Back in 2014-2015ish, a few different articles were published about how everything was going to unwind around the 2019-2021 time frame. Social unrest, economic problems, etc were all predicted and it would take about 8-10 years to climb back out. There was a particular article that was incredibly fascinating, a researcher who studied the hunting habits of predators (ex:wolves) was able to use the same metrics and apply them to humans/society and also predicted societal unrest/collapse. I've never been able to find the articles again, it disappeared from the Internet. Nothing lasts for ever, there is always calamity at some point whether it's natural or man made. I figure without a world war, climate change will probably be the catalyst. On that note, I remember a ship that landed in BC, Canada with 300 Sri Lankans about a decade ago, it caused an uproar across Canada. People were so pissed off that they wanted to send them back and were even saying the Canadian Coast Guard should have sunk the ship at sea. Can you imagine what happens when climate change sends 100's of ships a day with 10's of thousands of people everyday. I suspect the southern US boarder will be overwhelmed with millions of refugees also. It all feels like the beginning of the end,interesting times....

- LinuxBender 5y agoAnother theory that has been circulating around is "The Fourth Turning" based on a book authors writings. You can find various Youtube videos on this. [1] This describes 80 year cycles that break down into 4 phases / generations. I don't have an opinion on it.

- colineartheta 5y agoI remember these articles, but sadly didn’t save them either. I believe the author was Peter Turchin, who studies “structural dynamic cycles” and advanced a theoretical framework called “cliodynamics”. He certainly seems to be onto something…[1] [1] https://time.com/5852397/turchin-2020-prediction/ https://time.com/5852397/turchin-2020-prediction/
