Brandon Quittem is a the Author of The Mycelium of Money and VP at Swan. In this episode, we discuss the fourth turning, how history’s generational cycles shape today’s political chaos, and why Bitcoin could be the institution that emerges from the wreckage of a failing system.

We explore the death of monoculture, the erosion of trust in institutions, and whether the coming crisis ends in war, civil unrest, or a re-founding of the American republic. Brandon also breaks down how generational archetypes repeat across history, why social cohesion feels impossible in the algorithmic age, and how Bitcoiners can help reshape the world.

In this episode:

- The Fourth Turning framework and why 2008 was the catalyst

- Loss of faith in institutions and the rise of political nihilism

- Monoculture, social fragmentation, and the crisis of identity

- Why every Fourth Turning ends in war

- How Bitcoin could serve as the foundation for the next era
