I never expected Clif to teach me so much about how tides work! That information was offered as Clif developed the notion behind the phrase "the turning of the tide." Important to note is the fact that there is a "pause" (of uncertain duration) at the changing of the tide from one direction to its opposite. The analogy is that we are in such a pause, such a "turning of the tide," right now, in our collective social, psychological, and geopolitical experience.
This video (runtime: 55:51) meanders quite a bit and can be difficult to follow at times. That said, I personally find Clif to be so entertaining and educational in so many ways that I am willing to stumble along behind his thought process in order to discover the marvelous intellectual journey he always lays out. In some ways, Clif is a kindred soul, like a brother of a different mother, but that's another story.
Again, please forgive him the occasional use of "gutter-mouth." After all, he uses it well, at least.
