The Doctrine of the Three Generations outlines a recurring cycle in history based on three personality-driven political archetypes:
First Generation (Liberal/Subsistence-based): Emphasizes equality and self-reliance but leads to stagnation; associated with tribal societies and early American settlers.
Second Generation (Conservative/Industrialized): Fueled by surplus and hierarchy; drives innovation, progress, and inequality—seen in industrial Britain and post-settlement America.
Third Generation (Apriorian/Christian): Rooted in spiritual principles; promotes cooperation, moral responsibility, and upliftment—not through force but inspired mutual growth.
Only the Third Generation model—grounded in Christian ethics—can create a truly just, prosperous society.
