View Full Version : How the current unrest was predicted 10 years ago...

Back in 2010, Peter Turchin - a scientist who studies human societies - predicted that a new period of social instability would start around 2020...

...And it would last for 10-15 years...

He says it's part of a 50-year cycle. Some previous periods of social instability were around 1870, 1920, and 1970...

And it's not some "quack" theory. 10 years ago, he got some of his thoughts on this published in the most prestigious scientific journal on the planet... Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/463608a)...

That kind of puts a whole new spin on things, in my opinion...

There will be plenty of new opportunities, too.

Think back to 1970... What opportunities were around the corner at that time?

Best wishes,

Dien
