Pardon me to correct a fact. The Mobile phone was not discovered by US but by Russians. Leonid Ivanovich Kupriyanovich started research in 1955 and in 1957 he had created a device to work within a 30 km range. The first mobile phone is the "Altai" phone and is the size of todays handphone. It went on sale in 1963, 10 years ahead of Motorola. It is due to the cold war that Russian scientific achievements were not reported in the western media.

We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful.

The US will continue to dominate the world.

There's a point I often see going missing about these future projections. (Which is inherent in looking at the past to predict the range of future outcomes.) The issue: Taking the rate of advance for a constant. Aka ignoring engineering (Macrotechnology) Point of Diminishing returns. Conclusion: It takes far more effort to improve upon today's macrotechnology *by the same margins*. This changes power dynamics between leading vs lagging countries to one of but marginal advantages. The move from 18th-19th century was littered with what can be described as the Pareto principle of macro technological advances. Where small advances brought about a huge improvement. > These "sudden" advances allowed the massive, "overnight" differences in power between nations. These shifting power dynamics one could argue were then leveraged by the adopters of the technology to subjugate the not-yet adopters of said technologies. The move from horses to engines is a marvellous advance, metrics wise. It brought about everything from the Eiffel tower to suspension bridges to submarines etc. But we haven't yet seen another "horses to engines" moment happening between today's macrotechnology and those of yesteryears. Big leaps in technology from 1950 to today are almost all confined to the realm of the very small. We've got computers perhaps x1000 times faster, but we can't build tunnels, dams or bridges or skyscrapers x1000 faster or cheaper or bigger. You hit physical constraints = these constraints permit lagging nations to catch up, giving leading nations but marignal advantages. Marginal advantages which could, case dependantly, be compensated by other means. You want examples? Look at the "infrastrcture lag" of certain nations/continents. It's a lot easier (cheaper, doable & scalable) for africans and middleeasterns to have cellphones than bullet trains and access to energy. You want more obvious examples? Different sectors still remain uber expensive to the average, working class. You are holding a device in your pocket which just a few decades ago would cost similar to a luxury car or small apartment. You can buy a brand new phone (with marginal difference between that and a flagship) for 1/10ths of your wage, but you can't buy a brand new car today for less than it cost back then, nor can your city rebuild a stadium or restore a building for 1/100th of the cost.

Excellent overview of the ebb and flow of the geopolitical landscape and the success/limits of war gaming and importance that open sourcing has become to this continuity plan. This convergence of knowledge is as inevitable as the science of language and mathematics. The real test is what world view will prevail? One of increasing Liberty and Peace by this forced equality of technology or more humanistic principles of control?

This guy can't even see 2021 clearly let alone 2050.

Easy to predict 2050 for somebody who probably won't live to see that year and face any embarrassment :))) The number of views is a measure of credibility.

Mr. Freedman, I am surprised you see no role for INDIA in the new emerging world.

Well, looking no the future needs the Almighty to agree with our needs. What I admire in Dr. George Friedman´s presentation is, to my understanding, that besides the geopolitical play ofthe big players, like the war in Ukraine, there is still room for the smaller but smart-enough countries to have their say like Israel, in the Middle East as well as countries like Hungary not supplying weapons, to fuel the conflict. Thank you so much and ask God to mediate between the fools leading the world to Armageddon. Yours respectfully, Paul.67, retired teacher.

America's economic path is completely unsustainable, and the imbalances in its systems become worse by the year. The strength of the petrodollar system is directly proportional to how strong the U.S. military is compared with its rivals in enforcing that system. To be sure, the U.S. does have the largest and most advanced military in the world, but not by as great of a degree as it did thirty years ago. That America has lasted as long as it has under the current system is testament to its inherent geopolitical strengths, but reality catches up with everyone sooner or later no matter how strong they are. The Soviet Union discovered this in a most humiliating fashion.

I wonder if Mr. Friedman is correct on who invented internet. Is it a British guy, not a U S Project? We can add to the technologies, the impact of Turkish drones.

His version of the history of the mobile phone is partially fantasy. Yes, the US military innovated a lot of the technologies applied in mobile and online devices.

People conflate the iPhone with early cellphones, just because it is ubiquitous today. Apple was a late comer to the cellphone business, as you pointed out, but their innovation was a phone that did much more than just communicate. Of course, there were already cellphones that could handle text, etc., but Apple really made the smartphone a thing. My guess is that people like George use the iPhone as an example just because everyone knows what one is, and it is for most people the stereotypical cellular device.

He further clarified that you need someone (in this case the US military) with an identified need and sufficient funding to address it. He could have also used NASA and point out the development of the ballpoint pen, heart monitoring equipment, and other technologies. The other critical point was that the giving of the technology to the private sector. I fail to see where Nokia (a truly great company, undone by a CEO more loyal to Microsoft than Nokia) was relevant to the conversation.

This was not a very informative presentation for me. It does not bring out that the US has orchestrated many of the changes that took place, from the military funding more than 1/3rd of research for 40 years following WWII, to deflating the Japanese economy in the latter 80s by forcing Japan to dramatically adjust its currency and collapse its credit system (during which period I was working for the government in Japan). The instability in the Middle East was due to foreign military action in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and so on. And now with Russia, pushing Nato into 15 more countries has caused great instability in Russia/Ukraine. Furthermore, using GDP as a measure, Korea’s economy might be bigger than Russia's but if one uses purchasing power parity as the IMF and the World Bank do, Russia’s economy is larger than that of Germany. And China’s economy is already maybe 1/3rd larger than that of the US. I didn’t take much away from this presentation.

Some of the things he said made sense but frankly he seemed like a US/Western stooge more than anything . 20 minutes wasted .

Well, 6 months down the line, his prediction and expectations have been factually debunked.

Very interesting. As was his lectern and mic control. Great content, he meandered through history and the future with many interesting insights. Unfortunately, the focus of his intellect was somewhat watered down by his meanderings around the stage - out of earshot of the microphone on the lectern at times. Slight oversight? Otherwise, very interesting indeed. :)

He’s reminding me of a series from History channel, ‘Tactical to Practical’. It was an amazing series btw.

Please get an attachable mike if your going to pace in and out of range of the podium.

Well, predicting future by looking at the past is of course a popular way to do it. The assumption of this approach is that the future environment is similar to the past. It is quite obvious that the environment today is different from what US enjoyed in 20 century. The gap in technology between US and China or India or any other developing nation in 20th century was so huge that it was almost impossible for those nations to dream about what US had. Today it is not the case. There is no such a technological gap, there wasn’t any significant scientific discoveries in the last 50years (for example nuke or microelectronics) that helped US to be at the top. All existing technologies have been adopted and mastered by all major nations. US is still at the frontier of the technological innovations but US has been loosing its leading position in many important areas - hypersonic is just one of the examples. US has no unique breakthrough technology (and won’t be able to get it in modern world) that will help them get ahead as much as they used to be in 20th century and thus 21st century will look very different for US: USA will become one of many technological powerhouses and America’s technological superiority if any will be marginal

This is what happens when you oversimplify everything.

No! Need alone is not enough. Do you know human history? There was always a need for more food and energy, nothing happened! I think you oversimplify too much. I don't think you know anything about the subject. What you say is if there is a need, it will eventually happen given enough time. That can be true. If you give an infinite amount of time and if there is a need, it will probably happen. But that isn't the question. The question is what is necessary for something to happen. First, there must be a structure that focuses on the need. Second, there must be enough resources. A company will never invest in something if the risk of failure is too high. The military doesn't need to make a profit, hence it can do what companies can't. It can invests billions of dollar even if the risk of failures is high. There are other ways to mitigate the risk. For example, patents, subsidies or government investments.

I think his comments about Russia won't age well. The U.S. fought their wars in the Middle East with one arm tied around their back to avoid excessive collateral damage. The same is true of Russia vs Ukraine, or at least it was at first. America's wars in the Middle East were not existential conflicts for them. Russia's war in Ukraine IS. It's not a conflict Russia can even entertain the idea of losing. They are about to go all out short of bringing out the nukes, and when they do, Ukraine is going to be crushed unless NATO gets directly involved in the fighting.

Haha! Did he really say that sanctions crushed Russia (rather than Europe)??? Seriously?

Being Polish and hearing that my country is destined to be some kind of superpower is very enticing, there are some big but(t)s that are in the way (at least in my opinion): -rapidly aging population since the late 90's due to many factors, but mostly housing crisis, mass exodus of qualified workforce to western EU after accession and rising costs of living. You're not planning to have children when living in a 2 room rented apartment with rent eating about 1/2 of your salary. This has been mitigated somewhat by the recent influx of Ukrainian refugees, part of which will probably make it their new home for life here. But it is no long-term solution, only a one-time boost. -while having educated workforce , relatively low costs of labor, reasonable work efficiency, efficiency is very low du to a number of factors, some of which are below. -there is practically no hi-tech industry owned by national (polish) capital. Car industry, advanced machinery, telecommunications etc. is being owned by foreign capital due to western investments or pre 1989 polish industry being sold off for pennies or collapsed. Most of the profits of high-tech, high-profit industry are siphoned out from the country. -even sectors as basic as retail groceries chains (Biedronka, LIDL, Lewiatan etc) are dominated by foreign ownership. So when buying tomatoes for your tomorrow breakfast you support the Portuguese, not local companies. -healthcare and education systems are in an abysmal state, health sector nearly collapsed during the pandemic due to 30 yeas of very poorly planned and even worse executed reforms. Mean age of nurses is above 50 ears (sic!). Partially because younger medical staff fled to the west (where you can earn 4x times more for doing 2/3 of work done here), partially well... there are very few incentives to work in healthcare, even less in education. Young teacher earns minimum wage, he can earn more working as a cashier. And many, many more reasons, why I can hardly see us as a superpower. Poland is no means perfect, even more so is not a bad place, has many, many good sides, it should strive for greatness. But a superpower? I highly doubt it. Plus our neighbors (most of which I like) sometimes do not help. Germany for instance, with forcing Nord Stream, fierce opposition to Baltic Pipe, openly hindering our efforts to go nuclear, and all the propaganda against Vistula Lagoon canal. While we would be the ones to bear most the financial weight and risk of being a military shield to CE Europe. Its a difficult task.

The problem with Morre's law, and it is a rather big one, is how you cool a machine capable of this kind of processing power. I think we are at, or near, the practical limit of what we can do with small-scale computational devices barring a complete revolution in technology. A smartphone is not a Playstation 5, nor is any smartphone in the impending future going to be capable of that kind of processing power. There is only so much you can do with miniaturization. To go further than this requires more space for cooling systems. More cooling systems require more energy. More energy means more space in which a large battery needs to be stored. Computers in general may become more powerful, but this will apply to traditional desktops more than personal devices that can be carried around. I predict that smartphone tech will plateau very soon, and that any innovations will be in quality of life improvements rather than raw processing power.

USA won't exist in 2050. Either peaceful divorce of left and right, or civil wars. China will be the biggest superpower.

It is very interesting to lessen George Friedman.

When George started constantly pacing & going off the mics about 2/3 through his talk I felt like I was watching an Ozzy Osbourne performance.

The world is ending in 10 years due to the conflict among countries, so why worry what's going to come in 28 years from now??? He he he!

In my opinion, the biggest issue that Mr. Friedmann doesn't take into the discussion is the problem of demographic development in the world. Therefore, all analyses of Mr. Friedmann you can take with reserve. By Mr. Friedmann, everything is more important than the people, technology. Industries, space war, ...... but on the example of Afghanistan, we have seen that the effect of the human element is most important. Taliban have this demographic reserve of boys, each family has from three to five boys, when the oldest is fallen on the field there is a second or the third to take a gun and continue to fight. When NATO or US soldiers fall on the field, there is just a sister or girlfriend waiting for them at home. Ukraine is a country with 44 million people At this moment there are about 500,000 people in the army which is something like 1.1% of the population?! The Winner in this war will be the side that will be capable to make massive mobilization if the Russians take that step for a quote of time they will have 10,000,000 soldiers if Ukraine will have 3,000,000 - but all these regimes are afraid of massive mobilization because there is just one boy in a house in vast majority of Russian and Ukrainian homes.

This geopolitical subject is clearly not in the position to claim the role of the antagonist against the egemonic power of USA, however it has demonstrated with these recent eventst hat when there's a need they can compact and are still capable to stand against Ucraina which is/was not such a weak country being armed and financed by collective western countries (NATO), and not only survived the sanctions but they benefited of that being an immensely rich country! We/they will see in 25 years cross who is right!

I definitelly agree with Poland. As Czech I even hope Poland will take lead in EU which I'm predicting for several years to happen in next 30 years. Now with what is happening dureing this war I expect it to happen even sooner. I'm glad that we have been recently close to Poland and especially proud of visegrad4 which unfortunatelly with our current government is not as stong as it used to be. I really hope for Poland to become superpower at least in Europe and replace Germany. Poles are rationally thinking people, pragmatic, cristian with values and pro family.
