I’m not saying it’s obvious that this will happen in the near future. But what is obvious is that there a new local energy minimum on the horizon which is capable of unleashing tremendous latent energy once we move in that direction.
Just like the reformation unleashed the latent energy of giving spirituality and agency back into people’s hands. The reformation was not an arbitrary event of chance, it eventually happened because of its more optimal state.
Separation of church and state, once it is available, is a more optimal state just like separation of money and state is more optimal. The separation of money and state can now, for the first time, be delivered in a stable form.
