Donald Trump is a catalyst. People care now in a way they didn't. The American institutions were rusting now they are being revitalised. Trump is a lightning rod.

...comparing the capacity of computers to the capacity of the human brain, I've often wondered, where does our success come from? The answer is synthesis, the ability to combine creativity and calculation, art and science, into whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.
