011: The Fourth Turning

We’re surrounded by patterns, in nature and in history. And these patterns remind us that everything will be ok.

In 1965 British psychoanalyst, Elliott Jaques coined the phrase Midlife Crisis. He described it as a period in which we come face-to-face with our limitations, our restricted possibilities, and our mortality. A period of sudden awakening.

Ironically, 3000 miles to the west, America was in the midst of its own midlife crisis. Political change, social change, space travel and great music defined the years 1965 and 1984. America was questioning the norm, searching for meaning.

Was it a once-in-a-lifetime awakening or something else? Part of a recurring pattern that's happened before.  A turning from one generation to the next?

Episode 11 is all about patterns. And... apples. Well, they are connected. You'll just have to listen to find out how.
