One thing we humans always look for is safety. And one of the most common and instinctive ways of doing this is by finding safety in numbers. We generally don't feel comfortable doing anything unless we see other people going first. At the same time, we are hierarchical animals. Every time they test this, and every way they test this, it always comes out that way. Humans are self-organizing, hierarchical creatures. So are chimps. And the higher up a chimp is on the food chain, the more sex he gets. And the more bananas he gets. And since we also line up according to hierarchy, AND we split from chimps over 6 million years ago, it's not hard to see how much this social hierarchy plays into our daily lives. Meaning the higher up we are on this hierarchy, the better off we'll be. For a long time, this was fine. So long as society stuck into a basic structure. So long as everybody followed the rules. But in the last decade or so, it's become every human for themselves. The

Mark Twain famously said history doesn't repeat, but it sure rhymes. There are plenty of theories that say history it's not a linear progression, that it is a cycle. A Russian dude named Kondratiev came up with these cyclical waves. That history more or less runs in cycles over 70 years or so. Another couple of guys, Strauss and Howe, came up with a similar idea. They tracked European history going back several hundred years. They are the ones that coined the term "millennial" to describe a certain generation. Their theory is there are four "archetype" generations. Each sub-cycle is twenty years. Baby boomers, generation X, millennials and generation Z. Their theory is that every 80 years, when the cycle of four generational archetypes repeat, there is major turmoil. This coincides with the revolutionary war, civil war, world war II and... We're about due for another cataclysmic event. (It's not helpful that the newest generations is called Z!) A com
