Many people seem shocked by what’s happening, most recently in the Minneapolis and Greenland conflicts, though also in many other ways over the last year.
In my opinion, that’s because they don’t understand what’s going on with the breakdown of the post-World War II monetary, domestic political, and international political orders. This is happening in classic Big Cycle ways that have repeated throughout history and were laid out in detail in my book, Principles for Dealing With the Changing World Order, which I wrote about five years ago. In that book, I described how the Big Cycle unfolds in stages with clear characteristics, and I outlined the cause-and-effect relationships one can follow to identify where we are in the Big Cycle and what is likely to happen next.
With that perspective, it is clear to me that we are in Stage 5 (the pre-breakdown of the orders period) and on the brink of Stage 6 (the breaking down of the old orders). In my latest article, I review the developments that characterize Stages 5 and 6 and relate them to what is happening.
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I can't say I'm surprised. Disappointed, yes. Not because of my personal profile. But for my daughter who can't message her friends and for my team who no longer has access to our Instagram account. Know anyone that can help? Let me know.
I think it's sad when companies lose their humanity, and I just experienced firsthand how bad this can get.
Right before the holidays, I got an email saying my @facebook account was disabled. My first thought: "Must be spam." It wasn't.
@facebook , the company built on the idea of bringing humans together, doesn't give you a way to get help or communicate with any human being. No support. Nothing.
Most of the successful leaders I know aren't in glass towers working 80-hour weeks. They're walking. Sitting by water. Finding environments that help them think instead of drain them.

"Before kids, I thought abundance meant more — more time, more success, more control. But it’s actually quite the opposite. Moments of abundance are found in realizing just how scarce your resources are." @polinapompliano
