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.
