Although many scholars have refuted Strauss & Howe's theory, it has staying power. Perhaps it is like Astrology. It is not the message that is in error, but in the way we interpret it. As Marshall McLuhan proclaimed, "the medium is the message!" In the Western World, social media seems to trump every nuance of critical thinking based on factual evidence. There are always alternate facts ready to refute them. But I am still waiting for the Great Awakening of the Civics who will respond en masse to a leader they respect. Perhaps Volodymyr Zelenskyy is that leader? George Washington was an unlikely leader too, until stories of his courage and integrity were spread by the young volunteers who saw him in action.
