The basic polarity of the current 4T is populist-elitist, with nationalism as a secondary dimension of populism. The elites are well travelled, while those who cannot afford to travel are more parochial.
The next saeculum? Whoever wins the 4T becomes the establishment during the 1T. The polarity during the latter part of the saeculum will be those who will support the Neo-Missionary awakening versus those who will despise it. I see several possibilities:
- hedonism vs re-establishing classical moral virtues on the basis of Extropianism
- Earth worship vs space colonisation
- biological conservatism vs transhumanism
