In mid-2010, a tipping point will be reached in which we will feel a paradigm shift clicking into place. The last time this happened was in 1977 --- the next election we got Reagan and Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and...well, everything that's happened since then.
But starting next year, it's going to be different.
Starting next year, we are going to move away from the oligarchic materialism that has been behind everything these last 32 and a half years, and move into an era that is all about reaching out to something greater than yourself --- an age where the group is considered more important than the individual.
This'll be great for getting national health care. So if you've been stewing about that for the last month --- well, put your time to better use. It'll happen. The real question is: who will make it happen? Populist liberals or populist conservatives?
And if they're populist conservatives...what else will they make happen?
Western civilization has been moving forward in a 3-part cycle that since industrialism and democracy has been repeating every 97 and a half years. I've just spent the last five years working on a book that documents the cycle.
I've got a Ph.D. from Cornell in politics, but the agents say that they're sorry, there's nothing wrong with the writing or the content, I'm just missing a frigging "platform." Damned book needs to be out NOW, but gee, I just don't have the Twitter buddies...
Hell, maybe I do sound crazy. You can have a look at my chapter that looks at some of what's been going on in this current era at my web site http://www.PredictingHistory.com --- and if you have any ideas that don't involve becoming the president of Harvard or getting a column in The New Yorker, I'd be happy to hear them.
Meantime, I just thought you might like to know. Everything is about to change. YOU are about to change, but worse, so is the world. It's going to become more like the world we had from 1913 to mid 1945. You know the time --- when we got social security and the Ku Klux Klan. Oh yeah, and Hitler. That time.
So don't say you didn't have any warning.
Oh, and don't give me any crap about Mayan predictions. This is not prophecy. This is more like a weather report. Except probably more accurate.
