Is it a coincidence that the Evined cycle is Devine spelled backwards?
 Though maybe we are in a new era and ought to take a look at that ....

People are forgetting the 3,000-year Evined cycle, which has been
well-documented even though as yet there is only one data point.
The Evined theory encorporates 10 Braudel "duree'" cycles, each
of which encorporates 6 Kondratieff waves, each of which encorporates
5 10-year cycles.  BTW, most scholars of the Evined cycle have
concluded that we've just finished a 1,500-year "up phase"
(a.k.a., the "rise of the Western World") and are about to
commence a 1,500-year "down phase."  One of the clearest signs
of this reversal is the widespread popularity of the TV show
"Barney" and the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" as replacements
for previous world religions such as Christianity, Judaism,
and Islam.  However, it should be noticed that the ubiquitous
phenomenon of overdetermination again plays a role: on the
political level, the rising popularity of the "Phil Donahue"
haircut among politicians seems a harbinger of the beginning
of the end.
