Generational Dynamics Web Log for 22-Nov-07
On Thanksgiving, thank you to my readers.

Web Log - November, 2007

On Thanksgiving, thank you to my readers.

The number of regular readers to this web site has been growing steadily over the past year, and I thank all of you who keep coming back.

I particularly want to thank the four people who donated a total of $441. This was extremely generous and unexpected.

I often receive e-mail messages from people who call me insane or psychopathic. I chuckle at these, and I note that as the world situation deteriorates I'm getting far fewer of them.

More important, I also get e-mail messages from people who thank me profusely for "saving" them and their families, by allowing them to prepare for what's coming. I'm very thankful for these messages. These messages are very special to me, and they make all the work that I put into this web site worthwhile.

I'm very proud of the work that I've done in the development of Generational Dynamics, because I've accomplished so much, as I've shown on this web site. The amount of resistance to accepting anything this new, especially from Boomer academics, is enormous, and quite honestly I don't expect to survive long enough to see generational theory as an established academic pursuit. Nonetheless, with more and more people reading this web site, I hope that I've created a nucleus of interest that will grow as this extremely important analytical and forecasting methodology becomes better recognized.

I want to thank Bill Strauss and Neil Howe, the founding fathers of generational theory, as described in their 1995 book, The Fourth Turning. Generational Dynamics builds on top of their theory, and without their work it would not have happened. I've just learned recently that Bill is seriously ill with cancer. I wish him well.

I'm still managing to keep up with all e-mail questions sent to me, though it sometimes takes a few days (or longer) for me to get back with a response, depending on volume of e-mail. So if you have a question, by all means send me an e-mail message, or use the "Comment" link at the top of this page.

If you want to have a more open debate, you can do so in the "Objections to Generational Dynamics" thread of the Fourth Turning forum.

A web site reader recently wrote to me to wonder if there was any "redemption" for people like me. I wrote back to her that if there is any redemption, it comes about from people who read this web site and who take action in their own lives.

As I've said many times: No one can stop what's coming, any more than anyone can stop a tsunami. You can't stop what's coming, but you can prepare for it. Treasure the time you have left, and use the time to prepare yourself, your family, your community and your nation.

If you haven't heeded that advice yet, then now is the time to do it. (22-Nov-07) Permanent Link
