The pendulum has begun swinging in the other direction. Seems to follow roughly a seven year cycle. As the world shifts to a more conservative paradigm in the coming years, I hope that people are reminded that things will go too far before self-correcting and find solace in the fact that most people have settled in the middle.

Curious about examples the other way from seven years ago and about similar examples fourteen years ago. Sounds like an interesting hypothesis.

No way the frequency of the cycle is around seven years. More like 100 years. Also not sure if the pendulum has begun swinging back. I guess it depends on which pendulum you focus on. Taking an obvious one (net immigration into the European wellfare systems), it would seem that the pendulum is still accelerating.
