The end of the Kali Yuga in 1899 signalled the end of the rule of the principle of authoritarianism in social life

  

Rudolf Steiner, Dornach, March 2, 1923:

Until the last third of the nineteenth century, the generation gap about which people talk superficially today was always there, but it was resolved in good philistine style, with youth gradually absorbing more and more philistine characteristics and entering, as it always had, into what its elders passed on to it.

Today, however, that is no longer possible. If one were to use terminology borrowed from Oriental wisdom, one would have to say that it became impossible when the Kali Yuga ended, because from that time forward social life was no longer ruled by the principle of authoritarianism as it had been heretofore.
