A regeneracy does not imply that all problems are solved, only that a consensus has been reached about how society is going to try to solve them, and that the populace is willing to allow them to play it out for the remainder of the 4T.Considering the intense anger on the Left, and the total determination to slash-and-burn on the Right, when and how do you see us arriving at a consensus? If you are assuming the force of external events, what are they? Because, frankly, the political standoff between urban and rural, religious and secular, open and closed is getting more intense every day. These differences involve world views that are deep and baked in. They don't just change on a whim.
The rule for changing entrenched beliefs is life-changing trauma. Is that your assumption? Geography and demographics make a parting of the ways out of the question, That doesn't leave many options.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
