Substack Founding Members Livestream #2

Hello, anyone. I would like to.

Okay. Yeah. Thank you, Sarah.

Thank you. So good evening everyone. Hi, Professor Jiang. Thank you for the Zoom meeting. So my question is a little bit general because with the very recent developments with Trump, we go back to a war situation. Obviously, apparently he mentioned he still wants to talk to Iran, but the ceasefire is over. So the whole story continues there. But what are your thoughts now? Do you think they might now start to get the ground troops going, or at least get the soldiers ready, so to say? Yeah, my English, I'm from Belgium, so I try to make it clear.

Yeah. So I think for the next two to three months you will have a lot of back and forth. There are going to be some moments of intense warfare, like what's been happening these two days, and suddenly it will stop for a few more days, they will say the MOU is still in force, and then for whatever reason we're back at war again. Okay. So I want to go over why this is happening. Okay. First of all, what's really important to appreciate is that the military leadership is now divided from the political leadership in Iran.

I have just a follow-up question, Professor. Because you mentioned China buys up a lot of oil, so they have that leverage. But we're seeing now, after the first situation where they were like, oh, it's going to cost so much for the people because of the Strait of Hormuz, and in your last post in the article you mentioned it, like now no one is talking about it, everything stays the same price because China probably did some bargaining to lift the pressure actually for the public of the world. What do you think, is the development the same, are they going to keep going until the invasion in the second part of the year and then we're going to feel it more? Yeah, that's my follow-up question.

Yeah. So I think one really important thing we need to keep in mind is the people in charge right now do not do long-term thinking. They don't do long-term strategy. For them it's all about short-term benefit. Right? So Trump does not want the price of oil to skyrocket because then the American public will freak out. So he's made a deal with a lot of people, the Chinese but also the Iranians, the Russians, right? So he's basically allowing the Iranians to sell oil, to dump oil in the market, primarily to the Chinese.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.

So thank you so much, sir. So, Leandro, could you ask a question or make a comment?

Hello, Professor, can you hear me?

Yes, I can. You sound great. Great. Yes. So, great to be here on the call. First of all, thank you very much for your lectures these past few months. So what I'm curious about is, in the media these last few years, with the rise of certain influencers, how do you view that rise of influencers, like even you've talked to Sneako on a few calls as well, obviously. How do you see the rise of these influencers who promote young men to be like, "Yeah, you need to be more masculine.

Sure. I understand. Yeah. So, I mean, we've seen a lot of influencers these past 10 years that have skyrocketed to fame, right, who speak to young men. The most obvious example is Jordan B. Peterson. And Jordan Peterson was able to capture the imagination of young men, especially young white men, because at this time in history, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, right, especially these four years, DEI world progressive politics has basically taken over the American, Canadian, Western school system. And you know, young men were taught that masculinity was toxic and that they were the real problems in society, and a lot of people, especially from minority groups, were being promoted in schools.

Yeah, like basically, so to sum it up, it's kind of like, because of these last few decades, that young men have become kind of Thank you so much.

Just more disembedded, that this shift in structure has just allowed the space for these people to then, as you say, provide a breath of fresh air. But it's kind of just a natural process then, that that's the logical consequence of how the last few years and decades Yeah.

And I think the major issue is that rather than engaging people like Jordan Peterson or the Tate brothers or Nick Fuentes, instead of engaging them in debate, these people Yeah.

People just follow them blindly.

Yeah. These people are labeled in a certain way that does not allow for debate. So I'm a big proponent of free speech. I'm a big proponent of free debate. So if you disagree with someone, it's important to engage that person in a debate and show the problems or vulnerabilities in that person's argument. But when you actually just cancel other people, then that makes them martyrs and that makes people even more loyal to them.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So Pedran, it's... Yes. Hi.

Hello, professor. Thank you so much for your time. Hello, class. In your most recent post, The Perfect Storm, you had a lot of great correlations. One of the big ones you made was the collapse of the Bronze Age to where we are in history. So I'd like for you to talk a little bit about that. And the point that really stuck out to me, because I think many people would sweep it under the rug, is that at Anchorage, at the most recent NATO conference, Trump gave the green light to Zelensky for producing the Patriot Defense Missile System in house in Ukraine.

What does that mean? How will Putin escalate?

Right. Okay. So I draw a correlation between our time and the Bronze Age collapse because both times represent a time of maximum... Meaning that Pax Americana, the American Empire, is able to cover every aspect of the globe. And so if there's a collapse, it has to be a complete systems collapse, right? So in World War II, Europe did collapse, Asia did collapse, but North America really wasn't that affected. And so North America, primarily the United States, was able to come over and rebuild the rest of the world. And this is what's led to Pax Americana.

Thank you so much.

Okay. Great. All right.

Hello, professor. Can you hear me?

Yes, I can. You sound great.

Okay. Thank you very much. Hi, everybody. Yeah, so also taking into consideration what you just spoke about, the current state of the world. Well, I live in Colombia. I was born in Peru. So I always think that this kind of pressure on the other side of the world, especially with Iran and with the food production over there, is going to create more instability in this part of the world, in Latin America. So I'm not sure if you have any predictions or any thoughts about how that's going to play out in our part of the world.

Yeah. So unfortunately America will become very aggressive in the northern hemisphere. So we saw what America did to Venezuela in January of this year. Right now what America is doing is embargoing Cuba. So these millions of Cubans have lost access to energy. Okay. So Cuba is not able to produce its own energy. It has to import it from Venezuela. And now Russia's trying to supply Cuba with energy and with food, but that's not a long-term solution. So we can expect Cuba to be the next domino to fall.

All right. Professor, if you don't mind, I have a second question.

Sure. Go ahead. Related, it has to do with what someone else put on the chat. It's regarding, for example, since I watch your classes I have access to different books that maybe I have not come across before. I basically had to build my own curriculum so I can study on my own. But sometimes it feels overwhelming and I'm not sure if you have any kind of way or any advice for us. For example, I feel like I've been left behind by the education system. I'm trying to catch up right now but it feels hard while trying to play the adult in society.

Yeah. So I would suggest that it's very important to read good books because reading good books really enhances your own capacity to think deeply and to really study the news, right? So we're bombarded by news all the time. The problem for us is how do you differentiate what is real news from what is fake news, right? So I spend all my time on Twitter and I need to figure out what is real and what is fake, because 90% of what you read on Twitter is going to be fake news, right?

Okay. So basically reading good books to discriminate truth from fake.

Exactly. Right. Yeah. Reading good books will really enhance your critical thinking skills. Thank you so much.

Great. Okay. Joyce.

Hello, Professor Jiang. My name is Joyce. I live in the New York City area. So I actually have three questions. If it's too much, No worries.

No worries.

You don't have to answer all of them or pick the one you like.

Lots of time. Yep.

Okay. So, in no particular order, what signals do you look for?

I understand I've asked you about timing before and you say you don't like to talk about timing because it's impossible to know when things will play out, right? Okay, that's fine. So then I guess what are signals that you will look for actively as a sign that things are going to change dramatically one way or another?

Yeah. So when I follow the news I'm always looking for anomalies. Okay. Or the idea of cognitive dissonance, which is, given my understanding of something, this should not be happening. And so the best example of cognitive dissonance is when the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago mansion back in, I believe was it 2021, March of 2021, but I knew that when the FBI did that, Trump would become president in 2024, and the reason why is that with the FBI weaponized against Trump, Trump would have no choice but to reclaim the presidency to defend himself.

Interesting. Thank you. So my second question is, it seems to me you read primarily English news. So I'm curious, you know, if you read or can read news in other languages, and if so, what do you read and what are the disparities that you see between different languages?

That's a great question. I wish I read widely, but I don't read widely. I stick primarily to English news sources just because it's easier for me to access. I tend to read really quickly. I can read Chinese, but I read it very slowly. Now, I do keep abreast of Chinese news and my wife just tells me what the headlines are every single day. I'm interested in Chinese news because I find Chinese news to be actually pretty objective when it comes to foreign events.

So I don't know if you've seen that thing called PressReader. They have it in hotels from time to time and it kind of collates a lot of different newspapers from everywhere.

Okay. So my last question is, I have kids as well. I have two young daughters. So I'm curious, you know, for the purpose of helping them not be stuck in a box, right, in whatever education system they're in, to develop them as critical thinkers, are there programs that you know of that are good for that that aren't necessarily in any particular physical location? Or is that something you're developing?

Yeah. So I'm not sure if you know the Waldorf school system.

The Waldorf school system developed by Rudolf Steiner.

That's something to look at. These Silicon Valley executives in California, they sent all their kids to these Waldorf schools because these Waldorf schools emphasized a lot of natural play, like kids run around in the forest a lot, and that's really important for kids. And Silicon Valley executives do this because they know that technology is designed to be as addictive as possible. So if kids at a very early age start looking at the screen too much, their minds are captured. The screens are set in a certain way that it becomes almost addictive, right? It's always causing this dopamine release inside the brain. And so you want your kids away from sugar, you want your kids away from the screen as much as possible. I have three kids, I struggle with this because these things are so pervasive throughout our society, right?

Great. And you had a third question.

Oh, no. That was my third question.

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I lost track. Okay. Thanks a lot. Okay. Nick.

Hi, Nick.

Hi, professor. Hi. This is Nick from Beijing. Thank you for hosting this meeting. I really appreciate this opportunity. I basically have two questions, one on self-exploration and the other one on educating young children. I believe Troy's question is actually quite similar to mine. So let me first set up my perspective. Sure. So when watching through, yeah, thank you, when watching through your lectures I feel enlightened many times and I would like to think that my inner spark shines when I get my own ideas inspired in this process.

Oh, right.

Try to look... Look, it's a really great book. I spent one afternoon reading it, I just could not stop. But I really want to have this discussion with you on these topics directly as you see they're kind of related. Yeah. So, thank you so much, and I really sympathize with your plight because I'm also Chinese and, you know, we grew up in a culture that is extremely materialistic. So I was not schooled in China, but I was schooled in Toronto. And my parents were Chinese.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Maybe a very quick follow-up. You talk about religious and spiritual learning, and what is a right time or right avenue for introducing those ideas to children? Especially, I grew up in China so I don't have those experiences, so I just, yeah, I'm kind of lost on this.

I think children are intuitively religious people, so it's really, yeah, you should start right away. You know, we have great conversations at home about religion. You know, my eldest son who's 8 years old, he's convinced that he's from another planet. Okay, his soul transmigrated to our world. So they have an intuitive understanding of these things. So, you know, introduce your child to Buddhism, to Taoism, to different aspects of religion, and I think that is really going to motivate your child to do better in school.

Thanks so much, Nick. Okay. Fred.

Hey Jiang, hello founding members. I'm Fred, coming here from Kentucky. And the question I kind of have for you has to go back to the war situation currently.

I don't think it's covered too much in the news.

Yeah. So if I'm the United States, the proxies are a huge problem because if I launch my ground invasion, my flank is still vulnerable because of these proxies, right? The Houthis, the Shia militias in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Okay. So I need to neutralize all three before I can launch my grand invasion.

Okay. So the signals are this. Okay. Lebanon is the major point of contention, right? So if you look at the MOU, it's extremely generous to the Iranians, right? It promises $300 billion in investment after the war ends. It promised to lift sanctions. It promises to unfreeze assets and I think the assets total about $200. Okay, there are a lot of Iranian assets that have been frozen by the Americans and their allies. Okay. So it's very favorable to the Iranians. The point of contention is Hezbollah, right?

Sorry.

Okay. All right. Okay. So Hezbollah is a point of contention. We're also seeing that Trump is now being very nice to Syria. You know, al-Jolani participated in the NATO summit in Ankara and America is going to lift all sanctions on Syria, and I think the idea is to bring Syria into the war against Lebanon. Right? So what's going to happen is this.

Absolutely. No, yeah, basically seems like the only option they have is to really maintain control of the strait in order to get enough money to fund those proxies, to kind of get them in the best position. My second question I did have for you was, it's actually very similar to Nick's, on if you had any recommendation, based on what you've been able to selectively attend to, with different great books, if someone was going to go about reading about Zoroastrianism or the Cabala. Do you have a recommendation on where they should start with that?

Yeah, so again, I plan on doing a whole series in a month or two. I'm doing a lot of research right now, but you know, it's very hard to do the Cabala, to do the occult by yourself. You really need to be taught the basic principles and to work with a group, right? To just learn by yourself, it will just confuse you, especially the Cabala. The Cabala is one of the craziest things you will ever learn. And they say a lot of these cabalists have schizophrenia.

I really appreciate it. Thank Thanks, Fred.

Okay. Dominique. Yes. Hello, professor. Before I start, could you write down for us also the reference to the other book that you Yeah, sure.

It's called The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides. Yeah. And again, all these books are free online or at the library.

Thank you. I have quite a few questions and I would like to start by having basically a discussion on the current situation in Europe.

Because we have a huge problem with immigration and a very big lack or decrease of cohesion between the nation itself and the population within the nations, and I'm in Switzerland so it's not as disastrous, let's say, as in the European Union, but just at the start of the month, for example, a bill was passed, a new law was passed, and now the supreme, let's call it court, but it's not really a supreme court, it's the law, basically the supreme law system in Switzerland now has to respond to the European Union to But it was created underneath as top to 10 million people.

And in order to do that, this was a consequence. So we see this basically in an exponential trend throughout Europe. How much hope do we have in the coming years? Because I believe this is kind of a natural phase which we have to go through. It's unfortunate we are in the middle of it but it's inevitable. Even those who oppose this trend are opposing a natural phase of history, I believe, but based on past patterns how do you see it going forward?

Yeah. So the trend in Europe is not very good and a lot of the issue is that you have this aloof bureaucracy in Brussels and they live in their own bubble, right? It's like Washington DC in America where they really don't care what the local people think, all they care about is, you know, what their friends and their colleagues think, and they're in a bubble. Okay, and these people in Brussels are committed to total war against Russia. They see Russia as the greatest threat to Russian civilization. They believe that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine and once Russia is defeated in Ukraine then peace and prosperity will come to Europe.

In which case you have like 10 trillion dollars, in which case you've solved all the problems of Europe. Right? Now you're able to finance the pension system. Now you're able to provide social welfare to a lot of people. So as long as the Europeans are willing to make these sacrifices, then Europe will win this war and save Western civilization. This is literally how they think.

Yeah, that's a really good question. Right. So a lot of these immigrants are military-age men. The problem is that it's very hard to get these men to go to war.

Yeah. As you were speaking I also thought, well, but there is also the fact that as the lifestyle keeps becoming in Europe always harder and harder and harder, exponentially, there is going to be a triggering point in which people will not be able to take it anymore, say, and we're going to have to see some violence in the streets.

Yeah. So sending away young men to fight your war for you is also a prevention from this happening.

Exactly. You're exactly right. So again, they're not planning for this, but when they're forced to choose between, you know, sending the men to die in a war or having them, you know, burn down your streets, go rioting, well, we'll send the men off to die in Ukraine. And unfortunately, the native population is going to be a lot less obedient than the immigrant population. Okay, so the immigrants are going to stay at home and not riot. The native people are going to riot, and so you send the native people to go die in war, not the immigrant population to go die in war.

But then, do we have, because you also said a war is made to destroy money.

So if we are going to basically escalate this war so much alongside all the other wars that are going to be around, basically when it's going to be over, let's say metaphorically speaking, the money is going to be destroyed, the AI system is going to be in place, the surveillance state. So there is no reason for people to revolt anymore. So it's like it has to go faster and faster and faster.

Yeah. I think this ends when the world is exhausted. Okay. So wars end when a certain faction of the men in your society have died off. So in World War I I think it was maybe 10% of the German population, the male population, were killed, and then the Germans could no longer sustain the war and so they had to sue for peace. So I think this war ends when there's political revolution in Europe, when these right-wing parties such as the AfD in Germany, Marine Le Pen's party in France, when they're able to assume power. But they can only assume power when there's a political revolution, because the bureaucrats in Brussels, they'll just cheat, they'll steal elections, they will do a lot to suppress these parties. Yes.

Is about the re-election of Trump.

You said that Trump is going to try to make a third term. Yes.

And potentially as a vice president. Now the objection is, well, the Constitution says that you cannot be elected. And you said, well, it doesn't say specifically, because it says exactly that it cannot be elected, but it's not an election for the vice president.

But as we know, as you said in an interview, they are part of the whole package. Like now we have Trump-Vance. So if they're part of the whole package, the vice president is elected alongside the president, meaning he cannot run alongside the president because it would be part of the Does it make sense?

Yeah. Okay. So I did some research, okay, and my analysis before was wrong. Okay. I said that the vice president was not elected and so that's a technicality, that's wrong. Okay. The Constitution, there's something called the 22nd Amendment. The 22nd Amendment is explicit and says that no one can be president for more than two terms. Okay, that's what the 22nd Amendment says. Then I believe there's something called the 12th Amendment. I could be wrong. Okay, let me just really quickly Google this.

Hi, Janice Armade in the Midwest of the States. And what I wanted to know is, what's one question you wish students would ask more that they almost never do?

Yeah. So I think that it's really important to hear the counterargument, right? So I made this argument. What's the counterargument? Right? What would someone else say and what's a counterpoint? And I think it's very important to have that debate. And you know, honestly, it's good for me because it makes me think a lot deeper, but students don't really do that. So yeah. Does that make sense, Janice? Did you have a follow-up question?

No, I didn't have a follow-up question, but did you say, or I didn't

The counter The counterpoint?

Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Okay, thank you.

Okay, thanks. Katria.

Hi, Professor Jiang. I have a question.

Sorry. Can you turn on your mic, please?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hi. I have a question about magic. You said that you would teach magic. Yeah.

Is that on applying?

Yes. Yes.

So if you, yeah.

Go. Sorry. Sorry. Go ahead.

Sorry. Sorry. Go ahead.

You said you don't know who you want to choose to teach. So if there is a standard, what is it?

Sorry. I'm sorry, but could you repeat the question? I didn't catch the question.

You said that you will teach magic. Is that true? Is that on your plan? Yes. Yes.

So that's the question.

Yeah. So I do plan to teach magic as part of the occult, and so I've been looking at, you know, Aleister Crowley, I've been looking at witchcraft, and to me it's very interesting what magic is. I think magic is an appreciation that we are all conscious beings. And the question is, how do you focus our conscious energy in a way that allows you to obtain a goal? And so the idea is that's what magic is, right? Magic is a mechanism for you to completely focus yourself on a goal that allows you to achieve it.

Okay. So does that make I just want to know, have you ever read a book about magic?

I have read so many, so I'm just wondering how you will teach that. Is this things about spirits or just things about Cabala? I just want to know more about Sure.

Sure. So again, I'm just doing research right now. Okay. But one book I've read that was very useful is on sex magic. So Aleister Crowley was a major proponent of sex magic. And so if you just go into the techniques of sex magic, right? So what do you do? Well, first of all, you have to train your body to engage in sex for a long time, right? So basically you want to go on for hours and hours of penetration, of ecstasy, without actually ejaculating, without actually having an orgasm.

Yeah. It's more like sex magic. It's more like the mysteries of aces.

What you said? Let me think of that book.

I will recommend The Secret Sex Life of Angels. That book is the things about sex magic you have talked about.

That's right. That's right.

Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. That's all I want to say.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much. Okay. So Ben.

Yes, hello, can you hear me?

Yes, go ahead.

Yeah, first of all thank you for taking the time. But yeah, maybe a bit of a broader political question. So what in your opinion would be the background factors that people become divided into opposing political groups? So I often notice and get the impression that people simply feel they have to be pro or anti something. So it just seems like the public narratives are framed so that there's only two possible sides. Especially, I don't know, if we focus on America, there's two major parties. So why in your opinion does this happen?

Right. Okay. So there's been a lot of social scientific research into political polarization. Okay. And so there are different factors. People align with a political party because of their allegiance to the community, right? So if you're born in a certain neighborhood and that neighborhood is Republican or Democratic, you're much more likely to share their political beliefs. Okay? So community is one very important factor. Another important factor is the decline in institutions of authority. Right? So if people no longer believe in the media, if people no longer believe in the government, if people no longer believe in science, in schools, then they're forced to rely on their tribalism, right?

Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, thank you. I see there's still a lot of other questions. So that's all for now. Thank you.

Thank you. John.

Hello. Very pleased to be with you all. My name is John Salasar. Thank you, Professor Jiang, for sharing your thoughts and your lectures. I'm now going through Dante's Divine Comedy, finding very, very refreshing, very useful all your lectures along yellow university in Beijing in order to understand further Dante's cosmology. I have a question regarding humanity's expansion into space. I watched all your lectures where you've expressed skepticism. I understand part of that may be as a natural evolution of your own cosmology, as you were alluding to at the start of this call, and I wanted to ask you whether you see the oceans as a more possible frontier for human civilization, particularly as there is massive untapped energy resources, for example over 80% of wind resource pinnacle wind resource lies from deeper waters and that's still to be untapped. We are commencing now to develop that in some countries such as China and some nations in Europe as well.

Right? Thanks so much, John. So, the idea of green tech or clean tech, right? Green tech, clean tech. Actually, these things aren't that clean, right? So you look at electric vehicles, which China just dominates. These batteries that they use cause a lot of pollution. So I'm in Beijing and there are several battery recycling facilities around Beijing and they release so many chemicals into the air. And electricity, it comes from coal, right? So these EVs are very, very dirty for the environment. And it's the same for, you know, these solar panels as well, because they rely a lot on rare earths and we know it costs a lot of pollution to mine rare earths, and that's why China dominates the rare earths market, because China is willing to bear the environmental cost of mining rare earths in a way that other nations are not, right?

Right. So, John, does that make sense or did you have a follow-up question?

Well, I would like to add, how about coming from the point of view of scarcity of resources? Even if we make society more sustainable, fossil fuels are still a limited resource and at some point that's coming to an end. So we can still have a more sustainable society that you're alluding to but relying on, in this case, energy. The sun is over there. The wind is generated as a consequence of the sun and it's a plentiful resource. That's the counterargument or the other angle I would put on the table for you to consider.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean hopefully this works. Hopefully renewable energy, clean tech, green tech provides a solution, but I'm not that optimistic. I think the world is too dependent on cheap energy, and right now the best place to access cheap energy is the Middle East. So I mean, again, I would love to be wrong, but I'm not that optimistic about green tech.

Much appreciated for your thoughts.

Thanks. Okay. Sean the Scribe. Sean the Scribe.

Hi, Sean.

Hey. It's Shannon, or Shan the Scribe.

Oh, okay. Hey, Shannon. Hey.

Hi. No worries. Greetings from San Diego. I had a couple of questions about some of your... Okay. So I had a question about something that's come up in the US recently. So I noticed that one of the things that Trump campaigned upon was student loan stuff and student loan forgiveness, which I was just like, that's not happening. But he's definitely getting elected based on that. And something that I noticed recently is that originally a lot of student loans were in forbearance, but because they cancelled some of the repayment plans, they were restarting the payments this year.

Yeah. I mean, I hate to be cynical but I think the people in charge, they're interested in stealing as much money as possible as quickly as possible. So the idea that they're actually going to use any money for maybe a national objective like winning the war in the Middle East, I think that is questionable. So recently Trump has earmarked $1.5 trillion to the Pentagon and people are like, wow, this means that America is going to remilitarize. No, it doesn't. What it means is a lot of this money is going to go to the swamp, right? It's been siphoned off by these military contractors. This is a reason why America is losing this war in the Middle East, because America's not that serious about winning the war. What the American elite wants to do is steal as much money as possible during the course of this war.

Hi, Shannon.

Okay, that does make sense to me.

Sorry, can you hear me?

Yeah. Yeah.

That does make sense to me. Something else that you talked about, in terms of the Constitution, I had a question about that because the last time I went to the bookstore, they actually had a little zine of the Constitution. It was like $2. And so I ended up buying it because of some of your lectures. And it does say technically in the 12th Amendment, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of the vice president of the United States." But I do think that what you're talking about, about him getting a third term, not in a main way because he can't technically be the president again, but I do think that there's some sneaky intention to somehow get the third term or get a lot of influence over whoever is going to be the next person.

I can see that.

Right? It'd be Obama-Trump in 2020.

This will be like the greatest political event in our lives.

The definition of an American politic.

Yeah. It'll be a complete circus. Okay. Obama-Trump. This is something that Trump would actually want because he actually thinks that he could defeat Obama in a general election. So again, I'm pretty confident Trump's getting a third term, and if he does run as vice president, the Democrats will put up Obama as the Right.

Because just because it's against the law doesn't mean he's not going to try, because it takes a long time for the bureaucracy to catch up with his actions. So he'll still maybe try it.

Yeah. So I would argue it's actually not against the law. It's not explicit in the Constitution that you cannot run as a VP. A lot of laws are just based on social convention. So if you just actually refuse to accept a social convention, you can get away with a lot. Okay. So what I tell people is, Trump running for a third term, it's crazy. It's dangerous. It's insane. It's wrong. But it's not illegal. So we'll see. But I think it's very likely he'll run for a third term.

Can I ask one more question?

Sure. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Okay. So I watched your Dante series and I really, really liked it.

But I had a question about unconditional love.

So that's something that was really prominent in the series. But do you have any advice for people who maybe didn't have unconditional love as a child, and maybe if you never experienced it? Yeah, you can experience love, but how do you know if you're able to produce unconditional love if you yourself never experienced unconditional Yeah, thank you so much for the question.

So I had a very traumatic childhood and I was convinced no one loved me, and that screwed me up for throughout my life because any relationship that I got into I self-sabotaged, and it really impacted my professional life in that, you know, I was fighting with my boss a lot and I didn't trust anyone. So I was really screwed up for most of my life, and then I met my wife, and my wife, you know, had unconditional love for me, and then we had children, and having children is what enabled unconditional love for me, and so I'm a changed person because of a family. But I also appreciate that I got very lucky, like I won the lottery of life.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Shannon. Okay. Moyak, sorry. Moyak.

Yes. Hello. My name is Muyak. Yes.

I had a question. We were talking a little bit earlier about the occult and all that stuff, but I had more a question about eschatology. Just as what we said before, you think it's good to teach children early on about Taoism, about all these different religions, but I think also I think that's very good to teach children that way to open up their mind, but I also think it can be really dangerous to teach children, because when you teach children that this is the truth and they grow up like that and then later on, at least if they're lucky, they find out that actually a lot of it's based on assumptions and fabrications, they would have a really difficult time to break out from this mentor framework.

And so my question is about eschatology. You talk a lot about eschatology but I have the feeling that you are talking about it more from an outside perspective.

Yeah. No, I think eschatology is really interesting and I could do an entire series on it. But I'll make certain points about eschatology. Okay. So I think first of all eschatology comes to us from a certain tradition, the Proto-Indo-European tradition, which then came to take over Europe, Iran and India. And so you look at East Asia, we are not eschatological at all, okay? And the reason why is that the Proto-Indo-Europeans believed the world started with violence, right? So you look at Proto-Indo-European mythology, it's always these brothers, these twins who kill each other in order to claim power, and this is embedded in much of European culture, right?

So I appreciate your perspectives but I was also curious, because you were saying, oh, these are like the elements, and I am seeing it, that eschatology is giving way to eschatology and they are using eschatology in the societies in their way of thinking, but I was also curious about your own experience in eschatology, because you're talking about being connected to the monad and all these things. What is your own perspective or feeling about, like, maybe a certain promise that has to be fulfilled or this kind of thing?

Okay. Well, I will say this. Whenever I was younger, I had many visions and these visions stayed with me throughout my life. And I saw wars and fires and destruction, you know, when I go to bed, I see airplanes, fighter jets just roaming the sky and causing all this destruction. I see the world burning. So I think these visions are presented to me because I feel compelled to act. I have three kids, right? So I need to act. I can't just, you know, sit back, and I need to prepare the world for a time of war and destruction.

I had a very small other second question. You were talking about having this plan of setting up schools, like educational institutions. You were also thinking about visiting Malaysia for this. I was curious about how this is developing and how you are thinking about setting this up and how would I, or maybe some others I know, be able to help in this endeavor, because we are thinking also about doing this but we need a lot more help and support in getting this Yeah.

So thanks a lot. I would like to set up schools around the world to promote new ideologies, a new education system, okay, that teaches basically game theory, the occult and the great books. And so what I want to do over the next year is visit different places like Japan, Malaysia, Europe, North America and figure out places and people that I can work with in order to promote these schools. But basically what I want to do is find young people such as yourself who are very motivated and who want to create a community to promote new ideas.

Right. Yeah. So I want to do a YouTube series on education reform and how to build great schools. And I want to use this as a theoretical framework for new schools of the future. Originally, I was supposed to go with Sneako to Malaysia last week, but it got cancelled because it was just too rushed. And so Sneako and I want to go to Malaysia together. We've already agreed to do that. We wanted to be as impactful as possible. So, you know, we're in touch and we will definitely visit you in Malaysia and then we'll definitely have conversations in private about how to promote schools in Malaysia.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Okay. Jonathan, hi Jonathan.

Hi. Can you guys hear me?

Yes. Yes.

Great. All right. Thanks a lot for this opportunity actually. Professor Jiang, thanks for organizing this. I was actually going to make a comment, but the previous commenter actually said something that really struck me. I was very interested in your alternative for your new education model. So, a little bit about myself. I'm coming at this from a different place. I'm a thoracic surgeon in Montreal. I work at McGill.

I'm an assistant professor and I have a lab. I do tumor immunology. And so I mean historically I'm sort of coming at the world from a very materialistic point of view, very reductionist point of view, and that's sort of how I got to where I am. But my last I would say a decade in practice and probably 20 years of cancer research have really changed my worldview.

And when I came across your videos they really struck me. So, you know, what do your work and my work sort of overlap in, have in common, that really struck me? And what's interesting is, correct me if I'm wrong, but when I interpret, you know, game theory and the predictions that you've made about the world as we live in it today, what I see is you're describing the world at scale, right?

Yes. And different rules apply to different scales. And one of the things that has really struck me about the natural world is that nature repeats over and over and over again. You know, we're fractal. You know, our biological system is fractal. So a lot of these macroeconomic and macro societal trends that you talk about are governed by the rules of game theory. And that has allowed you to make these very astute predictions and made you quite popular as a result. And I think this sort of systems thinking that you've put out into the world is huge.

I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed in many ways. And what I'm seeing is that we have a very reductionist view of the world. And What's relevant to me in my daily life, I treat cancer patients.

I do surgery for cancer and I see people struggle with this disease and I do research with cancer and I work with pharma and all these drugs and what I see is failure, right? I'm sure a lot of you in this group have been touched by cancer in some way, by your family, and it's devastating. And I think what's sorely lacking is this concept of open systems thinking. We have to stop thinking of ourselves as little machines.

No, thanks so much. Yeah. No, I really appreciate the comment and I mean, I'm really serious about promoting these schools because, as you point out, it's really important for people to look at the world from a macro perspective, and that's why I want to teach game theory.

I want to teach the occult. I want to teach the great books on top of other subject matters as well. And as to my approach, I think what's really important is for us to have these conversations, right? Because now I understand who you guys are and what your thinking is, and this helps me better create a much more concrete vision for these schools.

Thanks for the comment. I'll keep this brief because I want to let everyone continue to speak, but I would say, you said you want to educate, and honestly you've educated me in a lot of ways when I look at this application of systems thinking, and I've really come to appreciate this concept of, you know, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Right, that's sort of an adage that has existed for a long time and we just sort of say it, it's almost a cliche, right? But it's not. In reality, what you're describing, what I see when you describe things, is if you take nature or the state of whatever you are talking about right now as it stands today, the past, right, there's only a certain number of possible futures that are possible.

And you're describing it. And so, you know, I don't think you're getting lucky. You're describing a limited set of possibilities that exist if you understand the world as a complex system. And I think that's what you've done. And so I want to congratulate you and it's been very, very inspiring to somebody like me, and I've been able to apply that across my work, which I didn't think I would get to at this point. Right? It's a very reductionist point of view. It's a very conservative environment and it's very difficult to bring in, oddly enough, bringing new ideas into science is actually very difficult to do.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I'll reach out. I'm Miguel, so anytime. And I live in the house.

Thanks. Thanks so much. Jackson, Jason Tucker, are you here?

How's it going? I had a few questions to start. Sure.

I wanted to open the discussion to some dissenting opinions.

Not that I really hold any, but I want to know what are some significant events that could happen in the near future that would change your analytical Yeah.

Yeah. Great question.

Great question.

Great question. So if Trump were to die in office or if he were to resign or if he were to lose in 2028, this would change my model completely, because I see Trump as almost like a Julius Caesar figure who has been propelled by the current times to assume power. Okay. So if Trump were to die and Vance were to come to power, this would change my model completely. Okay, that's the first major test of the validity of my model. The second major test would be if Russia and Ukraine come to a peace, right?

So I would say these are the three big things so far. And I don't think any of these things are likely. I think Trump will get a third term. I think this war between Russia and Ukraine won't... will only escalate over time, and China would not invade Taiwan militarily.

Okay. And in these scenarios, although unlikely, is this a shift in your thinking? Do you have a different path forward in these scenarios or is it just open water at that point?

Yeah, great question. Okay. So if Trump were to die in office, then this would radically shift my model because right now I think I'm using a lot of occult theory in understanding geopolitics. And if Trump were to die in office, then I think the materialist viewpoint would be much more valid. And I think the world would be much more random than I assume it to be.

Awesome. And then another question I had is, we talk a lot about Plato's allegory of the cave and a collective consciousness, and you have mentioned in previous lectures that there are some sciences that are starting to lead in this direction, specifically neuroscience.

And I have a basic understanding of quantum theory or string theory. Do you think these are other physics that point to this conclusion as well? And what are your thoughts on that? I would not be surprised if in the next five years there's a major consensus emerging in mainstream science that says that, yeah, I mean Plato's allegory of the cave is completely right, that the world is what we imagine it to be, and you already have a minority within neuroscience which argues this point. Their argument is basically the universe is this simulation, it's a simulation, right, it's a projection of imagination. So I think this will be the economic consensus in a very short time, like maybe the next 5 to 10 years.

Yeah. Thank you. And then my last question, kind of connecting back to some other points where people are asking you for book recommendations. I think a lot of us are going through your lectures as well and I understand that these are all very deep and interconnected topics and I would like to explore them more deeply. Is there a point in the future where you'd be able to get a list of book recommendations that kind of follow your lectures so we can take our own dive into this material, or is it that you conduct mainly independent research on these topics?

Yeah. So if you go back to my civilization series, I list books as sources. And on my Substack, if you go back to an early Substack essay, I will have book, book Yeah.

I missed that. I apologize.

No, no worries. No worries. Yeah. Okay.

That's all I have.

Okay, great. Okay. Karina.

Thank you. Oh, and Cassie has the link to the reading list. So, yeah, in the chat. Okay.

Hi. Yes. Can you hear me?

Yes. Yes. Go ahead.

All right. Thank you for taking my question. I have been watching you for quite some time and I kind of got to this point of freezing from some of your videos. You talked about how Hollywood is kind of implicated in a lot of, I guess, the movies that they make, they kind of show or depict ideas that they want society to follow before things happen, as well as the government doing false flag events and stuff like that. And I remember in one video you talked about how, you know, one idea would be, if they really wanted to do something where all eyes were on it, it would be at the FIFA World Cup games because everyone's watching it.

Yes. That took control of a blimp

for a sporting event and basically wanted to blow it up above, like, 80,000 people watching, in the movie, at the Super Bowl.

And they were trying to, you know, kill the president and all these people, but they were saved by a partnering of Mossad and the FBI.

They were able to move the blimp and it exploded over the ocean. And the game was hosted at a Miami, Florida stadium. And I was looking up what games are happening in Miami, Florida, and there's actually one happening today at 5:00 pm and the finals are happening in the same stadium on the 18th. So that honestly kind of freaked me out because I was like, you This is a weird timing.

I don't know what was going on in 1977 when this movie was coming out, but to depict Palestinians as these, you know, a terrorist group and then to have the FBI and the Mossad be partners that save the day seems odd given our current standing, with, you know, they're trying to partner our militaries and everything. So it's just a very odd timing for it to just match up perfectly. Of course, I don't want this to happen, but I just wanted to get your ideas on how false flag events come to be and your thoughts on this plot.

Yeah, I know. So when I was making a comment about, you know, how the World Cup would be a perfect place to do a false flag, I was actually thinking of that movie. That movie I watched many years ago but it left a lasting impression because honestly it seemed pretty realistic. You know, if I wanted to create a false flag event and I really wanted to traumatize the population, well, a sporting event would be the ideal place because, as you point out, there's 80,000 people in a stadium and they're a captive audience, right? So if you were to set off a bomb at a sporting event, you could kill a lot of people.

Thank you for adding to that. I was trying to get other people's attention on this and it was so difficult. So thank you for having these meetings, because I needed to tell someone, and you provided a platform for me to be able to actually talk to someone about it. But I have a different question as well, completely different. I have been reading Dante's Divine And I did something that you said, that there's a lot of filters that really would help you understand the book more if you learn.

So I decided to try to learn Italian and I started transcribing line by line, and it helps because I know You know, line by line from Italian to English, because they have a Mandelbaum translation.

And I mean honestly, even on the first line, even if you don't know Italian, you just know Spanish, there's some words in there that don't really make any sense as to why it was translated that way. For example, on the first line where it says, you know, glory to thee, the one that moves all things and permeates, you know, his light. Permeates, that's the word that's given in English, but in Spanish and in Italian, penetra is penetrates.

It's a static word, so it's not dynamic. And when you do a lot of these translations from Italian to English you start to realize a lot of the words that Dante wanted to use are action words, they're verbs. He wants that to be the common theme, God is movement, God is action.

No, that's a great point, Karina. I mean, definitely Dante was a revolutionary. He was definitely a prophet. And he really believed that love is action, that if you really want to show faith in God, you have to take action in this world. And he really believed in social justice. So you're absolutely right. And I mean, each translation of Dante will be different, right? So I use the Mandelbaum translation because it was very accessible. It's just pretty easy to read. But there are better translations out there.

Thank you.

Okay. Cassie.

My pleasure. Can you hear me?

Yes. Yes.

Yes. So great, thank you for hosting the meeting and all the videos. So my question would be, would you actually believe debate would help us to open our perceptions? Because I think from my experience, I just moved here from Vietnam.

And the past year, I moved to, sorry, I moved to Michigan. So I'm in the US right now and the past year has been a very transformative year for me and I have to relearn a lot, because if you know Vietnam, it's pretty much like China in the way that we are very materialist and focus a lot on just getting a good grade and getting a good job and all of that. And I think that I'm trying to build everything from scratch again and try to rebuild my whole worldview again, and there are times when I try to share this with other people, or at least with my friends or people that I know now, but I think when we try to have a debate there are two reactions. One is that they just get very angry because they attack their own Or the second is that they have a cognitive dissonance so they just ignore it.

So I don't know how we are able to convey this kind of message or how to actually help conversations that have both participants open their worldview in that.

Yeah. I think it's very hard to convince people if they don't want to be convinced. But what I think is the world is changing very rapidly and people's understanding of the world is being challenged, right, because of global events. So I would say it's very important to keep on learning by yourself and eventually people are going to come to you and ask what's going on, and when they open their hearts, when they're ready to listen, and you speak, you'll have impact. But right now what's really important is to keep on learning by yourself and to really develop your own unique worldview.

I see. Yeah, I think that also speaks to my next question because in Dante we have that part in Paradiso. So talking about the Franciscans and the Dominicans, right, in the way that they also try to do something good. They want to go out and act. I think that is the spirit right now, that there's a lot of people who want to act but they also kind of see that the world around them is such that somehow all this good will just turn into bad things.

Somehow they're going to be tricked again and everybody just turns out to be one, they just want power again. So it feels very demotivating to actually act on it and you become kind of paralyzed in just trying to live by. So do you have any suggestions or advice on that?

Yeah, I think it's very important to take a long-term approach. So rather than be like, I want to impact the world today, I think it's very important to keep on learning, develop your own skills, try to get involved in the community, and when the time is right then people will naturally look to you for leadership and for advice. So I think it's very important to just keep the faith, to think long term, and be Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah. And sorry, it's just the last question, actually I want to ask about how you conduct your research in order to actually help, you know, learning by yourself, right, but there's a lot of resources out there and there are a lot of different opinions and all of that, and I want to ask how would I be able to, for example, any sources that you tend to gear toward, are there any particular persons or scholars or any places that you tend to gather resources from, to actually form a framework, to be able to actually advance your learning, not just try to run in a whole discourse about everything.

Yeah. So I try to be very wide in my research. So I like listening to the Jimmy Dore Show. I like listening to Tucker Carlson. I like listening to Kenneth Owens, because they will raise questions and topics that I'm not familiar with and this will encourage my own research. So people like David Icke, Kenneth Owens, they mentioned Son Frankus and so I'm just curious, who are these people, and start doing my own research. But it's really important to be as open-minded as possible and to engage with people who you disagree with and to really try to expand your comfort zone.

Okay. So thank you so much. That's my last question.

Okay. Andy. Andy.

Hi. Hi. Hello.

Yes. Can you hear me?

I can hear you fine.

Oh, lovely. Lovely. Thank you so much. I am on down to number six from your series that you launched two weeks ago, from your lectures, and I'm emotionally connected to it and I've been following your work for more than a year or so, and the Dante connection, the unconditional love, and I truly believe this is as you explained pretty well on lecture number six, that Dante connected you to faith in your journey, and I'm very confident to tell you that the same applied to me.

Thanks so much for that. Okay. Kevin.

Hi. Can you hear me? Okay.

Yes. Yes. Perfect.

Hi. Just a follow-up question about reading. Apologies to people who are good at English or English courses. I was never good at it myself, but when you read books, for example, let's say the words of Jacob Frank, it's a very dense, complex book. It's hard to get through, especially when you have other projects like work or studying. How do you dissect a book? How do you finish a book quickly so you can move on to other things and just take out key messages from that book instead of reading every single line, because I assume that's what you did instead of reading the whole entire book.

Yeah. So I read the whole book because I'm a very fast reader. I was an English major at Yale. So I've been reading books for my entire life and I'm a very good reader. I'm able to read something very complex like, you know, Jacob Frank's writings and figure out the main ideas and figure out what sections are really important, because that's what I was trying to do at a place like Yale. And I would just say, if you're just getting started it's very important to read it with other people, maybe form a book club where you are, and maybe teach it to others.

Thank you. Do you have any more questions, Kevin, or follow-up?

I guess just follow up, like I assume you stay away from other stuff out there already that's analyzed the work. Do you like to read it yourself originally before you do that?

Yeah. I mean, well, I'm a very good reader, so I'm able to just read it myself and figure out what's going on. But you're actually right in that, you know, if you're just starting off, it's actually pretty good to just read what the scholars say about the text. It's a very good overview. You might even want to talk to ChatGPT and just get a brief summary of the text.

Okay, thanks. AGM.

Yeah. Hi. How are you?

Just a quick one from my end. You've spoken about several eschatologies in your courses and in your videos that might or might not happen in the future. Among them, you know, is Russian eschatology, there's a Jewish eschatology with Pax Judaica, there's the Islamic eschatology with the Iranian, with Shia Islam. There's also the American technate as well. Are these zero-sum games in your point of view or can they happen generally at the same time or not?

Yeah, that's a great question and I think it's not zero-sum. I think it's perfectly possible to achieve all eschatologies, right? Because if you look at the major ones, America achieves a technate. Then you have Israel achieving Pax Judaica, the Greater Israel project. Russia achieves the Third Rome prophecy. And then Iran achieves its eschatology, which is basically Pax Islamica, and these things are not actually in conflict with each other. They can coexist at the same time. And what I will say is that maybe in the future you have many different systems existing in parallel with each other.

I see. And just a quick follow-up with that. When you're taking a look at the macro, and then in some of the lectures that you have you also talk about the micro, like to just introduce yourself to your neighbors, etc., etc., and just to take those steps to kind of get ready for what's to come. It's the kind of link, or the stretch to take from the micro to the macro.

So you always want to solve the macro because the macro gives you the framework, right? And the micro is just specific instances that confirm the macro. So, you know, it's very important to have a conceptual theory of the world and then build on top of that.

I see. All right. Thank you very much.

Okay. So we have five more people and then it's getting pretty late where I am. So we'll end the stream. Okay. So, Leandro, did you have a question or a comment?

Yes, I have quite a few questions now actually that I've thought about. I want to start with more of a debate, of a topic that I'm unsure of, because you talked in one of your very early lectures on the dawn of civilization basically, and there you said that before the people from the steppe invaded kind of Europe and Asia, these parts were all peaceful and egalitarian.

So that's a great point and what I will say is the history of humanity is very, very incomplete. And the idea is that our brains have been like this for the past 300,000 years. Okay? 300,000 years. Yet we only have like 10, 12,000 years of recorded human history. So what were we doing before we had recorded history, right? So it's very hard for me to imagine we were doing nothing before, you know, 12,000 years ago when civilizations just started off in Göbekli Tepe.

So it's environmental basically. It's not within us, but the environment forces us then to be I think so.

Yeah, I think so. That's what I would argue.

Okay.

Okay. So it's really, first of all, that the history is just unclear enough to really fill in all the gaps of our And that if we humans existed in a vacuum, then we wouldn't be so violent, because there would be no emotions that the environment would trigger in us basically.

Okay, that makes a little more sense. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. So I think over the next 20 years there's going to be a reworking of primitive human history. I think there'll be a lot of research, a lot of new discoveries that challenge the traditional framework that we have.

Yeah. And I also have just two really quick questions as well on reading again. And that is, how much time do you spend reading a day, currently or in the past? And how often do you reread something, if you want to refresh your mind, or if you want to look at something from a new perspective, how do you go on? And this can also be applied to not just reading on, for example, history or religious stuff but also geopolitical research, all kinds basically.

Yeah. So I try to do one or two hours a day and it's really good practice and I'm blessed with a really strong memory so I usually remember what I read. So when I do reread things, it's because I need certain passages to teach a class. And so I'm going to reread it in order to find a passage I need in order to teach a class.

Okay. And in the past, did you also stick to this one to two hours or has it been more?

This is the best way to build your brain. Just do one or two hours of reading a day and I guarantee you your brain is going to really expand if you do this over, you know, 10, 20 years.

And then do you also focus on one book for those one to two hours or do you also read two or three things at the same time when No, you want to keep focus on one book, yeah.

Okay, thank you very much.

Thanks. I don't want to take too much time.

Yeah, so Shanu has a question, right? She's kind of shy, so I'll read her question for everyone. She asks, "Can you speak more about education reform and what are some resources to learn more about it?" So I can go on for hours and hours about education reform, but basically my main concern about schools now is that they sap or they destroy students' intrinsic love of learning. So students are naturally curious, they're naturally motivated to learn for themselves. But because teachers are trying to implement a curriculum and they're trying to make students take tests, it's very easy for students to lose focus and to drop out, become demotivated.

Yeah. So, did you have another comment or question?

Oh, I apologize. My hand has been Okay.

All right. Sorry. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Pedran.

Hey, professor. Thank you. I know it's almost midnight over there in Beijing, so thanks for your time. I wanted to ask you a question and just have you help me navigate, I guess, if you were in my position, how you would maybe respond to questions like this. So I was born in Iran. I'm currently in the Los Angeles area. So when you're in LA, let me know. Would love to meet up.

Absolutely. And one thing I struggle with is I would say probably the biggest portion of the Iranian diaspora is in Southern California and other parts of America, but Southern California specifically. And I have a tough time with most of my peers, especially my age range, cheering for the bombings, let's say, and other things like that. So I guess how do you navigate the mixed eschatology in Iran? Meaning I have friends who are like, "Hey, 4,000 years ago it was Aryan and then it was Zoroastrianism and then it's, you know, Shia Islam." Is it cynical to ask, like, what is Iran or any country?

Yeah, I would just say the world is what you make of it. If you really believe in your vision, you have to think long term. You have to spend 50 years, 100 years to achieve your vision. And those who are going to work hard, those who are willing to fight and sacrifice their lives to achieve their vision will do so. So the people in power anywhere in the world are there because they're willing to die for what they believe in. They're willing to do whatever it takes to obtain the power.

Absolutely beautiful. And if I could just have a follow-up question, thank you for that. How imminent do you think, based on this current game theory view, right, assuming nothing crazy changes, right, and it kind of stays its course, how imminent is a civil war in Bahrain, which would

in a way kind of expand the proxy of Iran?

How does that look? I think Bahrain is a country that most people don't think about. If you go ask 100 people, they might not even know where it is on a map.

What do you think about that?

Yeah. No, you're absolutely right. So Bahrain is a powder keg because it's majority Shia and it's ruled by a Sunni minority. So the people are very sympathetic towards Iranians and the leadership, the elite, are extremely corrupt and very unpopular. So you're absolutely right in that a civil war will break out sooner or later. I can't tell you the time frame because America and Israel can still, you know, suppress the people if a civil war breaks out, but I think that once America sends ground troops into Iran, then all bets are off, then I think the entire region may burn.

False flag. Thank you.

Yeah. Yeah. Fred, then Dominic.

Yes. Question here kind of goes similar with Hannibal there, with what we're kind of seeing on the surveillance side happening in Kenya. You know, you've touched briefly on Peter Thiel as well and kind of what he's doing there in Argentina and I was wondering if you could kind of go into a little bit of the context that he's trying to create there based on what you've seen so far.

Yeah. So I don't know about Argentina but I know Peter Thiel wants to create the network state, right? So basically, the way he thinks, he's very strategic, you know, he's like, I made all this money but how do I translate this money into power, into long-term power? Well, basically I need to create my own society and have people treat me as a god, right? And I need AI surveillance in order to control the people. And so he needs to figure out where in the world he can actually implement this vision.

That's exactly right. And also Australia is a possibility as well, right? So, you know, Peter Thiel is a very flexible guy. Okay. Dominic.

Yes. I quickly have just a couple of questions that are more occult. And we have seen that, you know, I don't remember in which one of the latest lectures in game theory you said that with AI and all these new technologies they are trying to summon demons and they specifically, explicitly declared it, not even tried to keep it hidden, and there are all these things going on. So we have always referred to these beings like gods, demons, angels as external beings. But in your opinion, how much chance is there that instead these are structures within our consciousness, or how can I put it, like interfaces through which our consciousness encounters maybe realities that otherwise on its own could not Yeah.

No, I agree with that. And if you look at people on psychedelics, they say the same thing where, you know, on psychedelics, their minds open, they encounter all these demons and angels they wouldn't have before. And depending on the psychedelic, you encounter the same demons and angels. So I would say that our minds, our consciousness, are connected to infinite dimensions and within these infinite dimensions are all sorts of these different beings. So they all exist within us and it's really a matter of tapping our consciousness in a certain way that connects us to a certain demon or angel.

Why are there basically discrepancies but no differences, but it's almost like it's one.

Yeah. Yeah. No. I mean, I will go into this in greater detail in the occult series. The idea is game theory, right, where society eventually reaches a point where it's a critical mass, there's a lot of people, and the elite become parasites on the people, and so the elite, how do they maintain control over the population and how do they maintain internal unity and how do they access secrets? Well, they do it through the occult, right? They do it through rituals. They do it through child sacrifice.

Because this is the most effective way to do it, because if you want to rule for a long time, then you just have to use a system.

All right. Awesome. Thank you.

Thank you so much. So, I will answer Shanu's question and we'll call it for this first session. Okay. So thanks so much, everyone, for participating. It's been great. Okay. So Shanu asks, "What are some things I can do to help find my purpose and help others find theirs?" So I would just say teach. Teaching is the most beautiful thing you can give to the world. So, you know, if you have time, go volunteer at a kindergarten, go volunteer at a Sunday school, go volunteer anywhere, you know, and just teach and be with kids and share yourself with others.

Thank you so much. Okay. Bye. Bye. Thank you, professor. Have a good one.
