Eric,
I do check your website from time to time and I do feel you are predicting in the right direction. I agree with you that the 21st century will primarily be a more peaceful century. I think globalisation (thanks to covid) will slow down but we won't be entering a closed world of national rivalries either.
The reason is as you stated when I first posted here. Most people just want a good life and are still profiting from the current status quo so there is no desire to go and die for the flag so to say.
Regarding the West and the green awakening, you actually gave me a good thought regarding this. Perhaps what I'm seeing is the birth of this new awakening taking place first in Britain and then spreading across the globe? It sort of makes sense the more I think about it because I only see Britain, at least to begin with.
As for Eastern Europe, all I see them doing is adopting more democracy and improving their economies, but it is progressive. Russia is where it gets interesting as Russia is simply too big to join the West and too Liberal to join with China. She will have to chart out a different path which is why her time is coming although it won't be for at least another century before what I forsee as the birth of an entirely new culture taking shape here.
As for Islam, well the problem Islam has is that it is basically at the same stage Christianity was 500 years ago. All Montheistic faiths usually tend to follow the same pattern.
I do forsee like what you predict with Islam sort of changing this century but I would say that it won't be an actual reformation which the religion needs. Instead it will be more akin to the reforms of Kemal Ataturk. However, until Islam can actually have a reformation, it will eventually go back towards caliphate mode as we now see with Erdogans Turkey. Or the taliban in Afghanistan. Or Ayatollah Khomeini and Iran.
Islam has a long way to go yet but I do see them calming down in this century as I feel they have had their major wars and they simply want to rebuild.
