The question is whether the economy will be so shot as to prevent implementation of the whole blue agenda. If the virus does cripple us economically, more or less a year of production gone, there is apt to be one heck of an awakening.
I am still not sure, if crisis wars are not the inevitable Trigger, if having a Trigger will be the norm in an age of nukes. If not, the rhythm of the turnings could change significantly.
I'm not going to rule out large wars entirely, but I see your point. Global crises are needed to get a 4T rolling, and there aren't that many options out there. Let's agree that the next challenge will be climate --another natural phenomenon not controlled by homo sapien-sapien. I guess our progeny will have to create their own disasters.
As far as the impending 1T, that's also a bit of an enigma. Unless we dissolve into Blue America and Red America, achieving some universal direction seems unlikely.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
