Excellent read. When I compare events that Burning Bright is talking about, I compare them to the book "The Fourth Turning" (1997; Strauss & Howe) and realize that these two authors were describing the same events, but predicting them back when the book was published, 1997.
We are at the closing of an age, this current and soon-to-end Fourth Turning. I believe that Trump is the "grey champion" that the book talked about who will lead us into the next First Turning a couple of years into the future. I suspect it will be a time (a Turning) of relative peace and prosperity, and hopefully national unity.
In the book, every Fourth Turning in history (about 80 to 100 years apart) produces a "grey champion" who coalesces forces and leads the nation out of a "Crisis" Fourth Turning.
We are at such a time in history now, and it has be downright glorious to watch it fulfilled.
Klause Schwab wrote a book called Fourth Industrial Revolution. Sorry about you luck Klause.
Entirely different concept, has nothing to do with "The Fourth Turning." TFT is a historical work designed to understand and explain generational differences and how those differences guide history through inescapable cycles. Check it out, you might be intrigued by the theory.
As for Klaus Schwab, I don't care about anything he wrote, it's probably a lie or very wishful thinking.
