I would suggest he ask fewer 'What if' questions and better connect his questions with Sara's previous answers. It seems like he had a prepared list of questions and didn't adjust them regardless of Sara's responses. Additionally, the interviewer inserted many personal opinions and giggles into his questions, which was distracting.

Proverbs 1; 24-26 May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world { you were warned } And it shall come to pass in that day, a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. Zechariah 14;13 'Tumult' = disbelief & confusion ...the answer: They are deliberately and purposefully blinded by the Lord. Ignorance and then even contempt.

Division is worldwide in religions, politics, economics, industry, news, sports, entertainment, medicine, and even between the sexes. The Lord is known by the judgement which he executeth, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. Psalm 9;16 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee O inhabitant of the earth.

Sarah living in Taiwan and China for 3 years each sure helped formed her opinions and the vast esoteric knowledge she gained on the nuances of Taiwan/Japan relationships. This must have something to do with whom she spent some quality time with-the benshengrens (lol). These people had their roots on the island as far back as the 1600s and lived through the Imperial Japanese occupation period (1895-1945) and were treated well by the Japanese colonizers: they built the current infrstructures on the island that still exists today and propped up the local economy that the former Qing colonizers never bothered doing. The Chinese then viewed Taiwan as a backwater island occupied by belligerent "savages" (aborigines) and because of their bellicose resistance to Qing rule, they never had the full administration of the island except the western coastal plains. Conversely, the minority waishengrens who migrated to Taiwan post 1949, at least the older generations who still recalled the Japanese atrocities they experienced while still living on the mainland, passed this resentment and hatred down to their younger generations, and have nothing but vengeful things to say about Japan, identical of that shared on the mainland. 🤷‍♂️

She is amazing and the combination of your great well informed questions and her knowledge and intuitive responses was riveting. The way you so obviously appreciate her work is charming. Well worth the time.

Dr Paine is really a joy to listen to. She speaks with confidence on what she knows (which is a lot) and isn’t willing to entertain discussions she can’t speak to. The level of intellectual honesty is such a breath of fresh air.

Excellent, both individuals. Sarah Paine utterly astonishing. She provides really powerful intellectual perspectives on social structure, and geopolitical strategy. I could listen to her all day.

Individuals like this are really great at structuring the whole sentence before they even start speaking it. It's clear she chooses her words with great precision.

She modified each of his questions, ignored some completely, and wrote off others entirely. Perfect. Amateurism has its place in allowing more conversations to take place and get started, but it also has some severe drawbacks. She did a great job of steering around the drawbacks, and avoided wild speculation. 10/10 to Sarah Paine

I'll say it. This interviewer sucks.

Through history, most diplomats spoke multiple languages. And she is 100% correct that reading a lot and learning a different language does effect how you think and how you view the world. Reading fiction, taught me to use my imagination and it also taught me what I love and what I hate. Having lived in Japan for 22 years, taught me how to argue in Japanese, how to love in Japanese and that made me culturally Japanese. So adding those ticks to your being. Living long term in another country, helps you understand a different way of being. Listen to Sarah C. M. Paine, she has so much wisdom.

2,5 hours well spent. What an absolutely pleasure it must be to attend the lectures of professor Paine. Few academics can communicate complex insights as clearly as her, while placing them in the bigger picture. And my hat off to you as well Dwarkesh. An interview is only as good as the questions asked. And you really did your homework.

This is the best 2.5 hours on recent history ive ever spent. This is phenomenal. Sarah Paine is possibly one of the greatest historians ive ever run across. Thank you very much for creating this content.

She is one of the most intelligent people I have ever heard speak on this topic. Incredibly cogent and decisive. I really enjoy how she gets to the point and speaks directly.

I haven’t finished this whole clip (about 15 minutes in) but I’ve seen this gal before and I like her a lot more than Zeihan. Zeihan is smart but he’s corrupted and not always honest. I might disagree with Sarah on some things but so far what I’ve seen from her is very objectively based. I feel like I could talk to her and she would like me even while disagreeing with me and not see me as an enemy. Where as Zeihan would maybe like me, he would still totally see me as an enemy, despite the fact in my view him and I do agree on some core things. I got keyed into that by his dishonest portrayal of Bernie Sanders, like him or don’t, there’s no reason ever to exaggerate what Bernie is when you know as much about the world as Zeihan does, which told me he is being deliberately dishonest and not just reactionary. The fact of the matter is Bernie is a moderate in every single other western country, even conservatives in those countries agree 60 to 70% with Bernie depending on the country, but Zeihan acted as if Bernie is some kind of radical. I’ve also heard him preach China doomerism but China despite being awful in my mind still succeeds and manages as a country, which is precisely why we should take them seriously as a threat, however in terms of them actually invading Taiwan I think it’s unlikely anytime soon, they just don’t have the capability. They will however and are focusing on building up their navy and naval infrastructure to take control of the South China Sea, that will happen before it becomes possible to know if they will invade Taiwan or not. The problem with China and part of why we should never underestimate them is they have the most important resource, humans and lots of them, they do have serious demographic problems but that coincides with a society that cares for the elderly and an advancement in technology that they themselves are taking a part in. I think people like Zeihan can sometimes be naive about the capabilities and societies of our enemies, has too much of the “we are better than them” attitude (which we are better than them but maybe believing that isn’t the best thing for us)

@@democracydignityhumanrights Sarah Paine is on a different level than Peter Zeihan. While I appreciate him for raising awareness of unknown but relevant statistics and patterns, he simply lacks her the academic depth and processes.

The 'death ground' is a nice example of this.
