The Sekhmet Hypothesis

It also suggested that major youth trends could be correlated to peaks in the 11 year solar cycle; this idea was later rejected by the author in 1999.

[8][9] By the late 1960s psychologists such as Eric Berne,[10] Thomas Harris[11] and Claude Steiner[12] had changed Leary's holistic guide to one which favoured the life position of 'I'm okay, you're okay' over all the other scripts.

[14][15][16][17] Morrison has discussed their own views on the hypothesis in their book Supergods (2011)[18] citing the topic as an influence on their New X-Men story arc 'Riot at Xavier's'.

[19] The story's lead character, Kid Omega, develops hostile strength tendencies which run out of control with dire consequences for his school.

In the late eighties and nineties, rave culture along with early drum and bass supposedly presents a mood based mainly on 'friendly strength'.

[24] Grant Morrison and Iain Spence have split views on the subject of hostile strength played out through youth culture.

Unlike Harris and Berne, Spence argues that hostile strength does not have to be "demonised or criminalised" as a mood, claiming that it is only one part of a balanced quaternity of behaviour.

[32] Grant Morrison revived the original solar link in 2011 in their book Supergods but didn't offer any scientific evidence in support of their views.
