    I found Peter Zeihan in 2021 at the outbreak of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I went back on YT to 2014 when he was hawking his first book. Between 2014 and 2021 the feel of those talks was he was having to convince people that what he was saying was based on real data, demographics, geography, economics, etc. Everybody was freaking out about China and deciding whether they liked Putin or not based on their political affiliation. Nobody is really challenging him anymore. His talks and books have largely become prophetic and they just want to know what's coming next.

    I lived in Japan for 22 years and have a family in Japan. One thing I would say is that the cost of food and the quality of the diet is much better than western countries. And this might seem like a small thing to some. The cost of food, the availability of good food has a run on effect in the economy. And this is where the US, UK and Australia have a huge problem. Because of the addiction to sugar and the use of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in all processed foods, we see obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes rates skyrocketing. In the UK they amputate more limbs each year due to diabetes than all of the amputation due to war. So this is why Japan is aging gracefully and in general are more healthy and productive in old age.

    Another big difference between pre world War 2 and post world War 2 is the overall home structure . The city has always been kind of different but most American families lived together in same house or on same property for generations. Basically most Americans didn't leave home and therefore there was not a major issue with childcare or senior care because the family took care of this as a natural part of the household. This doesn't mean even in this structure no one left home but most either didn't or returned. Interestingly this trend also coincides with the collapse of family generational wealth . So while some unjustly say youth staying home longer is un-American is egregiously untrue but the fact that youth staying home tend to contribute less to the household is new in this general traditional household .

    Out of the home at 17-18 for those kids who went away to college; community college kids were the ones who stayed home for the duration of college. Staying home or living with ones parents was definitely looked down upon in the 80s. Pre WWIi - agricultural lifestyle for those NOT in cities. Growing your own food was a non-negotiable. Creation of cities lured people off farms/self-sufficiency to perhaps higher paying jobs but at what cost? Incompetence in food sovereignty and placing a paycheck before tangible skills. Computerization of the workplace further created a non- skilled population and hence, perhaps, a reason college students stayed at home or moved back home after college: laziness and lack of mental fortitude. Sitting behind a computer is not a skill, neither is pushing a cart down a food aisle in a food store. "Young" adults today are not skilled like youth prior to WWII, the great game changer in the 1900s along with the office lifestyle/ mentality.

    Great talk, with the usual caveats. Peter knows so much, but when he starts talking about technology, I always find myself heaving a big sigh and thinking about skipping. I usually don't, just to see what he's learned, or what he might know about related tech supply chains that I don't - I still learn something new about tech-related materials supply chains almost every time he does a big new talk. But that's where his insight on tech begins and ends. I'm an electrical engineer and have worked in tech for over a decade between three countries in telecom and computing hardware manufacturing and design, and I can confidently say that almost everything Peter says about tech is either half-right and sort of missing the point, or dead wrong. He suffers from massive confirmation bias on this specific subject. It's a glaring weakness of his worldview and unfortunately leads him - and therefore presumably his paying clients - slightly astray in an area where you need reasonably comprehensive knowledge to understand industry trends and how certain technologies actually work. Peter is a generalist, and unfortunately for him, tech isn't something you can "fake it 'til you make it" on. He should stop talking about tech (except for relevant supply chains). It makes him look bad.

    @@lucasward9506 Well, the shale industry has been steadily driving down the COSTS of drilling for shale, but for sure, the early days of the shale boom were made possible only because of >$100/barrel oil, and massive amounts of cheap capital made especially cheap because of the near zero Fed fund rates. It would be interesting to have Peter do a deep dive into what the exact break even costs of drilling for shale oil are now. I know at one time, it was around $60/barrel, which was why in 2016, MBS opened the Saudi spigots to drive the price of oil DOWN, with the expressed intent of driving the shale operators out of business. There is a limit to how cheap shale oil can get, simply because new shale wells have to be drilled constantly - each horizontal borehole generally produces only for about 3 years and then dries up, and so they have to keep drilling constantly, unlike the giant oil fields where a single drilled well will tap into a huge pool of oil that can produce for decades.

    Peter is a bit incorrect about Russia's 'bad weather' ejecting invaders. The Mongols weren't ejected by that. The Mongols were acclimatised to even worse weather and their ponies were tougher than the warriors. They succumbed to infighting and fractured. The Golden Horde was one of successor Mongol khanates, occupying southern Ukraine, Crimea, and Central Russia south and east of Ryazan. The Germans in WWI weren't booted due to weather. They defeated Tsarist Russia and the new governing Bolsheviks surrendered an enormous amount of territory. It was the western Europeans defeating Germany that forced Berlin to give up these winnings. In WWII Germany's poor logistics had the panzers outrunning the horse-and-wagon infantry and logistics. (The same was happening in North Africa when Italian merchant vessels were sunk, depleting Rommel's supplies and ending his offensive capability tin Egypt.) This was happening in summer and autumn in the USSR. Fuel, lubricants, spare parts, food, fodder for the horses, medicine, etc were affected by the over-stretched lines of communication. This prevented the Germans from pressing the advantage, allowed the Red Army to regroup and dig in. But, Germany's tactics were better suited for western Europe where British and French ran out of room to manoeuvre. The USSR had abundant space to manoeuvre, though Stalin misused this advantage. In 1941 the USSR had even worse logistics than the Germans. By 1944 its logistics were mechanised and radio transmitters were a force multiplier.

They seem capable of producing armies of hackers, if nothing else. Is he speaking about engineering?

And the cycle begins again! The wealthy get wealthier and it starts every time with massive printing of dollars!! Americans are too damn dumb to vote for an outsider like Vivek he’s our only chance of changing the system.

However, never forget, he is a globalist and uni-party man who seems to love the main stream media and all the dross they dish out. I still do love his presentations except when he talks about anything having to do with Trump simply because his responses are knee jerk globalist responses.
