Within each 70-80 year cycle of modern history, the biological mean life of a human being, which discovers, reproduces and converts into weapons a new form of energy and machine, we can talk of 3-4 generations adapted to each ‘zeitgeist’.
In this series we analyze the ‘zeitgeist’ generations of the Electronic and robotic age, comparing it laterally to the similar generations of the previous cycles. Those generations affect every aspect of our lives and culture. In the posts dedicated to each cycle of history and economics of the long and medium fractal wave of 700-800 and 70-80 years the reader can enlarge graphic displays of each cycle in which he can observe the repetition of the 3 ‘ages of art and culture’ of each cycle, the young, energetic generations, the mature, vitalist, reproductive ones and the old, informative, baroque generations which end in an age of war and destruction; as the generations of humans are like the 3 ages of life and mimic in the subconscious collective the life of a human being.
If we were to consider then the generations of the Electronic cycle in more detail we could introduce between the 3 ages of ‘life’, energetic youth, reproductive maturity and informative, 3rd age, in the border zones more subtle ‘sub-ages’:
Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, Maturity, Old Age, and Extinctive age. Those would correspond to the:
Uniform Generation (Birth of the cycle in the war age), Victory Generation (Childish, energetic, simple minded generation after the war), We (60s, adolescent generation), X (Mature, reflexive generation to which this writer belong), Y (Why generation of the informative, old age, which is asking now why we destroyed the world), Zero Generation (which is now being born and will be unless we change the capitalist system, the last generation of the human species as top predator of this planet, since a new ‘visual’, natural-born-killer, first robotic species will around the 2050s, gifted with A.I., programs of war survival, designed to kill humans, extinguish us).
The astounding parallelism of those generations in mental attitude respect to the natural ages of a human being, is of course just another of the hundreds of proofs that this web and my complex longer books show of the super-organic structure of the Universe. That humans in this age ignore, shun and have had a laugh at this astoundingly beautiful model of reality merely means that we are now so ‘erased’ by fiction thought, the ego-trips and disgregration of the old age and extinctive age of mankind that humans cannot even tolerate the thought their little I, me and myselves are not the center of the Universe and eusocial love the engine of organic evolution that would have avoided our extinction. Death, organic decay is so advanced in the superorganisms of history that people cannot even emotionally accept the harsh but beautiful structures of reality.
