Hey Neil, Love your work. The deeper we get into the Trump-era, the more it feels to me like the Obama-era might have actually been an extension of the third-turning, and that the fourth turning might not have truly started until Trump rode down his golden escalator in 2015. It also feels like we are so deep into this, it's hard for me to imagine a true first-turning starting within 10 years of the present. Any chance the third-turning is more accurately dated something like 1985-2015, and the fourth-turning could be something like 2015-2045? The full saeculum would be 1945-2045, or a full century, which is in line with many of the ancient saeculums you identified in your book "The Fourth Turning is Here." Thanks.
