Not to be all dystopian on a Friday, but almost half the country have demonstrated that they cannot deal with the arrival of a future that acknowledges the rights of other races and other genders, and are utterly unprepared for the three really massive forces of change that are about to make their presence felt.
- Climate Change
- Demographic Transition
- Industry 4.0
If someone was struggling to cope with the idea of a black transwoman, then those three forces are going to hit like a tsunami

Que?
The WEF coined the term "Industry 4.0" to serve as a useful collective noun for emerging technology interactions that are driving us to a very different future in which many current habits and policies would be very maladaptive.
Exactly the OPPOSITE of "saving the whale oil industry", and very much about the need to prepare and adapt to rapid change across many industries, and the extinction of many "whale oil" industries and specialties

All terms are "made up". That's how language works.
Language is representational, not realty itself - "The map is not the terrain"
