After all the fat, pregnant, but unusable alternatives are exhausted, somewhere around 2023, with nations once thought to be "below us"... like Iran and North Korea.... powering their countries with nuclear generators, and with sixty members in the nuclear club, instead of six, the truth will dawn that the West no longer dictates world policy, that billions formerly disenfranchised by ignorance, chauvinism, and Western Mercantile power wishing to live as if in Scarsdale or Beverly Hills, even while not leaving Asia, have had their way with us.... our children will play a long hard game of catchup, with the "New First World".... China, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran certainly, perhaps Brazil And Black South Africa, and their kids will ask to be sent to Brazil to attend college, or Iran, where the lights stay on 24 hrs, 7 days per week, not like in the USA, where civil anarchy, ethnic discord, and pandemic power blackouts make the once proud nation a loser's catchall. And all this will happen because such a fine lens, applied to anything in life, will prevent its use by one means or another, even if its use be sorely needed in the end. Those not so critical, not so longing for total ease, will simply take center stage, by default.
