what to believe.

The period between these two events was 28,898 days.
It's weird that you didn't tell us that 28,898 days from the end of WWII is September 27, 2024.

Just sayin'.
Actually, I did. Just not directly.
You did geometric and arithmetic means, which are different, since you started out counting days to point out how weird the 28898 exact day comparison was. Anyway, 9/27/24 if anyone cared.

I like to join everybody to thank John for conceptualizing Generational Dynamics and putting it out for me and the rest of the world to discover. For many years, I would read about world events and say “WTF?” After coming to this website and reading all his books, more of the world makes sense. This was crystalized after John spoke to my unit and the reaction of all the attendees to his briefing where many said, “I think he is right.” I understand somewhat how you feel about getting old and it is a bit of a struggle to stay optimistic about life, but I feel I will do my best and keep my square meter of earth tidy. What else can you do other than as the US Girls Scouts say “Make the world a better place” and I do by talking up GD at dinner with my friends and family?

With the CDC saying Boston is now “low” on the pandemic level, I can buy you a few pints of your favorite beverage, I will stick with Irish mouthwash, at the Miracle of Science Bar + Grill in Cambridge. This is at your convenience.

It is an honor to know and work with you. Be proud of what you have contributed to the betterment of the human race. It is a lot more than 90% of the residents of this planet can say.

I did the minimum, the maximum, and the arithmetic and geometric means. Although I'll admit I was a bit sloppy in explaining my results. So thank you for helping clarify to the others what I meant to say.
