    This guy just gets better all the time (I have heard this speech so many times I fail to keep count) but every time there is something, re-phrased, which I hadn't caught the first time. Plus he is from Iowa.😀

      Love how he slightly tailors each version of "the same speech" to each audience he delivers it to. Be it a state or city location and how they will fit into the picture, or an industry group (miners, farmers, bankers, etc.) and how the coming changes will apply to them. Little extra nuggets appear in each. And hearing the same speech over time, new events in global news alter parts of the speech. Sometimes it sends some of his analyses into a different direction (fully or partially) and he often acknowledges that, or, often, it re-enforces his point to really drive it home.

      I dislike Peter. I liked him at first. But after listening a few times he doesn’t seem open minded or he doesn’t try to remain unbiased.
      He basically says the U.S. is good and we’ll win and Russia is losing in Ukraine and China is going to collapse. Haha it’s like he never says one bad thing about the U.S. it’s so funny. It’s like id like to listen to this guy and learn but he’s probably just repeating his past lecture and how the U.S. is good and Putin bad.

    As an automation engineer I do wonder about this textile facility he talks about.
    His point about having plants with minimal staff with high production is valid. I once did some work at WWTP with a FT staff of two. The plants PLC did most of the work.
    I was at one larger WWTP that had about 3-5 FT people serving an area with well over 50k residents. Don’t remember the exact numbers.
    The plant I work at makes the majority of NA’s toothpaste for a well known brand (won’t say the brand) with about 500 people.
    Plants in advanced countries are very productive bc they have to be. We can’t just hire another body to work here. There is serious training involved, even for the line workers.

    Some great points, but I feel like they're too rooted in raw economics. There's far more at play in driving global change than just economics, and it's impossible to discern, even in hindsight, which single driving force has the largest impact at any one time.
    Peter touches on bits of this through references to specific historical contexts, but the key points he makes are absolutely based around an economic model of global events.
    I think the discussion on generations is actually very relevant to that end; while the points made around the Boomers influence on Gen X are very valid, one thing that's just as relevant is how the relative stability of the past ~60 years has influenced Gen X.
    Their world was defined by predictability. Relatively stable economies, relatively stable social norms, relatively predictable geopolitics. Their greatest challenges and successes were defined by their participation in the US economy.
    I think this is partly why so much of our current discourse of where we're going is focused around the economics of the future. It's not to say this is bad or wrong, but far too many people fall into the trap of trying to make things align to the reality they're more used to rather than looking at the wider picture.

    I like him, but he is wrong about Australia's sub-prime situation. As a consequence of the GFC, parliament set some rules behind the guarantee to the banks. Since 2010, the equivalent of sub-prime mortgages, low doc mortgages, has dropped from 6.4 % to 0.1%. House prices are still too high, but that has been driven by low housing availability. While immigration remains, the fundamentals will keep prices high. Increasing interest rates have put some recent home buyers into mortgage stress, but the undersupply is still in control.

    I kinda have to sigh when he goes on his millennial rants. Like, we were not given a chance to develop skills. We were blamed for every mistake the boomers made. Gen Xers did nothing to correct the boomers bad behavior or change policies to course correct. And now here we are, and all the things millenials have been warning about for most of our lives have come to a head and the best they can say is "WELL MILLENIALS. BAD."
    We are the most educated, diverse, driven generation in history. Given half a chance our productivity dumpsters that of the boomers and gen x, and there are a lot of us that would love to have any kind of reasonable work to do. But if we are not willing to follow, its because we have not seen any reason to trust the people trying to lead us. We did not have any jobs when we graduated or came out of trade school. The bad behavior of the boomers collapsed the economy, THREE TIMES right when we should have been at our best. Everything costs more for us and we have had little to no chance to build savings like the generations before us. My dad was able to work summers at my granddads bike shop and pay for a whole year of college. Most people my age were extremely lucky to end college with less than 20k in debt.
    Spare me, even the jokes. In virtually every respect millennials were and are straight up better than boomers or gen x, and the older generations just cant handle the fact that they screwed things up so badly that we never got to flourish, and now they have to rely on us to save them after they did everything in their power to stop us from helping.

      I'm gen X and if it's any consolation I don't think the "greatest generation" was so great. They let WWI and WWII happen and produced what, a nuclear arms race that sidetracked nearly everything for a Cold War and every bit of crap that came with it. I lump the silent gen in with these F-ups to.
      I often compare Hitler's third Reich to Jesus's kingdom. With neither being built of brick and mortar, but both being alive and well.
      My parents and grand parents were all lucky to survive birth and child hood. They knew real suffering and pain just to survive, let alone have a chance at easy living.
      We're all products of imperfection and terrible mistakes and not yours or any other gen will escape the human condition. It's not because your parents or grandparents effed up. It's because we're human and we fail. This old blaming the young people and calling them lazy or saying there's no good music since blah blah days, etc etc is what I call age pollution. Don't let it get you, kid. It's an insidious, bitter thing that creeps into your heart and steals life's joy. Every age and gen brings beauty and life. You're part of a gen that has a chance to foster new life going into an era that will likely see the gene pool shrink significantly. My beautiful millenial son is dead from fentanyl. Most would never guess he ever touched those drugs. My beautiful daughter has a beautiful 1ne yr old son. I consider him an embassador to the future in this brave new world.

The same problems of gutting social programs in order to justify military budget spending happened here in some of the same ways by " pull yourself up by your boot straps" Reagan and his boyish charms! This is why we are going through the pushback against globalization due to all the cheap labor,transport, manufacturing, and price points for the growing marketplace of low paid consumers who have to borrow to pay for what we need! So the following generation s are screwed over severely and we will look around and see the truth!

    I dont agree with Zeihan on his view of the US Navy and its diminishing role as the world's guarantor of world trade. The US navy has been as powerful as it is for the same reason as the Royal navy was in the 19th century - power projection pure and simple. The US navy will be the most powerful navy for many decades to come and if a side effect is hassle-free maritime trade that will be a bonus.

    • @stevehatcher7700
      @stevehatcher7700 3 месяца назад

      The US Navy may be just as powerful as it has ever been, but it is structurally different than what it used to be. Large carrier groups are well and good when you need to use force in a particular location. Either being nearby to project it, or actually use it to overthrow a country. But to police the worlds oceans you need a large fleet of frigates and cutters (smaller ships) patrolling here and there and everywhere. In general, the US has been leaning more and more towards the carrier groups and the big ships that tag along there and less towards smaller ships out patrolling. This is where/how the US has been slowly easing out of the game of global ocean cop.

    His predicts are hit and miss (how many times he's predicted teh collapse of China) but I really love how he breaks down economics and logistics and makes the easy to consume and process.

      He wasn't wrong about China. It's imploding as we speak. Peter's problem is he tries to put a specific date on things, but the world is too unstable to operate on a specific timetable

      Peter was accurate that China will break up and it's starting to happen now. Other analysts are seeing it now and the naysayers are beginning to hate the taste of crow for saying Zeihan was very wrong since the beginning. They forgot that demographic trends take decades to work out and are just realizing that Zeihan was ahead of them all by predicting major global trends beyond five to twenty-five years in advance.

      I've followed his assessments and forecasts since the 2000s at STRATFOR. It's funny how most people don't understand the information he's conveying at a level appropriate for its quality, and hear simplified translations in their heads that generally get some form of the message.
      I don't agree with him on some things, but I've never heard anyone have such a grasp of so many different pivotal disciplines integrate them into a comprehensive picture.

      I hear it pointed out in comments sections often about how inaccurate his predictions are. I suspect they're presented as "predictions" as opposed to "plausible scenarios", at least partially, for entertainment value. I'm more susceptible to click bait than I should be, but likely actually less so than most. The point is that it might be necessary to make exaggerated claims so as to help keep an audience and continue to get all these invitations to speak. Maybe. Anyway, who has been significantly better in the "prediction" game?

    Sure he threw a lot of cold water over how feasible the green revolution is, but chemistry and physics don't care how hard something is they'll have played out and will continue to play out exactly how scientists have predicted they would. I wish someone had asked him to elaborate on how he thinks the challenges of global warming will affect these "best laid" plans. As pro-American as his talk was everyone, including America, will be affected by it so while maybe the awfulness of demographics and geography will be blunted by America's fortunate circumstances global warming has the potential to undo a lot of that. The best place for the chip industry to take root in America are in the West (AZ and CO), but if you don't have enough water it won't matter. So while maybe it's not EVs, wind, and solar everywhere we do need a technology to fit here. Nuclear has been on the table the whole time how much can it address if it's built out?

There's economic issues that drive migration, but now there are additional economic issues solely caused by global warming.

    Richard Baris would disagree and Baris has a history of being accurate and ahead of the curve on polling. I like Zeihan but he's working with numbers others provide and if those numbers are wrong then so is the analysis.

      That is key: every time I see something like this, I ask “…How is he wrong?” If his observations are so concrete and obvious everyone would see them. Where are the blind spots and how will populations respond to these challenges? Decades ago we thought overpopulation would lead us to starve, we didn’t anticipate the amount of innovation in agriculture.

      I've listened to him less as I've changed to look for individuals who make short-term improbable predictions with high accuracy. It's made me much more populist than I would have expected pre-2020 as those people tend to be treated like Cassandra.

      Grifter? He has been a geopolitical consultant for decades. He isnt selling anything other than analysis. You can check his demographic data yourself. Whether you buy his conclusions is a whole other story. What is he grifting? Is he grifting more than Ian Bremmer or any other geopoltical consultant? BTW, downvoting a video wont remove it from your feed, ignoring them will help though. Downvoting indicates you interacted with a video and that is all RUclips cares about...it isnt as complex a system as Google would have people believe. Just dont click on the videos, scroll past, unless you are interacting with a ton of geopolitical videos that should sort itself out after a few weeks.
