To clarify, it is a burgeoning sense of collectivism in the air right now, as it feels like everyone is playing “Hungry, Hungry Hippo” to plant the flag of what that collectivism will look like in the next saeculum, specifically ‘Spring’. I suspect we would simply call it ‘the culture war’.
While I’ve learned that no amount of careful wording or positive intent in a podcast can avoid people finding offense, I think it’s important to make it clear I have no dislike of any generation and am always made optimistic when I experience people who show up as good representatives. As mentioned multiple times in the podcast, all of the archetypal energies are needed.

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of how generations are talked about outside of this model. The titles feel more like reasons to accuse younger/older folk of things in media than a desire to truly understanding. Thanks for commenting. :)

I agree that how we’re treated in school has a big influence on us as well as at home. I hadn’t really considered how little guidance we had as X’ers when we were given projects and that we still had to figure it out, which would definitely send a message on how ‘can do’ we all had to be. Thanks for the comment!

Also, I believe I heard (or read) somewhere that Europe is on a different saeculum cycle than the U.S. For example, WWI may have been the culmination of their ‘Winter’. If other countries/continents are experiencing different generational archetypes would be different from the U.S. at the same time in history, it may influence people who lived other places when young.

I agree – Boomers will still have contribution, and I think we’ll see more and more of older generations influencing saeculums in unusual ways as our life span increases. Thanks for the comment!
