Generational theory, international history and current events

If nothing happens by 2030 I would reconsider my views. 2025 is the 80 year mark for us and as we get closer things seem to be accelerating. If the crisis war doesn't start by 2030 that doesn't necessarily mean the theory isn't true. Maybe technology and central banks do have an effect on the cycle and would push things back farther.Cool Breeze wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:48 pm I've asked it before but we should return to the subject. How many more years have to pass before anyone here (whoever wants to answer) will be shocked that nothing HUGE (crisis war) has happened?
In an analysis of over 100 crisis wars in nations around the world throughout history, the number of years from the end of one crisis war to the beginning of the next varied from 40 to 117 years, according to the following table:
Fraction
# years of total
------- --------
0- 40 0%
41- 49 11%
50- 59 33%
60- 69 25%
70- 79 16%
80- 89 4%
90- 99 6%
100-117 5%
These results, along with the theoretical explanation, are extremely significant, and unfortunately little understood.

The concept involved is worth answering although the phrasing of the question is....Cool Breeze wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:48 pm I've asked it before but we should return to the subject.

Is there anything we learned from the reporting? Maybe something subtle that hasn't been reported on, or was it just a friendly chat? Thanks for keeping us updatedJohn wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:05 pm ** 15-Nov-2021 World View: Virtual Biden - Xi meeting today
Joe Biden and Xi Jinping are going to have a "virtual summit meeting"
later today.
It's going to be a zoom call, and what I find really startling is
that it's supposed last for "several hours." What the hell
are they going to be talking about for several hours.
According to press reports, tariffs and supply chain issues will not
be major subjects of discussion. Nor are they going to discuss human
rights issues, like the forced sterilization and enslavement of
Uighurs or the crushing of democracy in Hong Kong.
Instead, the highest priority will be "rising tensions" over Taiwan.
So what are they going to discuss when they talk about Taiwan for
"several hours"? We already know what China's position is -- that
Taiwan is part of China's "core."
What will Biden say? Will he make concessions? Will he be
confrontational? Either of those approaches is potentially explosive.
According to one unnamed administration official:
It's hard to say what these "guardrails" will be, given that China has> "We want to make clear our intentions and our

been launching increasingly belligerent military exercises in Taiwan's
airspace in recent months.
It's worth noting that the situation on the China-India border has
also been worsening in recent months, as China has been massing troops
and equipment on the border near the region of India that China is
claiming. However, it's not expected that Biden and Xi will even
mention this situation.

I would be extremely grateful if WW3 were delayed that long. I am looking at spring 2022.thomasglee wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:31 pm2026 - 2033Cool Breeze wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:48 pm I've asked it before but we should return to the subject.

I full well expect a complete and total collapse by NLT 2033.
