I love Peter's stuff and he is incredibly entertaining but don't confuse confidence in one's Viewpoint with true knowledge of the future. Just in this interview he's backtracking on many of the things he said last year were definitely going to happen like Mass famine and people freezing to death in their homes. What prognosticators like Peter fail to realize is that there are billions of people that are conscious actors in this world and all have a vested interest in survival. Charts and spreadsheets are great but they don't speak to the human spirit.

[@chrishooge3442]

The outcomes might be speculative but the underlying demographics, geographies, and existing industrial and energy complexes take years and decades to change. The world was sleep walking into this deglobalization and fed into Peter's narrative very well. Then Russia invaded Ukraine and woke everybody up. It's like they suddenly realized there was cobra in the room and took immediate action. It clearly took Russia by surprise. It's unfortunate because Russia has so much to offer the world...if only they'd be a better neighbor. He made an interesting point here I've not heard before. He's said in the past that Germany was demographically declining. He's also said since the invasion that their economy is on the precipice of an energy induced collapse. What's new...the large portion of the EU economy that Germany represents puts them all in peril. I'd not heard him explicitly state that before. Peter could be all wrong but we'd be foolish not to make contingency plans for various scenarios.

Finally Peter admits the Russian people understand privation. So I've spent a lot of time in Ukraine and ventured into Russia once. One can't help but understand how similar their societies are. Most of the Ukrainians I speak with note their families raise 100-200kg of potatoes every year. Food preservation is a normal activity. As long as they have access to their preserved food and potatoes they will not starve. One also has to understand normal salaries. Unless one lives in a city the equivalent of $200/month is normal. And it seems like everyone's boss skips out on paying them at least once a year.

The hTGM rolled out of production around 2016 and I believe is offered as a free option to add to their technology from the company if vendors switch to a Neon gas recycling program that reduces the usage by 25% which is significant. Semiconductor manufacturers will probably be able to stay ahead of the problem.

@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 He said China would be done a decade ago, and has just pushed the claim back 10 years. Believed Russias nuclear hyperbole was just that, then considered it serious against certain targets, and is now saying it’s bull again. Flip flops constantly on how well either side is doing in this war.

​@HARDWOOD THOUGHT well he updates his views with new information. Id prefer that over sticking to the same theory even when presented with new counter-evidence. He is certainly wrong about timelines, that is the hardest part to predict in anything. But just because his conclusions are wrong doesnt mean he isnt worth a listen. Look at the evidence he has and it has value. Unexpected or unpredicted things WILL happen. So no, he isnt nostradomus, but he does have some great points: demographics is influencing our economics in the background, globalization made the economy very vulnerable and we may be looking at its end, and things like energy and raw materials are taken as a given in the modern world but the abundance of them is a luxury we have been living with and gotten used to, which isnt sustainable.

​@HARDWOOD THOUGHT I haven't noticed any flip flopping when it comes to anything, he has been VERY consistent to be frank.

It’s not about performance. It is about who will win the war.

[@jamesbell7220]

Zeihan is absolutely fascinating. A unique base of analysis - geopolitics and demographics - and an encyclopedic command of detailed history. Brilliant! And Maggie Lake is a superb interlocutor. An outstanding, illuminating, and engaging conversation. Well done.

[@scottnunan4927]

I find Zeihan fascinating and enjoy hearing him speak, but people need to remember he has a vested interest in perpetuating doom. He speaks very declarative about very subjective subjects that are nothing more than him looking into a crystal ball. He just makes it sound like they are facts and foregone conclusions. He's wrong all the time. Like constantly wrong. He's been wrong about UA for the last year. He acts like China not being a country by 2030 is obviously just a fact. I could keep going but you get the point. Super interesting guy. Great speaker. Obviously smart. But keep in mind he's a corporate geopolitical consultant that benefits greatly from doom and gloom sentiment

[@johngogoll3897]

Really need to dissect truth from BS with this guy. I'd like to hear his take on BRICS.

[@lowe102]

His viewpoint is the reason we are in trouble today and in the future

Great video. Learned so much. Thank you.

[@genebaughbba]

No you have been misinformed by someone who is preaching the NATO narrative which is false. Ukraine has already lost 350,000 soldiers. This war is now over It ended in a place called Bakmoot. Ukraine has already lost 20 or 30,000 soldiers in the failed counteroffensive where they also lost 30% of the Bradley's Many leopards. They have not even been able to reach the first line of Russian defense. And apparently have given up trying.

I am not sure what Peter Zeihan means by 1/3rd Indians digitised is enough . AADHAR digital ID is covers over 98% of the population . India is onboarding supply chains and have free trade agreements with UAE,South Korea , Australia (Western country ) . Discussion is going on with European Union . Not having free trade with USA does not mean India does not believe in free trade

I noticed they just call him names like a kid on a school playground. They can't actually provide numbers or reasoning to debunk what he says.

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

@@MarkGast Yep there's tons of that. I can appreciate a good argument, but a simple bald assertion on how much he sucks doesn't advance anyone's understanding about anything.

[@jasonsstratton]

@@MarkGast it's like they all have a sheet to read from. They have to call him a propagandist, which doesn't really mean anything to an American, so I'm not sure what that means, maybe something to the Chinese. Then they say something about the CIA or neocon, then somehow bring it back to how he's wrong on China.🤣

[@VenturiLife]

I wouldn't write off China too easily, with more than four thousand years of recorded history, and probably plenty more undocumented history behind that. To say China can be stubborn, and willing to make sacrifices, is an understatement. They certainly can adapt to a degree, but they do believe in a total top down hierarchical control (effectively with a "King" or royalty). The economy is certainly a huge part, but China survived before the West came along to engage economically, and they're far more self-sufficient now. Russia proved when the USSR fell in the late 80's, that it's not impregnable to external pressures.

[@bobs_toys]

Long term, sure. Within our lifetimes? They're in for some bad times. And yes. Particularly their leadership is painfully stubborn. That's not a good thing. Also, they're not self sufficient. Not remotely.

[@Anne-LiseH]

Younger Chinese have a saying “Lie Flat” as in they don’t believe they will receive proper compensation for work. New saying is “Let it Rot”.
