CannCon and Ashe in America continue their journey through The Fourth Turning, diving into Chapter 6, which explores the “American High” from 1946 to 1964. They discuss how post–World War II optimism, economic expansion, and the rise of suburbia shaped a generation, while also planting the seeds of conformity, consumerism, and cultural stagnation. The hosts highlight how generational archetypes shifted during this era, with the Lost Generation entering elderhood, GIs moving into midlife, and Boomers arriving as children. They unpack the authors’ framework of turnings and constellations, exploring how historical cycles repeat and how manipulation by elites can alter their trajectory. Along the way, they connect these historical insights to today’s political and cultural struggles, reflecting on the erosion of the family, the rise of globalist influence, and whether the natural rhythms of history can be delayed or redirected in the age of surveillance and propaganda. It’s a thoughtful blend of history, prophecy, and present-day reflection that grounds the abstract theory of cycles in lived experience.
