Peter Zeihan: What Will The World Look Like in Five Years?

​🔥 THE NEW REAL VISION - join the waitlist www.realvision.com/pricing
Regionalization” is the transition from a world of stable prices and consistent growth to one of rising costs of living where the threat of global famine is real.
The breakdown of an economic order framed by just-in-time supply chains requires a rethink of trade networks and relationships. Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan addresses these issues and more in his new book “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.”
Zeihan joins Real Vision’s Maggie Lake to talk about the implications of this transition, including the end of China’s time as a great power and the perpetuation of the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency.
Recorded on May 31, 2022.

Well done Real Vision Finance for bringing Peter Zeihan to the platform and date stamping the conversation in the Title summary and Airing date. simply professional ...

[@spencerp6190]

The thumbnail for this video looks like a time capsule from the 90's, and I'm here for it.

[@jackkennedy9475]

If Peter Zeihan is correct, shorter supply chains, localized produce and production then this had other potential ramifications. Some of his statements: inflation, baby boomers retiring, reduction of younger workers to fill jobs across many developed countries to include China and India, and potential lose of globalization. With reduction of workers will reduce pollution, assumption retirees pollute less, shorter supply chains reduction in energy consumption and waste, localized companies will have to find better methods for managing waste/pollution, who wants to live in a garbage dump, famine could equate to a moderate drop in population, war the same. These issues seem to point to less pollution and significantly more smaller localized produce.

[@jacklatta1890]

This interviewer is outstanding…I’ve listened to many people ask questions to Peter on many different lectures, podcasts, etc…and this lady is asking questions and exploring directions that I’ve wanted to ask…it’s well done.

[@gabelazar6376]

I’ll give it to Peter Zeihan- he’s been preaching this same narrative for about a decade now. He’s certainly intelligent, and I agree with majority of his perspectives, but I think some of his messages are spoken in terms that are too absolute and don’t allow for alternative potential scenarios. We’ll just have to see how the future unfolds!

[@napper2212]

I'm very confident that none of Zeihan's predictions will come true. It's just a bunch of hyperbolic projections based on flawed premises, faulty logic, totally unreliable statistics. & Wishful thinking. China will "collapse" in the next 10-15 years? That's utter nonsense. I'm willing to bet real money against him on this.

[@jamesdonop445]

Look at global news keyword famine. Looks like he is right so far

[@fffwe3876]

demographic analysis is what he knows. you know what they say about a man with a hammer. one of the biggest source of basic human misjudgement.

Events might not be so straightforward as he is describing. But we can anticipate the general trend he's describing, just based on the limitations of resources and demographics. These things have inevitable consequences.

I'm fascinated by this guy. His thinking can be careless, and his logic sketchy and flawed, but he gets it right often enough. He is great at communicating and condensing complex issues. His energy is positive. He's not trying to bum listeners out, unlike a lot of journalists, experts, pundits, and others these days. He is not as boring as most others are.

[@someonewhoknows1891]

Absolutely. You have young excited reporters who go into the field because they want to uncover truth and report on hard hitting news. When they see how lucrative it is to go with the status quo, or the alternative is they are shuffled off to a middle of the cornfield news station,(if they don’t go along with them). They become the very people that they set out to investigate.

[@SignalCorps1]

It also takes brains to internalize all this information and draw logical conclusions, something 99% of today’s media personnel lack.

[@Fireball4511]

Gain and fuel prices are fine, low even. The Russians didn't lose their pipelines. Peter makes these big predictions based on nothing being done to avoid the impending doom. Then people take action and the problem is avoided and the predictions fail to come true.

Peter is blaming inflation on china?! the u.s printed 3 trillion dollars during 2020 to help stay at home unemployed Americans during lockdown. It sanctioned and put tariff on chinese goods, effectively raising prices on common household items. And Peter blames CHINA?!

[@tazmokhan7614]

@@ruoyuli4091 he talking about inflation on a global scale and how the decisions the CCP has made on the Globl Markets has effected not only the wolrd markets but also the US Markets and yes pumping 3 trillion into the economy has contributed to our inflation but that has only been made worse but a government that has made bad decisions for a country and its economy that 4X bigger than ours. So yes 3 trillion is one thing but China mistakes are magnified when its 4X times bigger than it main rival.

Yup, globalization has been great for everyone except the American worker, who has seen millions of their jobs shipped overseas so the 1% could get richer.

[@robbiep742]

I'd argue it's been great for the top 33%, with an exponential increase as an individual's/family's wealth increases on the curve. If you make over 100k, even in wealthier areas in the US, you've been able to purchase all the high quality goods you need, enjoy expensive services, and benefited from the financial market boom over the last 30 years. I'm now in a high earning percentile, too bad I finally have money to invest and am entering what could be a long dark winter. I sure hope Zeihan is wrong on the severity of things...

Globalization has been great for everyone, including the American worker, but simply less so than for the upper classes. Even the poorest Americans have an income exponentially larger than the global worker class. Think about it: would you have more purchasing power waiting tables in America or assembling iPhones in China? I hope the answer is obvious.

Thanks for asking the question about technology. I've listened to many of Peter's interviews, and I'm reading his latest book, and that's the question I've been waiting for him to answer. To his answer: nothing I see says that technological advancement is going to slow down. This is something that I entertain myself with so I keep up with advancements in a number of fields. Not to an expert level, for sure, but I watch it pretty closely. To that point, the thing that, as Peter would say, *EVERY-ONE* is missing is that advancements in 3D printing is growing quickly, maybe exponentially, and it is inevitable that we will have 3D printers that print 3D printers. Let that sink in for a second. Everything you think you know about manufacturing goes out the window. Plus, machine learning (Not AI) is making tremendous advancements. The next materials breakthrough in solar panel efficiency, batteries, etc., are likely to be assisted by, or discovered entirely by, machine learning.

I admire your ability to listen and make good choices in the interview. Really well done!

Great interview. You pulled a ton out of Peter. On that end, how does Peter know so much? Feel like others are so much more narrowly informed. How does one get that much "true" (real) information at the levels of industries he talks about...

[@extrememiami]

I just found out about him 2 hours ago by watching a speech from him 7 years ago and 100% of all his predictions came true these past few years it's insane huh. Glad I found him. Going to binge watch him today. Any best videos you love please let me know. Cheers

[@kknudsen4907]

He reads, analyzes and postulates. While a lot of what he says does make intelligent sense there is not a way to ever fully predict the future. Factors could change that affect some of his analysis but he’s definitely a great speaker and postulator. I think there have always been the world is nigh type people. The one thing he doesn’t rely on is the capabilities for human response and innovation. If countries he mentions struggle and start falling as he suggests one would hope people would find ways to adapt and overcome so the doom and gloom this man predicts may not quite unfold as he predicts. Remember he is predicting based on numbers and analysis. That is never a perfect science. I find him very thought provoking but the hopelessness he indicates for humanity seems destructive and I have more faith in humanity than that.

Zeihan has also mentioned having a team that helps him collect information. He's not just a one-man-band. I'm not sure who's paying him for all of this, or whether his book sales are enough to fund the whole enterprise.

[@brentfletchermd]

He has said that he gets a lot of information in the process of preparing presentations for his clients, who explain their perspectives to get the most out of his.

39:00 - 40:46 - reassuring for India, that's if we continue to build our industrial capacity & shorten supply chains especially avoiding China & East Asia - we will have to source our energy needs from the Persian Gulf rather than Russia though. 56:55 - 57:40 - Very interesting on Argentina, positively so! 1:01:54 - 1:02:44 - Labour seemingly will have more leverage over capital in the surviving/thriving regions, 1:05:33 - 1:05:44 - Cautiously optimistic or at least neutral for South Korea. Great conversation! Maggie is by far the best interviewer I've seen in quite some time!

This episode is very short sighted as is Zeihan. We operated the most efficient and prosperous nation in human history when our population was 175-200 million less in America. Om top billions of jobs will be reduced by software automation, robotics, A.I....etc in a time of de-globalization where the 8 billion shortly will be fighting over resources. The transition to lower population will be hard but we need to reduce the population of the working class by at least 70-80% and all the elite/rich/higher paid government wokrwr families by 99.99%. Strict child control policy should be implemented on the upper strata where only 1 in a million families should be allowed to have children, all the other families should have forced tubal ligation among this wealtheir and even upper level government families. For the other 99.99% of the population, no more than 1% of families should be allowed to have 2 children maximum then tubal ligation should be done. Otherwise expect a dystopian nightmare you cannot imagine.

Totally agree. 53:39 is the primary shill reveal presentation point is 1 min long. Clueless. Deliberate failure to not interject to correct the interviewer that mRNA is only used in agriculture because the lifespan of animals is short. Keeping the animals healthy until their prime harvest for profit margin is reached is purely a death for profit business component. The animals will all die because of ADE if left to live even their full short comparative lifespan. i.e. Marek's Disease. Peter has completely ignored human testing (lack of), to purposely abide by his master's (supposed) extinction plan. < all IMO

I would argue that the U.S. sent their manufacturing overseas because it was cheaper than having those jobs here. The corporations easily made those decisions as they were reflected in the share price of their stock and that is the number one priority for most publicly traded companies. These companies never cared a bit about working conditions- that’s why they all looked the other way when presented with evidence that children were their labor, working in unsafe conditions. I’d say nothing has really changed. Sure companies pay lip service to ESG initiatives but that’s for PR. For Apple to treat over seas employees of Foxconn or other manufacturers the same way apple corporate employees in the U.S. are paid would mean an apple iPhone price of thousands of dollars.
