Public order deteriorates. As the Idealists approach middle age and begin to assume the reins of power for themselves the Adaptives drift off into elderhood and the Reactives enter adulthood in the frustrating aftermath of the spiritual event. Even then a protected generation of new Civics are being raised. This is where we are today. Socio-economic inequality rises.
Frenetic pleasure seeking lifestyles emerge.
Tolerance for other viewpoints lessens. Confidence in the future erodes. Wars become more likely and are fought with moral fervor. As the aging Idealists relinquish power to the pragmatic Reactives, now in middle age, a Civic generation feeling the power of their strong upbringing precipitate a secular event in which the institutions of Society are razed and the new is built on its ruins. A youthful Adaptive Generation looks on and is protected from it all.
