Professor Jiang Xueqin | Predictive History, Western Collapse, & The Ivy League Issue

00:12 Planet's puppet masters almost surely have a plan around Mothman. And until we've thoroughly tested his closed-chested view, I'll poop without THC cause we know they're lying to us just don't know to what degree without THC I'd catch a Greg Carlwood and company

01:10 Serenity Now, Hiresight Chatters. From the Sunshine State I'm Greg Carlwood and one of the biggest frustrations a lot of us have with conventional geopolitical analysis is repeatedly seeing academics and historians that know all the right names and dates yet they have a terrible grasp on true power in the mindset of those who have it and want to keep it They remain ignorant of unadvertised motivations secret packs and occulted belief systems that actually make the gears of The Big Machine move They assume the goal of benevolent governance rather than complete subjugation and wealth extraction. They assume altruism when really they should be thinking unbridled global dominance." We're told to never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, but what is the functional difference between an incompetent elite class and an apathetic or even psychopathic one? How convenient that our first assumption should be that they mean well!

02:02 even if the data shows us continuing to slide deeper into the red. When can we seek accountability based on the results rather than some hypothetical inference that they were at least trying to help? Well, one educator that seems to be bucking the trend in assumed elite ethics and going quite viral for it is today's guest Professor Jiang of Predictive History. He started posting the lectures to his high school students in Beijing to YouTube in April 2024 and has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, raking up millions of views because he's willing to explain how power really works throughout history. On his channel you'll find lectures on damn near everything meritocracy Christian Zionism geopolitics Gnosticism human psychology How societies collapse secret histories secret societies the weaponization of culture and most importantly an objective and honest look at empathy

02:51 game theory and cycles in ways that help us better contextualize our own times. He also authors the number one rising sub stack page in world politics, again under the name Predictive History inspired by Isaac Asimov's foundation series and the concept of psycho history professor Jiang seeks to start a new global intellectual academic movement that connects us to the past explains the present and even predicts what we can expect in the future through this predictive history lens So let's dive into it. The global elite educator, psycho history sense maker and China's own Harry Sheldon Professor Jiang welcome to the higher side Thank you so much Greg

03:29 Yes, it is a real pleasure and honor. I'm a big fan of what you do and how you do it. I'm a real sucker for a nice whiteboard presentation but elaborate on the goal and approach that you take obviously history lectures are nothing new but why do you think yours have resonated so much? So thank you so much for inviting me Gregg. I am a big fan of yours. I've been watching your interviews for the past couple days But before I answer your question, I want to tell a story about how we got to this point because I think your viewers will find it really interesting. So, I was watching Kirk Metzger's live stream and you were on the live stream a couple weeks ago. You guys were having this great conversation and you would make some great points and I was feeling like how I would love to sit down with you guys and engage in the conversation but then suddenly a person gives you super chat

04:21 on the screen my name comes up and says, hey have you guys seen Print Good of History? What do you think of Professor Jiang? You know I'm like wow that's interesting. And then the next day you email me and say hey i would love to interview you! Then right back in meeting he says hey I would love to talk to you as well. So it seems as though the universe wants us to be here today, it seems as though the universe wants this moment to happen so I'm really excited to talk to you today! I've been watching your videos for the past couple of days and I love your interviews and questions that you ask I love your approach. I just love the way that you see the universe, so I just want to get it out there before we begin." Wow! Super kind of you and yes, I agree that I like synchronicities that happen like that and here we are. Yeah, so to answer your question... So i'm trying to start a movement that re-examines how study is analyzed and presented

05:17 My concern with History Before is that it tells a great story, it's very entertaining but it seems incoherent. There are different pieces and they all seem off in their own little silos and so we don't really see history as a coherent narrative about how we got to where we are and where we're going. So my thinking is that Each time you tell a story, you are making certain assumptions about the values about mores of people. And so what you can do is take these assumptions and extend it forward You can extrapolate them into the future and your analytical model becomes your predictive model What this means is that just by making predictions about the future based on your understanding of history

06:03 if your understanding of history is correct or not. So I believe that historians ought to be making more predictions about the world in order to test their own models, in order validate and refine their own analytical models. And so what I've done is that in the past two years, I've told a story civilization of humanity from the Ice Age up to the very present, the Pax Americana And so embedded in this analysis are these frameworks of how history moves, of how history develops. Based on that I can now make certain assumptions or predictions about where we're going next 50 years and these predictions will then allow me to validate my analytical models

06:48 That's the basic premise of what I'm trying to do. Yes, and I think it's going really well if you look at your most popular videos the number one up there million and a half views is you talking about the Iran trap And a year ago, you kind of broke down the geopolitical strategy between the U S Israel and Iran basically laying out well in advance. A lot of what has happened in the last year and the motivations behind the actions and where it will go now let's start there talk to us a little bit about that decline of the West which is a huge theme in your work and the geopolitical actions you expect to be taken as this process kind of runs its course.

07:51 And we're very much seeing this sort of behavior today where America is heavily in debt, economic inequality is off the charts. The bureaucracy, the political elite it's ossified, it is insular and it stagnant and it's very corrupt And America right now is, the empire is overextended. It has over 800 military bases around the world it's fighting all these wars both shadow wars and overt wars everywhere and as a result we can see that in the next 10-20 years there will be decline in American power but this decline will be erratic, violent and very destructive

08:36 So that's what I see happening right now. Yes, and you have one lecture where you put up three columns and you talk about kind of the stages of a civilization... in the beginning or in the rise, and the good times a civilization is very open. And then as things are progressing and going well it gets increasingly bureaucratic because there's more people involved in all the processes and they get very bogged down. Then it goes to a stage of authoritarian. And to me, that resonates a lot because for the longest time we've talked about how nothing gets done in this country because they kind of hide behind the gridlock the left-right divide. They're like well I mean we just can't get the votes! We can't do anything sorry people we can't do anything to raise your wages or help you or give you any relief because we just don't have the votes it's it's the other team and it goes back and forth and yes incredibly bureaucratic and then people get so frustrated they say you know what? Just bring in a guy

09:36 to break everything, like just bringing a guy to get some shit done. And yeah it's a double-edged sword because our country is not founded on authoritarianism necessarily or the idea of one person we try to get away from kingship it seems like that's the American story but yet we get to a point where were so frustrated with no progress and the bureaucracy that we are almost asking in a problem reaction solution sort of way for someone to cut through all the checks and balances, and just get something done for us. So I think that model... And there are other elements of it but yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head with how it's kind of gamed to get us to ask for an authoritarian figure. That's right so classic analogy is of course the fall of the Roman Republic

10:25 when you have a few patrician families, they've monopolized all the resources. And the way that they create wealth is by enforcing everyone else to go into heavy debt. So one huge issue during the fall of the Roman Republic was the monopolization of land, the precision class, their aristocratic class, they control and have monopolized all the land and everyone else was heavily in debt. And we're seeing the same issue in America today where you have a few corporations BlackRock Vanguard and they've monopolized all the resources, even the land itself. So you know the average American has become a rentier now it's become that the rentier economy so it's a very similar pattern in history and as you know during the father of the Roman Republic you had a series of crises um and certain individuals are extremely charismatic they came into power

11:21 into power promising to change the system. You first have had the Gracchi brothers, then you had Sola and you had Julius Caesar and finally you finally had Augustus Caesar so it seems as though America will follow this pattern and Trump is one of first great demagogues that's sort of being propelled into power because of a discontent with people and he promised very much Um, smash the system. Well that's great to hear that Trump is just the first of a couple demagogues we might get before it all falls apart. So in one of your most popular lectures to get more specific you lay out five predictions for the West and the next five to 10 years maybe it takes 20 You know, it's more about the trend not the exact speed in which we run through these things but The 5R decline of democracy and freedom More authoritarian approaches to things check

12:13 economic collapse as people have less rights to speak up in the system. They also have less will to work and the system collapses, they're less vested in that I think we see that with the younger generations in particular and then immigration so they say let's bring in the immigrants to do the work that the people don't want to do and then that results in conflicts and civil war as you say and then the elite will say well Now that the people are fighting, before they think this through and come for us. The real problem let's send them to die in stupid foreign wars." And you say that we will see all five of these things happen maybe in a slightly different order but they do kind of cascade at this point in the life cycle You either get war or revolution you say and to avoid revolution the elite will

13:03 So what are some recent events that you might cite as evidence that these predictions are well on their way to coming true, especially the foreign wars aspect? Well I mean first of all in American domestic politics you have tremendous political polarization and this polarization creates gridlock. Today in America they've shut down the government so that's one sign another sign is for the past few months Trump has deployed ICE agents into American cities. But the thing is that the rate of deportation under Trump, it's still lower than that under Obama. So then you ask yourself so many agents are being deployed but not that many immigrants are being deported well why is this happening?

13:53 The answer of course is that Trump is trying to create a police state. You also have the deployment of National Guard units, um two major cities in America you have massive clampdown on social media right so recently TikTok has been bought by Larry Ellison we can expect uh major changes to the algorithm and so people's ability to express themselves will be severely limited And of course, yesterday Peter Hexdef and Donald Trump spoke to 800 generals. And it seems as though it was a pep rally. Now what was disturbing about the pep rally is that Peter Hexdef kept on emphasizing the enemy, but he was not being specific about who the enemy is. There were no objectives being articulated. There were no timelines

14:43 So it seemed as though America was about to go to war for everyone, right? I mean like if you just said that China is our number one enemy and we must prepare ourselves for the 21st century confrontation with China. And that's a defining strategic objective of America. That makes sense or if he said Russia or if he said okay our focus is on the homeland but here was being very very ambiguous about who the enemy is And so it seems like a very open-ended process. So that to me is very, very worrying and of course Donald Trump has been saying for a long time now that these democratic cities, sanctuary cities Chicago and Boston in New York City they're actually a threat to the Republic because they refuse their authority of the president

15:29 And so we can expect greater clashes between these urban cities and Washington DC moving forward. As you know, Russia and Iran have both come out and said that they expect Israel to strike Iran again next week or two weeks. We can expect that when Israel does this it will do this with a full support of Trump and the Pentagon, and we can expect that Iran will respond much more violently than in the first war, the 12-day war. And this will lead to a cascading effect where eventually you might see a sustained war where America deploys ground troops. You could also see possibly Iran closing on the Strait of Hormuz which would drag in other countries as well and this could be at the beginning of World War III. If you look at what's happening in Europe recently there were the Moldova elections where pro European party

16:30 retain power and we can expect more conflict between Moldova and Russia. France, Britain and Germany have already come out and said that they want their hospitals to be ready for mass casualty events starting next year. You have these drone incursions into Poland, into your NATO nations so I mean all the signs are we're moving towards major global conflicts as well as domestic repression in America Yes, that's a great summary. And I've heard you say when it comes to Russia-Ukraine Ukraine there are estimates of over 1 million dead already and the average age of their soldiers is now 40 or over 40 which is like really not sustainable It basically shows they're out of people to throw at this thing

17:18 And you say that from there, you expect NATO countries like France to say okay we're sending people in and now it's on. You know at that point, you got European nations fighting directly with Russia and it's not this isolated thing just to Ukraine so that's one problem but then I've also heard you talk about the Middle East and the game theory of it all Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Three countries that are definitely not aligned they're in opposition to each other but yet they all would benefit from America getting bogged down in the Middle East and in particular ground troops in Iran which sounds so far-fetched because

18:01 There's a perception narrative here that Trump actually doesn't want war, but there are people in the cabinet and in the deep state that are foaming at the mouth just dying to get into a war. That would be why he did something like that strike on Iran—that precision strike on nuclear facilities. It was kind of to say look you've been hyping up this problem I'm going do a precision strike to take care of that problem and keep the conflict tampered down then we can say it is done And so there is a perception that Trump himself doesn't really like war. He'd prefer to just do business, different kinds of business and war kind of gets in the way of that business. I don't know how true that is but it seems like the American machine is more than just one man regardless of how he might feel. But talk to us about that aspect that Israel Saudi Arabia and Iran all kind of want the same thing when it comes to America benefits them all even though you wouldn't necessarily think that on the surface Okay

18:58 So what's happening in the Middle East, it is very complicated. And it's very easy to reduce it into just an issue of pure economics America right now is heavily in debt. It has $37 trillion dollars in debt and so it needs other countries especially East Asia China Japan specifically, to continue to buy up US treasuries. So right now the American economy is one giant Ponzi scheme and it needs people to continue to buy up US treasuries in order for this Ponzi scheme to continue so it makes sense for America to take control over the entire global oil supply right? If you go and you control Iran then you control the entire Middle East oil supply

19:40 But then you also go into Venezuela, which has been proven to have the world's largest oil reserves. So you control Venezuela and Iran... Saudi Arabia is already an ally, well then you can now dictate oil prices to Japan and to South Korea and to China because their entire economy is dependent on Middle Eastern oil. You can also dictate oil prices to Europe as well. So purely from the economic perspective going into Iran makes sense but I think that actually a much deeper element and it's eschatological

20:17 What I mean by that is that there are certain religious elements that control the American national security apparatus. These are the Christian Zionists, Evangelicals, you also have the Freemasons, you also have the Mormons, you also have the Jesuits, you also have these religious extremist Jews they're all want a war to erupt in the Middle East because for them it's fulfillment of biblical prophecy. They have these grand plans for the future, it's messianic and they think that by initiating a war in the Middle East and dragging the entire world to start World War III you will create something called The War of Gog and Magog. When The War of Gog and Magog

21:01 emerges, then the Jewish Messiah will return. Jesus will return. You have a world government So different, you know religious traditions have different eschatologies but they all want this war in the Middle East in order to fulfill their prophecy. It's almost like a script to them and I believe that these different religious elements have been working together controlling the national security apparatus and that's how we got to the point where uh we are today And people will argue listen um I think you can legitimately argue that this goes way back

21:37 to the founding of America. That America was founded in order to achieve this biblical prophecy and it links up with the JFK assassination, it links up with 9-11 and this is a culmination of a plan that's that was hatched centuries ago. And as a result they're kind of desperate they're kinda in a rush they're anxious to actually achieve this plan on very short timeline, like within the next five to 10 years. It's like they've been running a marathon for 100 days and now they finally see the finish line. And the finish line might be up at like a steep mountain but they still want to get there even though it kills them. So yeah so I think you can see what's happening in the Middle East from a purely economic realistic perspective but i think that if you really want understand what's going on then you need to go deeper and examine the religious eschatological elements. One way to test our theory is

22:30 Look at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I believe for next six months to a year, that thing will be destroyed and i'm sure you and your listeners understand what this means for the world. The entire Islamic world will be up in arms if it destroyed the third holiest site in Islam And if you just look at it from a purely geopolitical perspective You don't understand why they would do that but you have to understand that For all these different religious elements destroying that Al-Azhar mosque and building a third temple, it is fundamental to achieving the biblical prophecy that they have in mind. Yes and I think it's so interesting to watch your lectures where you get into Gnosticism and the Nephilim and The Book of Enoch is on your recommended reading list for your students. I mean, I just think it's so odd to see that! To see a Chinese high school teacher teaching kids

23:26 about the book of Enoch because it relates to how power in the West operates. And sometimes I think it's quite silly that it all comes down to this book and no one is really sure how much stock to even put into a book, and like this... It is weird that it drives everything. I am curious about the East. The East obviously has its own religions. I'm thinking more Buddhism as opposed to Islam because that's another Abrahamic religion But is there anything like that when it comes to the history of power in China or the East and the notion of trying to manifest some old prophecy from some old religious residue over the last couple hundred years? Is that uniquely Western? I mean, I can't even say Western because again we're talking about Israel. We're talking about Iran. They are part components of this but in terms of China's history, is there any kind

24:22 China is in a unique situation because for thousands of years, China was isolated from the rest of the world. So if you go back and look at world history, Iran, the Persian Empire Israel, Egypt, Europe. They were always in contact with each other they're always in a dialectic with each other and that's why Western civilization is so diverse it is so eschatological but if you look at China China has these natural boundaries are protected from too much Western influence right? So to the east you have the sea To the west of the Himalayas to the south You have the jungles of Southeast Asia to North you have the desert

25:09 So China was able to maintain its distance and its territorial integrity. And because of this, it was able to develop a bureaucracy that was in charge for thousands of years. Now bureaucracies don't like religion Bureaucracies see religion as a threat because religion has a way of exciting people in unexpected and unpredictable ways. And so all these different religious traditions that existed in China were slowly diluted, or you can even use the word lobotomized. And they lost their almost divinity. They lost their connections to

25:50 the divine. And an example of this is how in China we actually don't have that much mythology, we don't have that many stories that we tell each other so you know in the West every holiday has you know layers and layers of rich mythology whereas in China our holidays like Chinese New Year's, Vietnamese festival it's all about food! It's all about people getting together and having food It doesn't really go into the past and discuss how we reach this point. And the reason why is that stories allow people to have an imagination, and that's a threat

26:27 to the bureaucratic worldview. And as a result, for thousands of years there was heavy censorship in China so all these Chinese classics that we still read today they're very much diluted versions of the original it sort of lacks imagination it lacks originality It seems very much like a bureaucratic took these stories and then bottomized these stories of their creativity and their originality So that's the issue in China today. how I consume these things. But let's talk about China a little bit more because you recently tweeted, in America you can criticize individuals but you cannot criticize the system and China you can criticize the system but you cannot criticize individuals and i'm curious how true that is and where the truth is compared to the propaganda

27:23 that we get inside of the American bubble. We hear that China is a very restrictive society, not a lot of place for criticism of the CCP, lots of human rights abuses, organ harvesting of the poor and a technocratic social credit control system implemented nationwide or at least in the major cities that our technocrats are trying to duplicate. So a lot of times when American independent journalists are trying to say what we should watch out for, they're usually saying we want to watch out for what's already in place in China—the facial recognition on the street, sending you a fine if you've jaywalked, there is complete control

28:05 How true is that of Chinese society and how much of it is hype and propaganda? Yeah. So I think that in terms of organization, Westerners are much more effective than Chinese. You know, It's very much about personality politics. It is about who you know, it is almost like a mafia state. You have these different mafia organizations at war with each other and that is what occupies most of the political energy in China so there really isn't that much organization or interest to create this authoritarian facade. It really much is a façade, so they have this sort of stuff but it doesn't work as effectively as you think it works out I've been trying for the past 30 years and I'll be very honest with you I've been able to think and write and teach as I deem fit

28:57 And a lot of it is because I choose not to get rich in China. So, in China if you want to get rich, you have to submit your will to the party. You have to find a powerful political patron and that person will sponsor you but then of course you become obedient to that person and that's how this system works. If you're going to become rich play ball. But if you don't become rich, like me, if you're like I don't really care, um, I just want to have intellectual freedom then China can be one of the freest places on earth and that sounds very strange and paradoxical but it is true! And you can tell from my essays on Substack, you can tell from my lectures in a classroom as long as they choose not to get rich

29:44 As long as I choose not to monetize my fame, people will leave me alone in China. But if I became a millionaire then people are going to come knock on my door and say hey where's my cut? And that is the situation in China Very interesting. Yes, some things you say there sound a lot like America it is a mafioso system to a degree and to get rich here capitalism allows you to make some choices and do your own thing But also if you want to get really rich, I mean you have to play the game and be a part of the system the way they want you too. So yeah it isn't really that different so for people who don't really know your background You were born in China in 1976 Your family immigrated to Canada in 1983 when you were just seven years old Your family was poor but you were hungry and desperate enough that Yale did accept you

30:40 You graduated, you went back to China and have taught at all age levels and have been pretty active trying to push for education reforms in China. I'm curious what reforms you think are needed? How would you explain the differences in the Chinese education system compared to the West because I assume both have their own distinct processes of breaking people down. Yeah. Um, you know, I'll be honest with you. I think that differences are not as stark as I once believed them to be. Given what's happened in the Western world, given what's happened in China, I think that these two cultures are sort of converging. So for the longest time in China my biggest concern was

31:26 The concept of individuality, I wanted my students to learn in a way that would inspire them. To reach and fulfill their true potential as individuals and not require a concept of your own individual agency basically to believe that you have your own soul. and the soul is eternal, and it will bring you delight and happiness to make the soul shine in the world. So that was the concept I was trying to promote in China. And I was trying to do this through many mechanisms. So I started China's first public school international program that was modeled

32:07 of a American liberal arts college. You know, we had a 5,000 book English library We had seminar classes We had a daily newspaper and then the idea was to provide a space for students To develop a passion for learning And in a sense of their own individual agency that would carry them For the rest of their lives And that didn't really work out because as you can imagine, parents didn't like that concept. Parents wanted to micromanage their children and so I really didn't succeed in that field and for the past four years i've been working just as a high school teacher just teaching the grade books and that's been very successful

32:49 So if you work with students at an individual level and you introduce Plato, Homer, Dante, Shakespeare to them at a individual level then it's almost as though they find the spark in them. It's almost as though the entire purpose of The Great Books, Homer and Dante specifically is to remind people that there's a divine spark in them this divine spark will always connect to the higher good I love that you kind of Trojan horse it in, you kinda found a way to package it in an acceptable manner. And that's a beautiful thing. I think that the self-actualization that is kind of popular in the West is probably one of the best features of it and our perception of China is that it's very centralized and very much like find your place as a cog in this machine

33:43 thought of as like an anthill, you know? Everyone has no individualization. They are just working for the system and from our perspective that's like terrifying. That's really a terrible way to live because you have no individualized meaning. Of course our system is trying to stomp it out and makes it like a really strong current of a river that you have to swim upstream to find that self-actualization and any kind of economic equivalent to it. But yeah, I think that's super interesting! So i like that in several lectures you make it clear that you're not teaching morals or ethics... You're not teaching what should be done. Your teaching about the world as it is and your teaching about power and how it really thinks and what it really does

34:32 You also said power is really about narrative and that the crafters of the West really did alchemy, turning nothing into everything. I love that very provocative terminology! I don't know how far to take it really but elaborate on some of these things for us. narrative and alchemy. Right, yeah so if you look at the source of American power today it's really the idea of the US dollar as the global reserve currency and if use ask yourself what is the U.S. dollar based on? It just based on faith in America! It just based on trust that the American government will not fall and collapse and not go into debt and default okay that's all it is now let

35:15 In 1945, you had the Bretton Woods conference and at that point the US dollar was in fact pegged to gold. And so before 1971, before Nixon declared that the US dollar would no longer be pegged to gold you could at any point convert your U.S dollars into real gold and that's what the French did right before 1971 but after 1971 they got rid of that system So now it's alchemy It is pure faith in the American government It's a bit complicated because Nixon did two things that was very important to maintain the value and the authority and credibility of the US dollar. So, the first thing it did was to work with Saudi Arabia to create their petro-dollar so Saudi Arabia would only take U.S dollars in payment for its oil. And at that time Saudi Arabia was the world largest oil producer. The petrol dollar was born at that time. The other thing he did which is even more important but people don't really understand is he opened China up

36:13 up to the global system. In 1972, he visits China in the 80s China slowly becomes embedded into the global financial system right and at this time and people don't really appreciate it appreciate this America is giving China free technology free expertise and free market access. So basically, America purposefully intentionally built up the Chinese export economy to make China dependent on US dollars. China exported its cheap labor in the same way that Saudi Arabia exported its cheap oil to America, and these two things is what underpins the value of the US dollar today. Unfortunately

37:08 What's happened is that America has abused its exaltation privilege and now it is $37 trillion in debt. America will never pay off this debt, so I'm going to be forced to default on this debt which is very likely or get China Japan to continue buy up US treasuries and obviously if you're China you're reluctant to do so because uh it's a giant punching scheme and eventually you'll be caught holding the bag That's an example of how perception drives reality. The world we live in, it is pure alchemy. People believe that money has value. Another thing that people don't appreciate is how money is created. Richard Werner talks a lot about this in his book, The Prince of Yen. How does the modern banking system work?

38:02 Most people believe that if I go and take out a loan, $5 million what comes from depositors money right? Because some people put in five million dollars of depositor's money. And then you take it out and you go invest it open a restaurant or whatever but what we don't really appreciate is the idea of double entry bookkeeping which goes way back And the idea of double entry bookkeeping is that a bank, when it loans you $5 million dollars it creates five million dollars out of thin air. It's not taking the parcel money and giving to you its creating out of thin air When it loans you that money, it's actually increasing its assets So if we just look at Chinese banks, Chinese banks have become some of the most largest banks in the world Why? Because they kept on letting money and money out

38:47 of the system and in the double entry booking system, debt is considered assets. And so that's something that most people don't appreciate and I think you just explained this to someone on the street, that person couldn't possibly conceive what you're talking about. That just shows how powerful These narratives have become embedded into the social fabric of today. Yeah, those are really great points! I remember when i was first kind of red-pilled on the fractional reserve banking system and it did take a while...I was like there's just no way that's how it works. There's no way it's that simple and there's no way it's that fragile and yet it seems to be the reality so I heard you talk in one of your recent videos about how when

39:33 Look at the feedback you get, obviously a lot of it's positive. But they say some of your weak areas are economics and philosophy. So I hesitate to even bring this up but in terms of the debt that the U S has, I only am bringing it out really because even Putin's finance minister brought it up but there is something called the stable coin gamut that it seems like America is going to try and Obviously I don't want our system to collapse, so I hope it's a little successful. But instead of all the oil stuff, it seems as if the plan is to move to stable coins and to open up banking too like much smaller tech companies that tech companies can now be the new banks and as long as they hold US dollars again you got to create the artificial demand to supplement the huge supply of the printing of the money. So instead of Saudi Arabia taking

40:25 dollars for oil, it's going to be stable coins now. And the goal is to open up banking to the second and third world to individual people because they're going to have an interest yield on the stable coins so you'll be able to as an individual there are a lot of places in the world where if you can get 5% on your money and you can just have even a couple thousand dollars like Some people live on a few dollars a day. So this kind of seems like a win-win in a lot of ways, it of course usurps governments around the world if they get other government citizens to start participating in such a thing but it seems like this is the plan

41:06 that if they can get all these fintech banks to pop up and then say, you're allowed to issue stable coin but you must keep reserves in US dollars. There's some calculations that say in a few years we might be able to get close to $30 trillion parked around the world in tech companies that way I'm curious your thoughts on that plan another reason I think it's a good plan obviously The people who made the problem are not the people whose lap it is in right now. So you have to have a little bit of empathy for this Hail Mary, but I just think there's a couple of positive aspects to it and one of them is that it might avoid the war that we seem to be going towards based on the need for it. It might be like this third rail issue. What do you think about the stable coin gamut that America might be trying to toss out there?

42:00 Right, so as you mentioned economics is definitely not my strong suit. So I'll probably be screamed at by economists okay? But I have two feelings okay? So the first is that let's use a thought experiment Let's just say 10 years ago we're in Canada or France or Germany and We see certain crises on horizon Okay, so first it's an aging crisis our population getting older and older. We have too much debt The young people are not as energetic as they used to be. So we get together, different central bankers in the Western world and we discuss how do you resolve this issue? And we come up with this great plan okay? We call this plan Open Borders because what we're gonna do is this, we're going to import all these immigrants from India, from China, from the Philippines, from South America who cares but they're young good 20's

42:57 Great plan, because these guys are energetic. And they're going to open restaurants and they're going to be construction workers and they'll be honest. They're not taking advantage of our welfare system and that's not gonna cause any crime." As a result it is net positive for our society and it resolves all the issues that we've accumulated. So guess what? They actually did this in Britain, France, Canada, Australia...and it was a complete Thumbster fire. Yes, right? So I don't know if the stable coin worked out or not. But I imagine it comes from a bureaucrat who has very little imagination and who is trying to solve a big problem with very easy solution, I imagine that it will probably be a dumpster fire and you're not giving enough agency to individuals right? Like if you are the game maker and you create this crappy game which everyone loses guess what guys? Everyone's going to cheat in this game right so these immigrants who go to Canada

43:59 and expected to work like for minimum wage, for 50 years so this old pensioner can collect his pension. Well it's a crappy game for him! So why would he be an honest broker in this game? Why would he be honest? And why would it be hard working when the game is going to be rigged against him?! He's gonna cheat!! He's going to be like you know what I'm gonna give them a system that allows me to win right?? The stablecoin system looks great but if you just look at from the different perspective, it screws over the people who buy into a stable coin. So do you think that when they buy in and knowing that there will be cheated? They're going to play honestly? I don't know if they will. I think...I don't think you give these people enough credit. I think they're extremely imaginative. I think they are very spontaneous and they work together very well. And I imagine that if they do this, I'm not sure if they will do this but

44:49 But look, these are bureaucrats who have no imagination. It's going to bump in their face. This is a pattern that repeats itself throughout history. Okay? So that's point one. Point two is We have to remember why America is able to get away with being the world's reserve currency in the world. And the answer is, it's the sole hegemon in the world. If you don't play ball American can come and bomb the crap out of you like they did in Libya and Syria which do not have central banks by the way okay? So America can do that! It sets these examples and everyone just plays along but if there's another hegemon

45:24 that's emerging like Russia or China, you want to hedge your bets now. You're like you know what I want invest in America but also want to invest in Russia and then China. I wanna have a portfolio and I don't think these American policymakers are aware that we're moving towards a multipolar world and a lot of their assumptions other calculations are based on a unipolar world And that's why I don't think there is viable solution to the crises that America is facing right now No, those are fair critiques. And anyone who's been involved in crypto thus far knows that several exchanges have already folded because they were being dishonest about their reserves and basically there was a digital bank run you know it's really not any different as uh well we put a lot of stuff out there on paper and people came to collect and we don't have it so we're just gonna shut the doors and sorry guys uh so

46:17 You know, I mentioned you went to Yale and I think that's really interesting for a lot of people probably around here are a little skeptical of that. They probably see that as a red flag, as you know because of the way the system, the Ivy League system is set up and that's a really interesting part of your work. So talk to people about your insights into particularly Harvard and the Ivy League of American schools, because some of these thoughts are that it just seems like Harvard's been very crucial in particular and has been kind of curating and essentially engineering the true influencers of the American controller class basically churning out

46:56 psychopaths, you could say. Yeah I mean look if Donald Trump got into a fight with Harvard and Yale in the Ivy League and if Donald Trump were to bankrupt these institutions and these institutions were to disappear from the face of the earth...I guarantee you that America will enter the golden age. It will make America great again, because I think these Ivy League institutions have been parasites on the American Republic. They pay no taxes on their endowment. They were land-grant universities. They get billions of dollars in federal contracts so they're parasitic and then you ask yourself why don't they contribute it to America? Well let's go over the list okay

47:40 The first one they created is this Hunger Games education system that's in America today. I mean, it's traumatizing young children. When I went to Yale there was the Hunger Games like you know...I thought that when I got into Yale its like paradise! I go there its country club and then I graduate and I become a lawyer and my life is good but it's really the Hunger Games You go there and from day one they expect you to compete against your classmates because you know Yale graduates 1500 students a year 10 to succeed because if these ten succeed, they succeed spectacularly. And so it's almost like a venture capital firm in that you invest 1,000 companies knowing that 900 of them will fail but hey! You need one or two unicorns and you're good and you don't really care what happens with the people in these 900 companies that fail So we're almost like disposable tools that Yale is using in order to burnish its

48:35 reputation. So the first thing that I would say about the Ivy League is it's really the Hollywood games that are traumatizing young people in America today. Second thing is that it has led to tremendous inequality in America. If you look at all of the wealthy people, well they kind of graduated from these Ivy League institutions which are private and then they give their money to these Ivy League institutions. And these Ivy League institutions are not interested in helping America, they're only interested in improving their endowment and so they let in all of these princelings from China, they let in all these children of tyrants from Africa I mean like these Ivy League schools... They're multinationals! They behave like multinationals That's not interested in giving back to America and helping America develop It's only interested in helping themselves

49:20 Another thing that I will say, I believe is that it's led to tremendous mediocrity among the American elite. You look at people like Barack Obama and JD Vance, and George W. Bush they were all credentialed members of the Ivy League They all went to these schools And then they came out And then they were sort of ushered into positions of power They have no imagination They have no critical thinking skills They have no empathy They have no capacity to reflect Listen I know this is going to sound like an extreme statement But I think that the Ivy League is the ultimate MK Ultra experiment

49:58 That's what I think. If you went to the Ivy League and you did wellness system, now you are an MKUltra mentoring candidate because all you care about is that you are so desperate for approval. You're so desperate for success and achievement because you're a hollow shell that if you do anything in order to succeed. I mean, i've said this my lectures but but i think people who graduate from the Ivy League and who ascend to the top they're soulless they have no ideas of their own they're only interested in success for the sake of success you know? I think you go back to America in um...the early decades George Washington never went to college Abraham Lincoln went to

50:42 night school. And they were great and that's what I think, you know, what was great about America because it was a society focused on individual achievement or society focused on talent and nowadays the Ivy League represents a rigged game in which the winners will always win and everyone else is a loser. With the Ivy League, with the advent of the Ivy League now that the Ivy League has monopolized education You have the complete collapse of American dream. You get the complete collapse all social mobility So I don't mean, I honestly don't have anything nice to say about these institutions Yeah, yeah, I find that to be really interesting It's just not an aspect of American culture That really is targeted and highlighted as often as it probably should be And you cover a lot of that history in a video titled death by meritocracy

51:31 And I was going to bring up the points you're making right now that it really isn't a critique on a true meritocracy. You're criticizing a corrupt, rigged closed loop of controller class wealthy families that lord over the rest of us. That is not a merit based system. That is a private club and and a privileged based system. And it's a lot like how, when people talk about the free market here, let the free market do its thing. It's like, well come on the free market is pretty rigged so if you really want to free market I will take that bet but that means a lot of the legacy privilege and legacy systems in massive multinational corporations would go away or at least

52:11 wouldn't have the same favor that they have. So I see like a parallel there, but when people are talking about Trump trying to institute a meritocracy it's like well of course nothing in its pure form is implemented it's always got all these caveats to it but if not a meritocracy then what? I mean I think I support the notion of a meritocracy but what you're criticizing in this video with that title doesn't really qualify. That's right, yeah so I think that in the past few years America has become a credentialized society and before it wasn't before you know you go back 100 years people didn't want to go university because they didn't want to be like an egghead there was a deep-rooted skepticism of intellectuals in America and that system worked really well!

53:04 jobs require a college degree. Certain jobs require college degrees, right? If you are a professor of course you need a college degree You have a PhD but most jobs don't require a college degree What I do doesn't require a college degree if i want to become teacher I should not go to college I just have to go to a teachers' college which is what happened 50-100 years ago So in this past fifty years There's been this massive expansion of the tertiary education system, of higher education and universities. And a lot these universities have absolutely no business being universities they should be trade schools or they should be professional schools but they shouldn't be universities

53:45 And what's happened is that a lot of these universities have become glorified party schools. Kids go there to drink beer and watch football games for four years, and you can tell because when you go to these universities what they really brag about is not the quality professors but they really brag about it's the quality their dorm rooms right? And sports teams! I mean like yeah so I think higher education system everywhere, not just in America but also in China. It's bloated and unnecessary and I think that if we would go back to a system more focused on vocational training trade schools community colleges that would be better for everyone in the long term. Yes great points Ann

54:30 Another thing that's changed in America is you used to get a job and then your first month or two is training. Now, you get a job and they're like, You're supposed to already know how to do the job we're not training you, you're working from day one! And that system creates a lot of inefficiencies too. Sorry, go ahead. I want to make this point okay? So i'm in China and the medical system is staffed by the worst students in China because no one wants to be a doctor in China everyone's be a financier or a scientist or politician but no one wants to be a doctor so the worst kids are you know siphoned into the um medical system

55:13 and they have 2-4 years of mentorship, then 5 to 10 years of internship. Why? Because being a good doctor, it's not about how smart you are. It's about how much experience you have, how much mentorship you have, what guidance you have and so China has a pretty good medical system even though the students who became doctors were not the best students in school and if we compare that with American system, which is bloated expensive and deeply parasitical unfair unjust and its staffed by

55:49 the smartest students in America. So, you know, the large point I'm trying to make is that most jobs... I would say every job does not require you to go through a meritocracy. It requires you to be mentored and apprenticed in a proper way. If we just do that then everyone would have access to the American dream. Yeah great points! That's another thing that we don't have as much as we used to as the mentor-mentee relationship And just bringing up the Chinese medical system is interesting because of course, China manufacturing hub of the world that includes pharmaceuticals. That includes fentanyl and this kind of stuff. Yet in America I think a lot of people who are disenfranchised with the big pharma system are looking to like ancient Chinese medicine for more wisdom about the body and better processes and more holistic approaches

56:46 And there's like a old mystical Chinese philosophy about the body and healing that a lot of alternative thinking Americans are gravitating towards. And I just think it's funny that that's the source for the problem and solution in a sense because of the manufacturing, but going back to the Ivy league people may not realize As you've pointed out, Harvard's endowment is $40 billion. They're sitting on $40 billion it's invested. It's probably making more money even still but they don't share that with America. They don't contribute anything or donate that to any systems that help regular people and calling the Ivy League and Harvard like a venture capital firm is so good. It's almost like The Show Shark Tank where people come up with their pitches of what they might want to be

57:35 And Harvard decides, oh yeah. We'll take a shot on this guy and like you say it's just, you only need a couple of people to succeed but when they rise the ranks in fame and fortune in America, it creates a perception to regular people that I can never get there without going to these schools. That's right! Yeah It becomes like a marketing thing of successful people go to these five schools and that's it So, man I know we are coming to the end of this thing. I really just got maybe two big questions for you so when it comes to troubled times a lot of people say that is when the mystics, the gurus

58:14 the more esoterically inclined people need to step up. The forecasters, you could say they have to step up there's a certain courage in forecasting in chaotic scary times of course power doesn't like it if we are using like a Harry Sheldon analogy from foundation that is it he comes up and says hey empire is gonna collapse and empire says fuck you're gonna collapse I'm taking you out to the edge of the galaxy and you're going to die out. And then the whole series is about how, no that little seed blossoms into something big and the prediction comes to pass even when it's been spoken out to the world that even can't stop it so that's right I am curious about the predictions you have given some of them are some of them are I'd say a little mild even though obviously it's been

59:05 a huge boon to the attention given to you, but do you have predictions that have come to you where you say I can't bring that up? I can't go public with that. That's too extreme or that's going to drive people crazy. Is there anything that you just haven't felt bold enough to come out with that you've gotten from the same mechanism? Yeah, I believe that 99% of humanity will be wiped out in the next 100 years Yeah. Sorry, okay? Okay yeah. Through what mechanism well I mean you have a perfect storm of crises including a geophysical event which might be mini ice age but it could also be like a polar shift right so sorry so you see the news about this polar shifting right well that has tremendous impact on the geophysical structure all over planet and so you're gonna have massive devastation floods earthquakes tsunamis

59:57 You also have a mini ice age that I think is going to appear. You're gonna see a lot of extreme weather events in the winter, I think this winter is supposed to be extremely cold and destructive for the United States and North America. You'll have epidemics raging you'll have wars raging you will have revolutions So, you know for the next 20 years it's like we're in a Kali Yuga and there is no escape from it. It just can be worse and worse and worse I mean like...it doesn't benefit me or anyone for me to say this right? It gets like okay guys for the next 50 years its just complete hopelessness until about 99% of humanity gets wiped out And then maybe after that We can start rebuilding so I've never really said this before Well I'm glad I asked But this also a thing A lot people who have the conscious connection

1:00:46 or they get prophetic dreams. A lot of it is tragedy, and so you'll have people in like the 80s and 90s who have had these recurring dreams of nuclear exchanges and bombs going off and chaos and cataclysm...and yet here we are You know, here we are 40 years later half a human lifespan. What good is it to someone in the 80s to have these prophetic dreams of apocalyptic tragedy and then have it not manifest? So I'm not saying you're wrong because I definitely believe in cyclical cataclysms and there's a lot of research being done on resets and who built these buildings really like did they just move in

1:01:24 And you know, the hope he talked about being taken underground by beings to survive such a cataclysm. So like it's in there I agree but sometimes the timeline the timing of it is so off that it becomes useless information in a human lifespan Because if you're talking potentially about something 500 years in the future, it means nothing to us today. Like of course it's eventually going to all collapse! There is something interesting about the people who have the consciousness connection oftentimes are being shown tragedy regardless of if tragedy is near or not. It's just an interesting pattern I recognize what do you think?

1:02:04 Yeah, so I think you're absolutely right in that every age will have its prophets. Will have its mystics who see the future and this but they don't really know the timeline because remember in the higher consciousness there's no time and space right? So something could happen a year later 100 years later they'll know they just know it's gonna happen. They had no sense of the timeline and all they're doing is telling people what they've seen In my situation What I've done is, I've given a series of short-term predictions including the destruction of Al Aqsa Mosque. Including the US invasion of Iran. Including NATO fighting Russia in Odessa and these short term predictions are really good way for me to see if i actually have prophetic powers

1:02:47 if my prediction models actually do work. And if they work out, then you should maybe listen to me some more but it don't work out then I'm a false prophet and I can just go home and you guys can go listen to like Kurt Metzger or whatever. Alex Jones. Alex Jones right? So yeah so what's good about the internet is that it's marketplace of ideas And what's drawn people to me is the fact that I was able to predict certain events. And if these predictions work out well, then I think that people should try to understand my worldview. The other thing is that

1:03:28 I've always been a really shy person. I really don't like the limelight, like some people thrive in the limelight right? Like politicians like Bill Clinton...I've actually seen Bill Clinton in person! I've actually attended a speech of his and he'll give like a 20 minute speech and he'll be there for another three hours shaking hands with people He's a very social person. He just loves that whereas I hate that. I hate being in public. I hate you know talking to people it annoys me It frustrates me. I'm more like you Right, right. So I've chosen to speak out because something inside me said now it's time to speak up You can't hide anymore you have to reveal yourself and you have to like tell people what you know

1:04:07 And I understand there are lots of risks inherent in this. I mean, I could be shut down in terms of social media because the things I've said. I could be hunted down by nefarious forces for offering a counter narrative. I have three young kids so I'm very protective on my three kids but you know something is telling me that you have to speak up now because the time has come and I don't know if i'm being delusional but some force is telling me you have to speak up now and you have to reveal yourself. You have be honest with people, don't hide anymore. Be honest with people and people will understand. And you know they won't understand because of what's What will come?

1:05:01 Fate brought us together. So this is the thing I think we should end on, so the predictions are a bit dire sir but you do have this post about what can be done and you write as the world splinters We must hold ourselves together by embracing the ultimate truth love is the unifying force of the universe and our imagination is the animating force. I predict that the world will go to hell And many of you ask What can be done first appreciate that As we are in the universe, so is the universe in us. The ancients like to say as above so below through the intentions of our actions We can alter the destiny of the universe Second appreciate that each and every one of us is here for a purpose And we know it because we find delight and moving towards it distress when we move away from it

1:05:49 The Greeks have a word for when we achieve our talios, purpose. Eddaimonda flourishing. We flourish when we love learn and create third start here now commit to your own flourishing at this moment and this moment becomes eternally yours well I'll drink to that But talk to us a little bit as we're wrapping up here about how we can actually implement those insights into meaningful action. Well, so the power of that B their main mechanism or control is your fear and your ego right? The entire culture especially in our culture is structured around in augmenting your fear and ego And you have to learn to overcome your fear and your ego if you are to thrive

1:06:33 as a human and we're all meant to thrive. That's why God created us, to flourish But to do that, you have to believe in your potential to love. And often the hardest thing is not to love someone but forgive yourself. Some of us have done so much transgressions, committed so much evil that we embrace thematic forces. We've been traumatized as children and so we feel as though the only salvation are these thematic forces. What we need to believe is this spark in us will never go away because this spark

1:07:08 It's the vine. And this spark connects us to the vine, but it also means the vine in us. So if we continue to do evil and continue to stress that a vine becomes more corrupt and that's actually the goal of The Powers That Be to corrupt us so as to corrupt the divine. And so it's within your power to save God and you save yourself but you just have to like learn to forgive yourself and believe that you can be your own salvation, redemption. And that's the hardest thing to do actually. Loving someone is not hard but forgiving yourself is the hardest thing in the world and that's why Jesus was so important. Jesus wasn't just an important revelation because now you have this external force I could forgive us but Jesus wanted to take you part of the way

1:07:48 To go the full way, you have to embrace your own individuality. You have to believe in the divinity within you and that's a hard thing to do in the world but once you do that then you change the world for the better I love it awesome well professor this has been a real treat! You've tapped into something that is really resonating with people me included and I congratulate you on the success what's next? What should we tell people about following you going forward if they had a good time here Yeah, so I have two ways that I communicate with the world. My first is my YouTube channel, Creative History.

1:08:26 upload all my lectures to that channel. There are lots of like channels that like counterfeit me, that take my material and turn it into clips I'm not associated with them! I'm okay with sharing my message and i actually thank them for making my lectures much more digestible but please remember that only one official channel in this predictive history so you can watch all my lectures on YouTube also have a sub stack that you can subscribe too which I write essays diverse group of essays, but sometimes I write about geopolitics as well. And I'm focusing a lot on geopolitics because I'm afraid that we're headed towards war in the Middle East. I think it's very likely that America will attack Iran in the next few weeks possibly next week sooner so those are the best two ways to get in touch with me also have a Twitter account you can follow me on Twitter at Xueqin Jiang

1:09:18 Um, yeah. But my sub stack and my YouTube channel are the best ways to follow my work. Awesome. And if people have a hard time spelling the Twitter handle I'll put it in the show notes so you could just click and follow man amazing stuff just uh, I'm all charged up for the day but thank you so much and take care right? Great thanks so much Greg it was lovely talking let's try this again sometime yes indeed Well hallelujah! Take me home country roads. Now that was something I know Professor Jiang is getting a ton of attention and i'm really thankful that a pretty odd little synchronicity brought us together. I told you guys that I've kind of felt like I'm in flow for the first time in many years, I even cited that Kurt Metzger interview where he had me on his show

1:10:12 in the list of reasons to do the Charlie Kirk solo examination. I don't even want to say solo show, it was only 45 minutes but it was a deep dive into the available material at the time and it became the biggest flood of new subscriptions that I can remember at least since COVID probably further back than that And one of the recent THC clips that the clip makers used was from the plasma show, but it was a clip about manifestation and. I saw comments on there that manifestation is bullshit. The kids in Gaza can't seem to manifest their way out of the situation. Manifestation is a lame, new agey first world rich person's kind of mindset easy to manifest when you have everything. You know these sorts of comments that you hear on the subject

1:11:07 And I do get that mindset. I have definitely been in the mental state of, fuck all that everyone's out to get me. I can't seem to get ahead and if any magic really worked then it would work for me but yet how often do we actually hone in on an intention? And direct that intention and then actually follow through and act on messages in our intuition Oftentimes we ask for something and then it comes to us in the form of an intuition or a lead. We should follow, and we don't take the advice well what else can you do? But these things are probability enhancers is another factor so if you're living in a war zone that's probably going to be a war zone for a long time well In that case It's not about

1:12:00 one person's will and meditation practice resulting in the end of the war, although maybe that can happen. But it would be more like being in tune with the deeper parts yourself and then something in your awareness tells you to cross the street and then you listen to that voice. And then the building you just walked away from is hit by a rocket. To me, that's a better example of how it could work in that scenario but I'm only bringing this up because in mine, I did this research on Charlie Kirk and then I planned to talk about it as a guest with Kurt Metzger. And it didn't really go that way so then it's this unused material up in my head and then I asked the universe on my way to the studio for guidance just as an experiment. And I get there and the guests who'd already confirmed doesn't show up like it's very weird that they wouldn't show up because they already said see you tomorrow talk to you tomorrow like

1:12:56 I've since spoken with them and it's fine, but something in the universe moved that out of the way. And then an inner voice said, Hey sit down record this thing clear out all this information from your head and grab all the links and the screenshots you've had and put it out there a nine out of 10 times. I would say no, I'm just going to take the day off and we'll try again on the next one. I love to do that And the subs flooded in because I basically listened and took it a step further. And then that brings us up to date professor Jiang, a guest who I'm really interested in having on from Beijing who's going super viral which again, I usually wouldn't even ask. I'm like oh you either just did Rogan or you're getting too much attention? I'll wait till it dies down and then I'll ask cause that's just how I kind of operate

1:13:53 But this particular guy happens to be a fan of Kurt Metzger, of all people and is listening when I'm the guest. And then a super chat references him in the show and that nudges me to ask for an interview the next day, which he agrees with. Then here we are? I only say this as an example of how it works. I guess for a long time. I've been talking to guests for 15 years and they have all these wild stories about listening to their intuition, and I'm like oh i don't get messages well...I think I maybe learned a little bit better recently how to hear that message and uh I'm all jazzed up about it! I hope that happens for everyone but it's like Oh That was It? I guess I have noticed that in there

1:14:48 but I never bring it to the forefront and give it my attention. And now that I have like, wow action results how funny? It's like this time I just channeled Jim Carrey in Yes Man and had this string of fulfilling events happen and it's basically the grand finale to that loop to have this interview as far as I know the loop could continue But then if someone were to ask me how it works, I would just repeat what all the guests have said. Have clear intentions, ask for guidance and then act on the intuition listen really closely listen deeply it is subtle and I have missed it a lot but I didn't this time And The Charlie Kirk Thing has gotten even crazier that it almost deserves a part two

1:15:39 I don't want people to think, I can't be more creative than that and return to that well again. It looks very desperate but the more people dig into this and share the results and more I see on it, the weirder it does get The more I lean towards theater But something stops me from committing to that idea overall As I said, I don't think they have a problem killing a guy but when you see crisis actors across multiple events emerging in this event and you see how far back some of the relationships go, you do have to wonder maybe there is a mafia-like concept of a made man even among enemies. Look at the past and so often they don't really kill a leader who lost in war they send him to live in exile because you don't lose your life even when you're beat if you're part of that elite

1:16:36 There is some truth there, but sadly I don't think I'll ever fully understand it and I don't know if Charlie Kirk was a disposable pawn to them or an actor playing a crucial role. Seems like a big loose end to have him out in the world unless of course there's a place out in the world where there's a guarantee that they won't be found that all these sorts of people go too. A Valhalla...of a certain sense Anyway, back to this interview and not to launch right into a plus pitch. But if you heard the full two hour show then this is even more fascinating when professor Jiang talked about the mystical methods from which he gets his predictive protocols or at least some of them one of the streams of insight that helps him come up with these pretty accurate predictions so far

1:17:27 I did not expect his story to have that dimension to it because he does seem very logic based in his assessments and even he said that but i just was so happy to hear him share that stuff. And now we can confirm that he is, in fact a modern mystic and a proper forecaster...a proper vessel for prophecy I also didn't expect to hear him bringing up elite communication with dark beings or utter the term lizard people but that's the way it went. It was great that he was aware of our format and i think he strategically opened up to some of that stuff in the second hour so i don't want to put him on blast too much for some of those things he said his words should speak for themselves

1:18:14 but plus people know i'm not just blowing smoke or they would lose their trust in me and so I'm saying that genuinely there are checks and balances here true checks and balances. And, I was really impressed with his comments on China too...I definitely can be kind of weird sometimes. Cause I'm very skeptical of power and power networks and relationships, and following the money and all that stuff. But I can also be very naive and trusting when it comes to individuals. I know there's people in the audience who think yeah, when you trusted that guy or he didn't challenge that guy, I know exactly what you mean. It is a strange combination for a person but I do try to think things through. And before this one, I kinda thought well

1:19:00 Professor Jiang's material is super interesting, and we have a lot of it being him teaching the conspiratorial undercurrent in the West to Westerners through the vehicle of these recorded lectures. I mean he's literally talking to Chinese high school students but the popularity he's found online is mostly with Westerners learning about their own system That's great. It's also probably not material that the CCP would object to at all, so I planned to ask him more about China and i wasn't sure how it would go. I thought those answers might be a little more tame but they weren't! They were very insightful and it is a different culture yet so many strategies of their own elite work in the same way

1:19:52 There were some unique insights there for me, for sure. I hope he didn't put himself at risk to pass along those insights you just never know how to separate the propaganda from the reality knowing that totalitarianism is in season in vogue and You don't trust any elite necessarily but your own system is demonizing every other one out there and pretending that it's 10 times worse when maybe it's only twice as bad. We know the old phrase, find out who you're not allowed to criticize and you'll see who's really in charge I think depending on where you are there's different answers to that but

1:20:37 He did mention some topics that he hoped we would get into when we were off the air and that we didn't. And it seems like we're both pretty excited about getting together again, and I'm sure the people will respond well and will cover those topics then you got to get to know someone before you bring up some of this stuff. You know, you really gotta ease your way in. So now that we're well acquainted, I think we can just rip the bandaid off and go right for the wound Definitely shoot him a message or give him a comment or something to say you enjoyed this interview. We want to keep it top of mind I want people to know that he was heard, i want him to know, i want guests to know that they were heard and enjoyed here so That's important but these do seem like frightening times in a lot of ways My life is kind of going great right now same with most the people in my circles

1:21:31 I do know a few people crashing out. I know a few people with Trump derangement syndrome, letting him take up every square inch of their mental and emotional space but those are outliers when i look though at the next five to ten years out the geopolitical arc the economic arc that is what makes me nervous so i'm doing good now but my kids won't even be in high school When we get through some of this stuff, I'm really worried about what their coming-of-age years will look like. But I have to acquiesce and say hey this is their life to live they chose this time

1:22:09 As I chose this time, they chose to have me and their mom as their guides. And they will do what they're going to do all we can do is create sanctuary for them and do our best to keep the world out there at bay and guard the sanctity of our inner circle. We'll see how it goes I saw a great meme of a guy in a gas mask and a Mad Max like scenario. And he says, Hey buddy, I know it's really hard out there. I know it's really tough right now. Okay? But then the second panel he says that it's going to get a lot worse. And that's just so funny to me. That is the general sentiment right now. So you do have to preserve your energy and you don't want to waste it on the run up two big things. You know, this is a sacred time

1:23:01 If you think big things are coming, don't waste the good time beforehand just worrying about them. What will be will be." So the predictions in this one did get a bit dire towards the end as predictions often are we have so many people with apocalyptic dreams and visions of nuclear holocaust and all this sort of stuff and it's a damn near consistent thing that if you're looking for people who are getting those messages, they're usually doom and gloom. I think you could even say that Chris Bloodso, they're looking at a time when the lady said it's about Easter of this upcoming year. Sure. Usually it is about some profound tragedy but if this stuff comes from a realm without time then

1:23:54 Maybe there's not a lot of value in assuming it's going to happen now or in our lifetime. That seems to be the consistent thing. Prophet says, I get these messages they come with insights that make those messages more interesting or seem more accurate or potent are worth listening to. And then there's this big culminating event at the end of their predictive narrative, and then that thing doesn't happen and then everyone forgets about that person. I'm not saying professor Jiang falls exactly into that archetype but i will say that that archetype is out there and it's something to think about

1:24:41 you know, for him to try to avoid and for people to consider when assessing a situation. Or just information that comes from that way it's really not about the person they're a conduit but information that comes from that sort of source tends to have that stuff built into it I don't know all right well what are you going to do about a war? I don't know I don't know anyone who cares about fighting anyone. I think everybody wants to just live their own life, but yet it's interesting that we have no control the train seems to be running right off the tracks well outside of our ability to influence it much just on the momentum so again Just be the best port in the storm for other people and hone in on a handful of things that you can control

1:25:31 that dictate your highest order of happiness and fulfillment, less screen time more me time. So powerhouse guest fun synchronicity that put me in the current of the insanely powerful flow right now and help more people hear about it. That's really all I can ask in higher side news, I mentioned an email notification system for the TV tier people and that is probably about another week away some more testing to do before we really launch it but it is close other than that try not to spend unnecessary money and resist the temptation to constantly meddle in the system instead of just being happy and satisfied with what we have

1:26:21 So I really don't hear very many complaints. The engine is running well and i should just let that be okay in the last episode with Richard Willett, another one that I knew would keep the great reviews coming strong and the rating trend high as it has been And I was right 4.8 pretty much the A plus around here There's always someone who wishes we were talking about pyramids or aliens or some unrelated topic to whatever it was, but still if you can please 90-95% of the people who rate a show with this diverse of topics spread. It is a win! I would also be surprised if weren't right up there with 4.8 again today but the people will let me know I'm sure. Alright

1:27:14 kind of going to keep this moving because i have a big interview tomorrow and I want to make sure I'm fully ready to crush it and the day is already getting away from me but as for the meetup calendar let's take a look at what we got okay, we're looking at October 8th in Dayton Ohio Riverscape Metro Park The Coal Bidder Collective and then October 9th the very next day New Haven Connecticut at Three Sheets And then October 17th, Elkin North Carolina at the rail yard and October 27th. We got one at Volks bar in Berlin Germany. Okay. Getting together in Berlin I do hear about some rough stuff going on in the news there it seems very easy to get a knock on the door over your social media posts these days in Germany

1:28:08 Probably a good time to find the others I would say and then November 5th. There is one happening in Oakland Although it looks like they didn't fill out all the details But remember remember the fifth of November and remember to go in and fill that stuff out So people know exactly where the meetup will happen November 8th Woodstock, Virginia at the Woodstock brew house and November 10th Gail Braths alehouse again in Eden Terrence Auckland New Zealand Really great. Hireside meetups.com anyone can make an event and get a local gathering together, you know over 100,000 people listening what 10 people who want to actually use the calendar? It's fine but if you heard about an event near you and you want to go please RSVP so the host knows what to expect I've gotten lots of great reports over the years since we've been doing this

1:29:03 That usually you can depend on a handful to a dozen people showing up in most major cities, and then you keep everyone's info. And then they become either your new regular hangs or at least a strong network of good people to know in troubled times. So check it out. All right? Just so happy to get this episode out there. I felt a real. Kindred spirit ship with Professor Yang and I just, I love the guy. He's awesome. Alex look forward to doing it again if we get the chance but that is it for me

1:29:40 I'm sure very few people need me to remind them to check out predictive history. I'm sure you already have in one form or another, but we got YouTube sub stack and you can find them also on Twitter and it seems like he's gone about as viral as anyone can so this is one where I'm on the lucky end of being able to put this out but it is what it is. I'm riding the wave sign up for plus if you like what I do add free and action packed five full two hour interviews every month and an archive that goes back 15 years for as low as eight bucks. Sign up with the links in the show notes, and cancel anytime though I do hope to keep it at a high level so you don't anyway i'm out of here i've done my part your move global chess game players geopolitical conflict engineers and agents of the archons your fucking move Do You Feel Betrayed By The Ones You're Told To Trust?

1:30:41 Well you know you don't get much help from the ones that beat you up, babe We're just left to lick the... They say that it will be okay I'll continue seem decay The ones who come out Red in circuses really is an awful trade But what are you gonna? We see the crashes Pathetic to the next collision Haven't even had time to heal So the cycle continues Make a space

1:31:38 after much love lost in this place. They don't change the top, so we gotta change ours make all the pop and tell the stoop just wanna be comfortable I guess easier to believe a lie cuz it's all a hooker can try to get We always have the number we never have the drive sometimes have the mindset right ready to face Shonda hard to truly go So again

1:32:50 Continue to learn from our mistakes
