Short section that details the Etruscans cyclical measure of times, their fairly accurate prediction of their societies end date, and Romes adoption of this Etruscan ritual paired with their even more accurate prediction of their expiration. Went down a Etruria rabbit-hole after as I did not know of this ancient civilization.

“During each of these previous Third Turnings, Americans felt like they were drifting towards a waterfall. And, as it turned out, they were.”
As it briefly summarizes the mood and struggles of previous Third and Fourth Turnings, the 1760’s into the American Revolution, the 1850’s into the Civil War, the 1920’s into the Great Depression and WWII, “Sound familiar?” becomes the mantra for the section.

“Then came the Global Financial Crisis, the rise of populism, and the pandemic. These were three hits that a healthy democracy could have withstood but that caused ours to buckle and give way, revealing pillars and beams that had been decaying for decades.”
The book starts off very bleak, but reflects the mood of the nation. It grounds the theory in this reality before predicting the more optimistic aftermath.
