Perspectives

While looking up info on Athens in 413 BC, I found myself on a number of different sites I'd seen before.  Which made it seem the right time to point to some of those sites, for anyone who is looking for additional information or alternative perspectives.

Lifecourse Associates - The consulting firm founded by Strauss & Howe. Includes links describing the theory and the current status of different generations and turnings. Reading the books is better, but it's still a perfectly good starting point.

The Fourth Turning - Site set up to promote the 1997 book. Includes Fourth Turning forums, with ongoing discussions on the theory, current events, and historical applications.

The Burning Platform (blog) - Updates a few times a month or more with reminders about how we are all doomed. The title refers to our current status, supported by a system that will collapse beneath us soon enough. Our foot will slide in due time...

Generational Dynamics - A continued and in-depth analysis and expansion of the theory, with some items that aren't necessarily as originally described by Strauss & Howe.

The TimePage - Silent Generation guy looking at history and Strauss & Howe. Blogs as well, with a frequent "Notable Historical Event."

James Goulding - Sections of his site delve deeply into American History, using the Strauss & Howe model.

The Art of Manliness - While not really about Strauss & Howe, the author of the blog is a fan and sometimes has posts about the theory.

Nameless - Site set up to promote the 2014 movie about Millennials. Includes an ongoing blog.

The Millennial Legacy  - A Millennial talking about being at this point in history et cetera.

It was The Burning Platform, incidentally, that had a comment about the doomed attack on Sicily in 413 BC - which is to say, about 80 years after the Battle of Marathon. Which suggests that it was the start of a new Crisis for the Athenians - and sure enough, despite some victories along the way, Athens had a rough time of it soon after.  Which I'll come back to soon.
