Germany just watched Whatifalthist’s prediction of the future and is now invading the Balkans before the Turks can to avoid another 1529 situation

Scientists often wonder why we haven’t come across life forms from other plants given statistically how common life should be and how much of the universe we’ve seen, I wonder if that’s because intelligent life is so inherently competitive and self destructive that they destroy themselves before they can become space-farring. Maybe that’s the destiny of all intelligent life, including humanity.

Even if we do find alien life how likley is it that we will understand what we found. I think about how similar silicon baised life could be to robots and since we havent found silicon baised life when we do its possible we would just call them robots. Thats just one exsample with tech we understand let alone a alien civ 20 times more advanced than us operating in ways we wouldnt even notice.

He mentioned Peter Zeihan by name in his recent video dump so I imagine this train is on that track now.

Rudyard passed Vaush in subscribers, (407K vs 404K) and there’s no sign of that changing, the fans have spoken.

Why did we all have to be born in the 90s we could have all been born in the Middle Ages and made a kickass knight friend group

Would we have all been born close enough to each other to do this in an era where your friend circle is extremely constrained by geography?

Would the US Navy be willing to completely embargo China in the case of a war? Would our government risk the economic damage for the sake of hurting China and defending our Allies?

Not while the democrats are in charge, but in general I think if it comes down to us losing our position and our prestige, then certainly america would do that

Thoughts on the current stock market drop? What does it mean?

Horrifying recession > hyper inflation

Stock prices were very high because 0% interest rates meant that there was no opportunity cost to waiting years for a big payoff. Now the opportunity cost is significant AND the looming dislocations from food and energy shortages globally and going to screw up profit margins for several years. Prepare for more pain.

Who knows, might lead to the depression WIAH talked about. While resource prices might be bad in the US, they're much worse in the rest of the world. I think the global effects will wash back up on our shores

Basically. The Fed raising interests is gonna be a massive hit to the economy, but at least price levels will stabilize.

Bev Bevan

Prices are rising globally, which means the Fed can't really stop it. So, they'll do enough to cause a brief recession, then pull back and say they tried.

Rudyard will you publish and sell your history of the world book separately once you complete it? When do you expect to complete it and how long will the book be?
