I always worry a bit when Clif goes out on a limb with specific dates or numbers. When you know his process, he admits that specific numbers are difficult or impossible to predict with the linguistics approach. Unless a specific line falls out the linguistics in multiple, reinforcing areas.
For the next two weeks, naysayers will certainly be henpecking this with things like “It hasn’t ended the world yet” or “that’s not a big problem”. The effects of these ’16 days in July’ may not become totally visible until sometime afterwards. It is the linguistics of ‘looking back’ from the future that Clif is charting here. So we may not know the full effects for some time afterward.
That said, people should understand that the linguistics of the ’16 days in July’ , when looked back upon from the future, indicate something that will be a generational changing thing, and people looking back will say later that it all began back in those ’16 days in July’. …whatever it is.
We live in interesting times. Pass the popcorn and watch them unfold!
