Thank you for the kind words. The 'map project' is an older work of mine that I worked on with a friend from the TFT forums, 1990. I recently updated it. It was 1990 who pointed me to the striking correlation. It is difficult to tell how much there is to this, but it is noteworthy at the very least.StilesBC wrote:Matt,
That's fantastic work! Thanks! I was actually working on a similar project myself.
Do you consider the fall of Communism as a 4th turning in Russia, or do you agree with John that they are in a 5th?
Perhaps the wrong thread for such a discussion.

(Note: When I use the word "turning," I am referring to the position in the generational constellation. When I use the name for the specific turning, I am referring to the era itself. In Generational Dynamics, these are not always the same, as I will show.)jwfid wrote: Since discovering this site in September or so, I've read your two books, John, as well as skimming through "The Fourth Turning". I understand that timelines can come together if the unraveling era for one group is somehow delayed long enough to allow it to occur. Could you please tell me what a fifth turning is, and what you folks think about how unraveling eras can somehow be delayed.
