1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,240 We have 7 more classes left in the semester and what I want to 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:12,000 do in this last seven classes is look at the game theory of World 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,120 War Three. OK, So what I want to do this 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:23,560 class is just introduce the chess board or the players and 5 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,360 how the game we played over the next 5 to 10 years. 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,800 So the two major players in World War three are the United 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:43,880 States and Russia. And right now they are fighting 8 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:52,160 a proxy war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, where 9 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,480 the United States obviously supports Israel, Russia supports 10 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,640 Iran. And what's going to happen is 11 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,239 that this war in the Middle East, it's going to spread out 12 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:08,640 and then it will engulf the entire world. 13 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000 OK. So what I want to do today is 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,240 look at the individual players, USA, Israel, Iran and Russia and 15 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,720 explain to you who they are and how they will play this game. 16 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,480 And so, and once you understand their strategy, then it's going 17 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,680 to be pretty easy for us to make certain predictions about how 18 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,880 they will behave. So that's the first thing that I 19 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,840 want to point out. The other thing that I'll point 20 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,240 out is that there's a lot of people who believe that peace 21 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,320 can be achieved, that this war is a temporary thing, and that 22 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,720 once Donald Trump leaves office, once the United States divorces 23 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,800 Israel, then peace will come to the world. 24 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,520 And that's not true because on one hand, what's driving this 25 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,160 World War 3 is a conflict between these Four Nations. 26 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,400 But on the other hand, the other force that's driving this 27 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,720 conflict is the internal tensions within these countries. 28 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,520 So before we looked at the idea of elite over overproduction. 29 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,240 And so the idea is that the elite are parasites that collect 30 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:39,640 rent from the people. And so ever who's an elite can 31 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,720 exploit other people. So there's competition to to 32 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120 join the elite and we have too many people who are trying to 33 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440 join the elite. This creates internal conflict, 34 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440 and this is what's happening throughout the world today. 35 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,160 So World War Three, it's not just being driven by the 36 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,560 disparities between these Four Nations. 37 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,520 It's really being driven by internal politics within these 38 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040 countries. OK, so, so let me put this in a 39 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,760 versatile way. Right now, the people who run 40 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,280 the world are transnational capital. 41 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,200 OK. And a versatile way of saying 42 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,480 this is that if you're a rich person in Russia, you're 43 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,840 incentivized to work with rich people in Iran, Israel and the 44 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,480 United States. And as a result, for the longest 45 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,240 time, we've been able to achieve global peace and prosperity. 46 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,280 But because they only get richer and richer, more powerful, this 47 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,160 causes resentment among other elite forces in these countries. 48 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,600 And so there are three major forces that oppose transnational 49 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,640 capital within these four countries. 50 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,880 OK, so let's just list them. The first is, of course, 51 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:18,040 nationalism, right? There are people like Donald 52 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,040 Trump and Vladimir Putin who believe that it's important to 53 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,800 put their nation first, that globalism is hurting their own 54 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,840 people and their own nation. OK? 55 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,760 That's what's 1 force that opposes transnational capital. 56 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Another force that opposes transnational capital is 57 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,120 religion or orthodoxy. OK, Why? 58 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Because capital believes that money is God, it is godless, it 59 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,720 is secular, and it tries to create a multicultural secular 60 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,640 society in order to allow capital to pass through the 61 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200 society easily. OK. 62 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,880 That also allows capital control and dominant society. 63 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,160 So religion is opposed to national, national capital as 64 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,840 well. And the last force that's 65 00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,760 opposed to national capital is artificial intelligence. 66 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,880 OK, AI. Why? 67 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:30,880 Because right now, money is what structures society, and 68 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,600 artificial intelligence wants to replace money as a force that 69 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,360 structures and centers society. OK. 70 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,480 So in other words, what's happening is that there's a 71 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,280 civil war going on in the world where right now transnational 72 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:49,360 capital is dominant and trinational capital is 73 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,840 represented by Wall Street and City of London. 74 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,240 And there are these three forces, nationalism, religion 75 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960 and technology, that oppose trinational capital. 76 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,360 And so what's going to happen over time is that they will form 77 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,640 an alliance to defeat trinational capital, OK? 78 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,800 And so this is already happening in America where these three 79 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,760 forces come together and they support Donald Trump. 80 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:27,000 And So what drives a lot of Donald Trump's policies is to 81 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,080 help his alliance ultimately defeat transnational capital, 82 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,960 OK. And something that we'll discuss 83 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:41,280 for the rest of the semester. So another thing that I'll point 84 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:48,240 out is this, OK, internally there is a civil war going on, 85 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,200 but externally as well, there are forces that drive these 86 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,320 nations to war and it and this is basically environmental 87 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:09,560 collapse. So for the past few decades, we 88 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,160 humans have been very lucky in that there have been no major 89 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,840 ecological disasters. But if you look at human 90 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,840 history, weather patterns fluctuate. 91 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,240 OK, so many speculate that we are heading towards a time of 92 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,520 extreme weather patterns. That means that it becomes 93 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,520 harder to go food. It means it's harder to access 94 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,560 energy. And so this is going to put 95 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,200 strain on the world. And so the world needs to 96 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,080 compete for precious resources. And quite honestly, we are going 97 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:54,040 to probably approach a time in human history when famine, it 98 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,840 will be much more common. We thought that we defeated 99 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,960 famine. We thought that we had developed 100 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,920 a system that could feed anyone and everyone, but over the next 101 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,880 few years we'll discover an increase in famine around the 102 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240 world and an increase in ecological disasters around the 103 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,200 world. OK, so this is the schematic 104 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,000 that I want you to understand. In World War three there will be 105 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,200 4 major players, United States, Israel, Iran and Russia, and 106 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,000 they are competing for global dominance. 107 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 No one will win, but the conflict among these Four 108 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,919 Nations will drive fuel politics for the next 5 to 10 years. 109 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:41,400 This conflict is driven not just by disputes among these 110 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:47,320 countries, it's mainly driven by internal civil discord within 111 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,520 these countries. The two forces are the Tri 112 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,440 national capital versus a coalition of nationalist, 113 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,680 religious, religious people as well as tech people. 114 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,000 OK. And they have their champion. 115 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,800 So in America, they have Trump national capital is represented 116 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280 by Carney, Mark Carney. We'll talk more about him later. 117 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,040 OK Mark Carney is currently the Prime Minister of Canada. 118 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,320 OK. So there are different 119 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,440 champions, and they're going to fight this, this war. 120 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720 Now, one question that you're going to have, which is the most 121 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,880 obvious question, is, yeah, but what about everyone else, right. 122 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,720 What about China? What about India? 123 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,040 What about Brazil? What about South Africa? 124 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,720 OK, and yes, it is true. Oh, sorry. 125 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,120 And what about Europe and and Japan, Right. 126 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:55,160 And then South Korea. And while it is true that these 127 00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,320 are major economies with a lot of people, and it is true that 128 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,160 they could, in theory, have great militaries, I will show 129 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,160 you that what makes these Four Nations distinct, USA, Israel, 130 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,400 Iran and Russia, what makes them distinct is that they have a 131 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:20,040 grand strategy that allows them to mobilize the population for 132 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,920 Total War. And that's what makes them 133 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,280 distinct. OK, And I'll show you this later 134 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,920 on. All right, All right, So let me 135 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,760 explain to you how this dynamic will play out. 136 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Actually, we have US, a Russia, Iran, Israel, OK, So a major 137 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:53,560 players that will determine how these four player games are of 138 00:10:53,560 --> 00:11:04,920 course, Europe, China, Japan, India. 139 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:14,800 OK, All right. So I understand that a lot of 140 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,320 people believe that China and the United States are in 141 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,200 competition with each other. That is not true. 142 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,960 And the reason why is that China does not have what we call a 143 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,720 grand strategy. A grand strategy is just how you 144 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,680 perceived your politics and how you want to dominate your 145 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,600 politics. China does not do grand 146 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,960 strategy. China is called Jungwa, OK. 147 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,000 Jungwa means the Middle Kingdom. The idea of the Middle Kingdom 148 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,680 is that we are a universe on to ourselves. 149 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,040 We don't care what happens outside of this universe. 150 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,560 We would like others to pay tribute to our cultural 151 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:09,280 superiority and we could help develop your other 152 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000 civilizations, but honestly we don't care. 153 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:22,200 OK so China has always been an isolationist society for most of 154 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,440 its history. Today, yes, I understand. 155 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,400 For these past few decades, China has become much more 156 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,320 globalized, has become much more international, much more 157 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,240 cosmopolitan. But this is not part of the 158 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,360 Chinese tradition. So what's happening today, these 159 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,120 past few decades, it is an aberration. 160 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,160 It goes against cultural norms in China. 161 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,160 But in the long term, China will return to its cultural norms and 162 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,200 become much more isolationist. So we don't. 163 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,320 So China doesn't really matter in the great scheme of things. 164 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,920 OK, The same is true for India as well, right? 165 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,040 So I know India and China have have a lot of people, but 166 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,400 historically they have not really mattered in geopolitics. 167 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,720 And that's to do with their cultural values and norms. 168 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:17,160 OK, does that make sense? All right, so there are right 169 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:23,360 now three major battlefields in the world, OK? 170 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:29,560 The first, obviously, is Ukraine, where NATO and Russia 171 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,600 are fighting each other, OK? And this is a proxy war between 172 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,480 United States and Russia because United States controls Europe 173 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,640 and NATO. The second major battlefield, of 174 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,960 course, is Iran, where right now the United States and Israel is 175 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,120 attacking Iran and trying to force it into a surrender. 176 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:55,080 Now the last battlefield is actually in North America, Cuba. 177 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,360 OK, so this is not really discussed a lot. 178 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,360 What's been happening in the United States has been 179 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,480 embargoing Cuba, trying to blockade it, trying to 'cause 180 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,320 decided to collapse, and Russia has been trying to save Cuba. 181 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,320 OK? So these are the three major 182 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,520 battlefronts we're seeing right now. 183 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080 Obviously, what's going to happen is that more battlefronts 184 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:27,440 will break out, OK? And what's going to happen is 185 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:33,040 that as this conflict increases, the COP between the United 186 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840 States and Russia will increase as well. 187 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,720 So one major area of contention is the oceans. 188 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,760 OK, Why? Because United States believes 189 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,720 that it controls all trade access because the oceans 190 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,880 represent trade access. And So what the United States 191 00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,280 has been doing has is it has been seizing Russian shadow 192 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560 fleet tankers. And so what's going to happen is 193 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,240 that the Russians will eventually decide to arm its 194 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,920 ships, and this will create a war in the oceans. 195 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,720 OK. So that's one trend that we will 196 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360 see happening. Another trend that we'll see 197 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:21,240 happening is the rise of Germany and Japan. 198 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960 OK. Hey, why? 199 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,920 Well, historically, the most powerful nation in Europe has 200 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,880 been Germany. Historically, the most powerful 201 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,960 nation in East Asia has been Japan. the United States 202 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:44,680 defeated both in World War 2 and But now that the United States 203 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,160 is at war of Russia, it needs proxies in its allies to counter 204 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,800 both the threat of Russia as well as China. 205 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,640 So it makes sense that what the United States is going to do is 206 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,480 it's going to arm Israel to counter Iran. 207 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,320 It's going to arm Germany to counter Russia, It's going to 208 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080 arm Japan to counter China. OK. 209 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:15,520 And what's going to happen now is that you have new in this 210 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:22,520 conflict, you have other players emerge that will take advantage 211 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,760 of these conflicts to amass more power for themselves. 212 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:35,960 So think about North Korea in East Asia, OK, Because North 213 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,520 Korea, it's a military society, and it can threaten South Korea, 214 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Japan and China, OK. Then in Europe, you have Poland. 215 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640 In the Middle East, you have Turkia. 216 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,840 OK, So these nations are going to try to navigate all this 217 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,240 chaos in order to amass more power from themselves. 218 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,880 So in other words, what's going to happen is complete chaos in 219 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,640 World War Three and something that we'll discuss more 220 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,720 concretely for the rest of the semester, right? 221 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,440 So now what I'm going to do now is explain to you the grand 222 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,640 strategy of the United States, Russia, Iran and Israel, because 223 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,000 these are only the four major players for the first five 224 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,920 years. Other players will come in later 225 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240 on, but for now, these are the four major players, OK? 226 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600 And once you understand the grand strategy, all these four 227 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,840 countries, then it's going to be pretty easy for us to predict 228 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,360 how they will behave as this war progresses. 229 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,840 All right. OK, So for each country, I want 230 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,440 you to imagine each country as a chess set. 231 00:17:53,480 --> 00:18:02,560 OK, so this is a chess set and I want to show you how each player 232 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:09,520 behaves using this chess set as as a template, as a frame frame 233 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,120 of reference. OK, so the king is the political 234 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:20,520 system. All right, so the first idea to 235 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,840 understand is that when you fight a war, you're not trying 236 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,240 to defeat the other persons. Any military doesn't really get 237 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,200 you any war. What you're really trying to do 238 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,520 is you're trying to put your opponent in check by attacking 239 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240 the political system. All right, And I'll show you how 240 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,280 later on. OK, so the king is political 241 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,360 system, the queen is the grand strategy. 242 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,680 The grand strategy is again how each player perceives 243 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,480 geopolitics and how to best dominate geopolitics. 244 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,760 OK, and then you have the Bishop, the knight, and the 245 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,080 Rook, and this are the attack vectors. 246 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:10,720 The attack vectors are your mechanisms, your tools for 247 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,920 achieving your grand strategy, right? 248 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,080 And now you have the pawn and the pawn are just that. 249 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:26,720 They are sacrificial tools that you can use in order to advance 250 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,160 your grand strategy, OK? You just fold them away. 251 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,000 You don't really care. OK, Does that make sense? 252 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,280 All right, so now let's apply this system to the four nation 253 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,720 states, United States, Russia, Iran and Israel. 254 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:48,760 All right? OK, so the United States, the 255 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:57,760 public system, of course, is a democracy, and this is both good 256 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,480 and bad. OK, It's good. 257 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,480 And that allows for innovation. It allows for debate and 258 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,680 openness. And creativity, okay, so that's 259 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,720 what's good about democracy. What's bad about democracy is 260 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:20,680 the idea of polarization, okay? Polarization, okay. 261 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,840 Why? Because in a democracy, you have 262 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,400 different political parties, and they can reach a point where 263 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,720 they just refuse to work together and all they care about 264 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,800 is destroying each other, regardless of the consequences 265 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,760 for the nation. In geopolitics, this is what's 266 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,440 happened in the United States so far right now. 267 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,680 Where in America Trump hates the Democrats much more than he 268 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,560 hates the Russians or the Chinese or the Iranians. 269 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,880 OK, All right. So the way you put America into 270 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,760 check is by enhancing the polarization and causing a civil 271 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,600 war. OK, does that make sense? 272 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,640 You cannot defeat America militarily. 273 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,640 It is impossible to do so. The only way to defeat America 274 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,560 is if you force it into a civil war that distracts it from the 275 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,600 world. OK, so that is the American 276 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,480 political system. Name the grand strategy. 277 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:25,720 The grand strategy is called Greater North America and the 278 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,880 idea of Greater North America is North America by itself. 279 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,360 It's a self-sufficient continental fortress. 280 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,840 No one can invade it, no one attacked it, and that's all the 281 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,040 resources it needs to survive. So all America has to do is 282 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:47,560 unite North America and then cause chaos around the world. 283 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:55,800 OK, So what the trick is how to create unity in greater North 284 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,800 America. And the theory that they use is 285 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,920 something called the technique, right? 286 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,840 And the idea of the technique is a democracy is inherently 287 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,160 volatile and unstable. You're better off transitioning 288 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,360 democracy into a technocracy ruled by the experts and ruled 289 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,680 by AI, OK? So basically try to create an AI 290 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,680 surveillance state, which is happening, what's happening in 291 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,560 America right now. OK, Something that we'll discuss 292 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,200 in greater detail next week. All right, so now we go to the 293 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,120 attack vectors of America. What are their tools and 294 00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,520 instruments in order to achieve the grand strategy? 295 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,840 Well, the first major tool is just a technology, OK, meaning 296 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:44,600 that America has GPS satellites, it has precision weapons, it has 297 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:48,080 the best Air Force in the world, it has aerial supremacy. 298 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,560 OK, so technology is a very important tool. 299 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:59,160 Then you have a propaganda. Propaganda is basically America 300 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,560 controls the world's most powerful media systems, 301 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,840 including New York Times, including CNN, and therefore it 302 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,200 can control the narrative of the world. 303 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,440 The last is the US dollar. OK, the US dollar is the world's 304 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,120 global reserve currency and therefore America has unlimited 305 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:27,480 financing. All right, so as you can see, 306 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,120 America is a very powerful empire. 307 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,600 Now we go to the pawns, OK, sacrificial tools. 308 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,200 And So what Americans can sacrifice in order to achieve 309 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,400 its grand strategy or its allies, which are essentially 310 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,320 it's it's vassals. All right, so that is the 311 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,080 American system right now. We can, we can understand how 312 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,320 America will fight this war in Iran and how it will proceed to 313 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,120 fight World War Three because grand strategy, it's just not 314 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:10,800 only how a nation will go out to dominate the world, but it's 315 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,800 also constraint on their behaviour. 316 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,040 They can only operate within the contours of their grand 317 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,920 strategy. OK, any questions so far? 318 00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:28,040 OK, all right, so let us look over the technique of America. 319 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,960 So there's something that post in 1930s and something that is 320 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,480 being implemented right now in America by the tech Bros, people 321 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,520 like Larry Ellison, St. Albman, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk. 322 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,400 The idea, of course, is to is to unite all of North America 323 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,680 together in something called a technate, OK. 324 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,400 The technate is basically a force. 325 00:24:53,320 --> 00:25:02,400 A force, sorry. The technate is basically this 326 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,120 means an AI surveillance state, OK. 327 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,680 And this allows for cohesion and control. 328 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,560 And once that's achieved, then North America becomes invincible 329 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,040 and it can create as much chaos as it wants throughout the 330 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,840 world. The goal is to create chaos so 331 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:31,280 that the world depends on you for weapons and resources and 332 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,640 financing. OK. 333 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,960 And the idea is if the other world, if the entire world is 334 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520 forced to buy weapons and resources from you and you can 335 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,200 lend money to them to do that, then you get rid of the $39 336 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,360 trillion debt, OK, So I'm not saying that this strategy will 337 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:59,440 work, but I'm saying this is how they approach it all right. 338 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,280 Now, something that is really important for us to understand 339 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:11,680 is that a grand strategy, it is based on a culture of your 340 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,840 society. OK, great strategy is not 341 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,040 something that you just make up. Grand strategy is an expression, 342 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,440 a manifestation of your public system and your cultural system. 343 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,160 And we can understand the cultural system through the 344 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,640 books that are read in society. OK, so this is Western 345 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,480 Civilization right here. So these are four representative 346 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,920 books of Anglo American civilization. 347 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,040 The 1st is Paradise Lost by John Milton. 348 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,560 OK and Paradise Lost is very important because it celebrates 349 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:58,600 individual achievement. So Paradise Lost is about why 350 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:05,440 Adam and Eve disobeyed God. And the argument of paradise 351 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,440 laws is that Adam and Eve disobeyed God because they 352 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,600 wanted godhood. OK, They it means of their 353 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,920 pride. And the thing about paradise 354 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,240 laws is that when you read it, and we'll read a part of it 355 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,000 together, you recognize that pride is a good thing because it 356 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,560 allows us to approach godhood, OK? 357 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,480 So it's not bad to want to be God. 358 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,960 In fact, it's a good thing because it's what allows for 359 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,680 progress. And Hamlet by Shakespeare is a 360 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,920 book that celebrates individuality, individual 361 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:55,760 reflection. Gurdas Thoss is a book in which 362 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,040 a scholar but name of Faust, he makes a deal with the devil 363 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,200 because he has an insatiable appetite for knowledge. 364 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,680 And that's a good thing, OK? He's trying to achieve God in 365 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,760 himself. And this idea of Faustian, so 366 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,200 Western civilization, especially angle American civilization, is 367 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,360 fundamentally Faustian. It's always about achievement 368 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:24,640 and it's insatiable achievement. And the the last book I want to 369 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,200 emphasize is A Founding Head by Anne Rand, which celebrates 370 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,160 individualism. Individualism, OK, It celebrates 371 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:39,640 individual achievement. So to get a sense of the essence 372 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,680 of Anglo American culture, I'm going to read to you a passage 373 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,800 from Paradise Lost. And this is where Satan, 374 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,600 disguised as a snake, is trying to convince Eve to eat the fruit 375 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,080 from the tree of of knowledge. Okay, and this is his argument 376 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,720 to to her. Why then was this forbid? 377 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,760 Why did God tell you not to eat from the tree of knowledge? 378 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,800 Why put to all? Why, but to keep ye low and 379 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400 ignorant His worshipper? He knows that in the day ye 380 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,400 thereof your eyes that seem so clear, yet are but dim, shall 381 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,760 perfectly be then open and cleared, and ye shall be as God, 382 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,440 knowing both good and evil as they know. 383 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:33,800 OK so This is why God refuses to let us eat the fruit from the 384 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,440 tree of knowledge of good and evil, because if we can learn 385 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:44,080 for ourselves, we can be like God and God created us to be his 386 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:49,200 slaves and his servants. Okay that ye shall be as God, 387 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,600 since I as man internal man is but a proportion meat. 388 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,200 I have put human ye of human gods. 389 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,240 Okay So what he's saying is like think of this, I'm a snake and 390 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,840 once I eat that fruit I'm able to be like you. 391 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,640 I can speak as well. Now if you as a human eat that 392 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:14,880 food, you'll be a God then so ye shall die perhaps by putting off 393 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,520 human to put on gods death to be wished though threatened, which 394 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,640 no worse than this can bring. And what are gods that men may 395 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440 not become as they participate in God like food? 396 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,560 What prevents men from becoming gods? 397 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,840 Shouldn't that be a good thing to be ambitious? 398 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,440 The gods are first and that advantage use on our belief that 399 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,000 all from them proceeds. OK so this is what he's saying. 400 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,680 He's saying like no anyone can become a God. 401 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320 I'm a snake. If I can become human, then 402 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,640 humans can become gods as well. But the problem of gods is that 403 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,160 they came first and therefore they want to maintain the 404 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,080 monopoly over power. And that's why they trying to 405 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,760 keep us ignorant. So we have a responsibility to 406 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:06,480 be ambitious, to rebel, OK, to rebel, rebel. 407 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,600 Rebellion is honorable and just OK. 408 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,360 And again, this this is the ideas that permanent throughout 409 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,840 Anglo American civilization. I question it for this fear 410 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,200 earth I see warm by the sun, producing very every kind them 411 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,840 nothing, if they all things who enclose knots of good and evil 412 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,920 in this tree, that whoso eats thereof with with forthwith 413 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,720 attains wisdom without their leave. 414 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,160 And wherein lies the offense that men should thus attain to 415 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,240 know? What can your knowledge hurt 416 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,040 them? Or this tree impart against his 417 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,320 will, if all be his? Or is it envy? 418 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,320 And can envy dwell in heavenly breasts? 419 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,280 These, these and many more causes import your need of this 420 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,840 fair food God. This humane reached them and 421 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,960 fairly taste OK. If there's a God that tells us 422 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,000 we cannot eat the food, this cannot be the true God because a 423 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,280 God it has to be perfect, it has to be forgiving, it has to be 424 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,720 generous. And a God that tells us we 425 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,440 cannot do something that denies us our free will. 426 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:18,160 It's a God that is jealous, that is petty, that is power hungry 427 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,440 and therefore we should rebel against this God. 428 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,640 A rebellion against a tyrant is honorable and just. 429 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:34,800 OK, So it's a celebration of individual, of individual 430 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,920 intellect through rebellion. And this is a basis of Anglo 431 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,080 American civilization, OK. And so Anglo American 432 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,440 civilization is based entirely on individual achievement. 433 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,880 All right, Now Russian civilization is very different. 434 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,240 In fact, it's in opposition, in competition with Anglo American 435 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,920 civilization. Okay, so now let's go over to 436 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:03,120 Russia and discuss the Russian system. 437 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,680 So the Russian system is an autocracy. 438 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,320 And again, there are strengths and weaknesses to any political 439 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,880 system and autocracy, if one man is in charge, that allows for 440 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,600 long term planning, that allows for direction, that allows for 441 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,840 strategy. OK, But the problem with 442 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,760 autocracy is that if this man were to die, you would have a 443 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:34,440 succession crisis. So the American strategy to 444 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,280 defeat Russia is not to destroy the country, because you cannot 445 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,000 do that. Russia has nuclear weapons. 446 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,800 The strategy is to make Putin so unpopular that the elite rise up 447 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,640 against Putin and create a secession crisis. 448 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,000 OK, Basically to outlast Putin, to destroy his legitimacy. 449 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000 All right. The grand strategy for Russia, 450 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,160 it's something called the Third Rome strategy. 451 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,360 All right, I'll discuss this more later on. 452 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,239 The idea of 1/3 Rome is that Russia is the here to the Roman 453 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,080 Empire, OK. The first Rome is Rome, second 454 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,159 Rome is Constantinople, and the third Rome is Moscow. 455 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,920 And there shall be no 4th Rome, meaning that once Moscow 456 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,639 achieves the third Rome, that's the end of history. 457 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,159 And the idea of the third Rome is for Russia to unify all 458 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:35,080 religious traditions together to defeat the enterprise system, 459 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:41,800 which is Western liberal, individual consumer democracy. 460 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:50,000 OK, The vectors, the attack vectors for Russia's grand 461 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,440 strategy are, of course, Orthodox religion. 462 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:03,920 The religion. Then you have the geography of 463 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,280 Russia, so Russia encompasses of Eurasia. 464 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,120 And then of course, you have the artillery. 465 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,000 So Russia is basically the world's best land army and we're 466 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,240 seeing that in Ukraine. OK. 467 00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:22,720 And the pawns are soldiers. In other words, Russia is not 468 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,200 afraid to lose soldiers on the battlefield. 469 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:33,280 OK, All right. So this is Russia's Third Rome 470 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,960 strategy. OK, So Moscow is the center of 471 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,400 Third Rome. And as you can see, Russia 472 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,520 spreads throughout Europe and throughout Asia. 473 00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,600 And what Russia is trying to do is it's trying to unite the 474 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,440 different religious traditions. So it's trying to unite Greek 475 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,240 Orthodoxy with even Orthodoxy. It's trying to work with the 476 00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:58,320 Catholic Church, OK, It's and it's trying to work with Israel 477 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,800 as well, because Israel is also a religious tradition. 478 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:09,680 Iran is a very important part of this third room strategy. 479 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:17,200 Iran is a very important partner of Moscow, and in the future 480 00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:21,600 India could also be a partner as well, because India is Hindu, 481 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,960 OK, But the great enemy, the enemy that must be destroyed, is 482 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,280 the Anglo American Empire. So the UK and North America. 483 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,840 And the idea is to cost them to go into civil war. 484 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,360 And the theory is that because the Anglo American Empire is so 485 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,840 focused on individual achievement, you can actually 486 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:50,560 force them into a civil war by exploiting the selfishness, the 487 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:55,720 egotism of the people, OK, basically the material greed of 488 00:36:55,720 --> 00:37:04,200 their people. So what underpins Moscow's Third 489 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,120 Rome strategy are certain texts. OK, so you have a Virgil's in 490 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,560 the ad which focuses on the importance of duty. 491 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:21,200 OK duty. Then you have Saint Augustine's 492 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:32,520 Confessions and in his book he argues that we humans are proud. 493 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,840 OK, but whereas John Milton says pride is a good thing, but it 494 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,480 allows us to achieve godhood, so it says that pride is evil 495 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,320 because pride moves us away from God. 496 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,680 It makes us think we're better than God, so it moves us to 497 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,440 Satan. Therefore, our life should be a 498 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:58,040 journey into defeating our ego, our selfishness, and our pride 499 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,280 and embracing God. OK. 500 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,880 It's something that Twice, Sorry Basievsky talks about in his 501 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,800 book Crime and Punishment. So crime is in the in the book 502 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,000 Crime and Punishment, the protagonist wants to become a 503 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,160 superhuman. He he wants to prove he's better 504 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,000 than everyone else. And so to do that, he decides to 505 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,520 commit murder. OK. 506 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,120 He wants to show himself and to others that he is beyond 507 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,800 morality, that he's a God. He's not constrained by 508 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:38,760 emotions. And so he kills his landlady, 509 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,760 But in afterwards, he feels tremendous regret for what he 510 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,400 did. And what saves him is his love 511 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:52,120 for a for a woman, OK. He submits himself to the power 512 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,800 of love. He submits himself to the power 513 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,880 of God. And that's what redeems him in 514 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:01,240 the end. OK, so the argument here is that 515 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:07,920 your belief in your own possibility of achieving godhood 516 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,240 can only lead you to your own doom, OK? 517 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:18,000 What will save you, what will deem you, is to omit your 518 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,040 mortality, omit your fallibility, and to seek help 519 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,480 from those around you and from God. 520 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:31,560 OK, All right. So this is something that Toy 521 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,040 Story talks also about in his book, Anna Karina. 522 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,320 OK, so we're going to read a passage from Anna Karina. 523 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:47,320 And Anna Karina is a woman who's obsessed with finding love. 524 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:54,440 And she believes that through passion, through devotion, I can 525 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,120 find true love and therefore complete myself. 526 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,480 OK. So she has an affair with a man 527 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,000 named Count Ronski. And in the beginning, it's a 528 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,720 wonderful thing. It brings her tremendous 529 00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,600 happiness. She leaves her husband. 530 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,920 She leaves her son. But eventually what she 531 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:19,560 discovers is that this lust for another, for a man, in order to 532 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:26,560 fill the void in her heart makes her even more empty. 533 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,280 And she feels her life becomes more and more pointless. 534 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,080 OK. So she decides to kill herself. 535 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,160 But before she kills herself, she has this internal monologue 536 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,240 with herself, OK? And this, this what? 537 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,800 She says. My love keeps growing more 538 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,640 passionate and more egoistic, more selfish, more proud, while 539 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,320 his is waning and waning. And that's why we're drifting 540 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,080 apart. OK. 541 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:58,120 So she demands Kat Rodsky love her as much as she loves him. 542 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,680 The problem is that she doesn't recognize that this love, it's 543 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,320 not about love, it's about control, OK? 544 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:13,720 She wants him to be as devoted to her as she is to him. 545 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,640 OK? She wants to control him, and he 546 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,680 rebels against his control. And so he starts to drift away 547 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,520 because he wants to maintain his freedom, see what I'm using. 548 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:28,080 And there's no help for it. He's everything, Everything for 549 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,200 me. I want to. 550 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,320 I want him more and more to give him some up to me entirely. 551 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,480 OK? So she wants him to surrender 552 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,920 himself completely to her. She wants to become God. 553 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,480 And she, he wants she wants to make him the servant. 554 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,040 OK. This is not about love. 555 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,760 It's about power. And he wants more and more to 556 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:53,160 get away from me. We walk to meet each other up to 557 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,640 the time of our love, and then we have been irresply driven in 558 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,880 different directions and there's no altering that. 559 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,920 He tells me I'm insanely jealous and I have told myself that I am 560 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,560 insanely jealous, but it's not true. 561 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:07,280 I'm not jealous, but I'm unsatisfied, OK? 562 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,920 But she opened her lips and shifted her place in the 563 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,320 carriage in the excitement, aroused by the thought that 564 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,160 suddenly struck her. If I could be anything but a 565 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,320 mysterious, passionately caring for nothing but his caresses. 566 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,680 But I can't, and I don't care to be anything else. 567 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,720 My desire. I rouse a version in him, and he 568 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,800 rouses fairy in me, and it cannot be different. 569 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,320 Don't I know that he wouldn't deceive me, that he has no 570 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,400 schemes about Princess Shirakina, that he's not in love 571 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,360 with Kitty, that he won't desert me? 572 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,240 I know all that, but it makes me. 573 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,920 It makes it no better for me about loving me from duty. 574 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,280 He'll be good and kind to me about what I want. 575 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,760 That's 1000 times worse than kindness. 576 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,880 That's hell. And that's just how it is. 577 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,280 For a long while now, he hasn't loved me. 578 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,360 And where love ends, hate begins. 579 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,760 I don't know these streets at all. 580 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,080 Hills, it seems, and still houses. 581 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,240 OK. And so she's going to go 582 00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:59,560 carousel because she recognizes that she's been living a lie. 583 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:08,160 She thought that if I truly love him, then he will love me back. 584 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,360 She wants to become God. And what she doesn't recognize 585 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,400 is that as a human, she has an eagle. 586 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,240 And so we've she thinks she's loving Kat Ronski 587 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,840 unconditionally. But in fact, what he, what she's 588 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,400 trying to do is control him and have him obey her 589 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,680 unconditionally. OK, That's the difference 590 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,120 between God and human. Where God. 591 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,640 God is all knowing, all forgiving, all generous, all 592 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,600 love. But a human can't do that. 593 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,800 And when a human tries to become a God, a human can only become a 594 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,960 tyrant. OK, and that's a lesson from Toy 595 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,000 Story. Don't think you can. 596 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,440 You can become God. You can only destroy yourself as 597 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:04,200 well as others around you. And So what Toy Story will do is 598 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,840 that he will contrast and Aquino with man named Levin. 599 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,320 OK and Levin is different. Levin Rather than try to seek 600 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,720 happiness and passion, he just submits himself to duty and to 601 00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:22,400 to to tradition. He marries a woman he loves and 602 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,680 he spends all his time being responsible to her as well as to 603 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,040 himself as well as to the household. 604 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,960 He just does what he's supposed to do. 605 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:39,440 And by doing that, by submitting his freedom, by submitting 606 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,480 himself to duty and tradition, he makes himself truly happy. 607 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,960 OK, so really the argument between America and Russia is a 608 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,040 different understanding of the story of Adam and Eve. 609 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,240 For the Americans, they believe that Eve's disobedience is a 610 00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:02,560 good thing because it's what leads to progress. 611 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:10,600 It's what leads to achievement. Americans believe that godhood 612 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,400 is possible and it's a good thing. 613 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,360 The Russians are different. They believe that Eve disobeyed 614 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,720 because she was too proud and she does not recognize the 615 00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:26,800 limitations of her humanity. And perfection is not possible. 616 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,080 Progress is not possible. What is good is recognizing our 617 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,960 limitations and submitting ourselves to the power of God. 618 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,040 OK, so that's why Russia and America cannot reconcile, 619 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,800 because not only do they have geopolitical differences, but 620 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,880 fundamentally the way they perceive the world is different 621 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,000 and they're fighting to impose their own reality on others. 622 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:58,560 OK, all right, but the same is also true for Iran and issue. 623 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:06,080 OK, so now let's go over Iran. Iran is a theocracy if theocracy 624 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:16,160 is good in that it creates cohesion in society and they are 625 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,400 able to survive major calamities because of their faith. 626 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,720 OK, so you know even though Americans and Israelis are 627 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:26,000 destroying a lot of Iranian infrastructure, the Iranian 628 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,240 people are still united. But if theocracy is bad because 629 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:37,360 it can lead to extremism and extremism can divide a 630 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,280 population, OK, So it's possible that as this war continues, you 631 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,520 have a small minority population who become who become 632 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,600 extremists, and they alienate everyone else, OK. 633 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,800 The grand strategy is Shia exceptionalism. 634 00:46:54,560 --> 00:47:01,240 And the idea here is that the Iranians are Shia Muslims, and 635 00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:05,520 Shia Muslims believe that only a descendant of the Prophet 636 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:11,080 Muhammad can lead the Muslim world, can become caliph, OK. 637 00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:16,520 And the Sunni Muslims who are the majority in the Muslim world 638 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,360 don't believe that. They believe that anyone who's 639 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,480 qualified can become caliph. So for the longest time, the 640 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,480 Shia and the Sunnis have been at war with each other. 641 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:33,040 And Saudi Arabia is the center of the Sunni Muslim world and 642 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,120 Iran is the center of the Shia Muslim world. 643 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,000 And So what Iran is trying to do is topple Saudi Arabia and 644 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,840 become the leader of the entire Muslim world because that is 645 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,200 what their destiny is. OK. 646 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:56,920 The attack vectors for Iran are the terrain, their faith and the 647 00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:02,520 proxies, OK. The proxies include the hoofis, 648 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:10,000 the Hezbollah and Hamas, OK. And the and the pawns, of 649 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,120 course, are the drones and missiles. 650 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:18,760 All right, So that is the Iranian situation. 651 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,720 And what's important to understand is the cultural 652 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:24,680 origins. OK, sorry. 653 00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:28,920 So this is the entire Muslim world and what Iran's trying to 654 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,920 do is trying to unite all of them together. 655 00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:41,440 OK, So something that really something you need to appreciate 656 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,720 about the Iranians is that they have two major cultural 657 00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:48,680 traditions. The first is Zoroastrianism and 658 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,200 Zoroastrianism was the 1st. It's a tallest goal religion in 659 00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:55,760 the world. And that they believe that there 660 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,520 is an end of the world judgement day and that judgement day, 661 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,320 those who live the truth Asha will descend, will ascend to 662 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,680 heaven and those who live the lie, the Jews, will descend into 663 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,040 hell. So what's important is not to 664 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,040 become wealthy or powerful or famous. 665 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,760 It's not about achievement. It's about being true to 666 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:24,080 yourself and being true to God, OK, To live a good life because 667 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,160 at the end of time you'll be rewarded. 668 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,360 That's what they believe. The other thing is they believe 669 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:36,680 in martyrdom. OK, so as I mentioned, the Shia 670 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,720 believe that only descendant, only a blood relative of the 671 00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:46,480 Prophet Muhammad can be caliph. So this is Imad Hussein, who's 672 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:53,920 the grandson of the Prophet. And he rebelled against the 673 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,280 caliph. And so the caliph had this huge 674 00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,320 army against him, and he was surrounded and he had very few 675 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,440 soldiers, but they fought to the death anyway, OK, Because they 676 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,320 believe what's important is to die for your, for your, for your 677 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,800 faith. And so this is a battle of 678 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,960 Karbala. And so in other words, because 679 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,000 of these traditions, you have both the Jurassian tradition 680 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,960 that believe in Judgment day, you also have the Shia tradition 681 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:31,120 which believes in martyrdom. The Iranians are are not afraid 682 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,520 to fight to the death. Yes, the Americans and Israelis 683 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,080 have bigger weapons, they have more soldiers, they have more 684 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,160 money. It doesn't matter. 685 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,040 What's important is to fight for, to believe it, to set a 686 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,360 good example for future generations. 687 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,160 OK, so that's, that's the Iranian system. 688 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,200 And that's why the Iranians will not, will never surrender in 689 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,080 this war, no matter how bad it gets. 690 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,000 The last I want to talk, the last country I want to talk 691 00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:03,760 about is Israel. So Israel it is not. 692 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,200 It is a democracy and a theocracy. 693 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:17,000 OK, sorry. So it is a democracy as well as 694 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,320 a theocracy. And the way you destroy Israel 695 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,160 is you caused it. You caused it to enter a civil 696 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,440 war, all right? And it's actually not that hard 697 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,240 because right now Israel is a very factual society. 698 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,120 The grand strategy is gonna call the Greater Israel Project. 699 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:42,600 So the Israelis believe that in the Bible, it says that God 700 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,440 promised their ancestor Abraham all of the Middle East 701 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,040 stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates. 702 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,000 And that's what they must achieve. 703 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,560 OK, so they're fighting this war and not to defeat Iran, but to 704 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:54,920 achieve the Greater Israel Project. 705 00:51:55,720 --> 00:52:02,240 The attack vectors are the Bible, the Mossad, and the 706 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:06,160 Jewish diaspora. OK, so Israel doesn't have that 707 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,360 many people, 89 million people. It's a very small country, but 708 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,440 it has three major advantages. The first advantage is the Bible 709 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,080 in that there are many Christians who believe that 710 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,720 Israel is what God promised the Jewish people and therefore the 711 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:26,760 Jewish people have a right to be in Israel and do whatever they 712 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,880 want because that is what God promised them. 713 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,960 OK, then you have Mossad. And so Mossad is the most 714 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,160 effective intelligence agency in the world. 715 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,400 And what they're very good at doing is infiltration, 716 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,840 infiltration. And they're so they're good at 717 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,560 Co opting, bribing and blackmailing the elites of 718 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,680 different nations. And this is especially true in 719 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,640 the Middle East. OK. 720 00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:55,080 And then you have the Diaspora, the Jews are everywhere around 721 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,800 the world and that. And so they become very 722 00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:04,720 important recruits for Mossad. But they're they're also very 723 00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:07,440 wealthy. So they can finance Israel and 724 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,640 its mission to create the Greater Israel Project. 725 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,000 And of course the pawns are everyone else. 726 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,960 OK. So Mossad is very good at 727 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,520 infiltrating different nations and creating conflict in those 728 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,560 nations in order to benefit Israel, right? 729 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,680 OK. So this is the Greater Israel 730 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:33,280 project and this is the end goal of the Israelis, all right? 731 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:38,040 So the good initial project stretches from the Nile to the 732 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,680 Euphrates. What's important is that it also 733 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:48,760 encompasses parts of Turkia, of Syria, of Jordan, of Lebanon and 734 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,480 parts of Saudi Arabia, OK, And then Iraq as well. 735 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:58,320 So this war in the Middle East is actually helping Israel move 736 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,520 towards the Greater Israel Project, because what is 737 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:10,760 happening is that Iran is basically destroying the GCC, 738 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,080 OK. And maybe Torquilla will enter 739 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,200 the war at some point, in which case this will make Turkey a 740 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,480 vulnerable to attack from Israel. 741 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,120 OK, So what Israel is very good at doing is are creating false 742 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,400 flag operations, false flag operations. 743 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:36,920 And the idea is that, listen, what you want is the entire 744 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,760 Middle East at war with each other. 745 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,880 So you create as much conflict as possible, right? 746 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,000 So the idea is that the Iranians will actually have to attack the 747 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,080 GCCPC. Sure, this will do it for them 748 00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:50,960 and and blame it on the Iranians. 749 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,520 OK, So this conflict will only get worse and worse because it 750 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,280 benefits Israel to have as much conflict as possible in the 751 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:05,840 Middle East, OK. And underpinning initial society 752 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,040 is something called the Kabbalah. 753 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,040 So this is something called the Tree of Life, and I'll explain 754 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,200 more later on in the semester about the Kabbalah is because 755 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,120 it's very important, but there's certain things I'll point out 756 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,120 about the Kabbalah, OK? The first thing that I'll point 757 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:32,320 out is that in the tradition of the Kabbalah, there's only two 758 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,880 things that matter. There's the crater and there's 759 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:44,520 the crated, OK? In other words, Israel does not 760 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,560 care about the world. Israel only cares about its 761 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,280 relationship with God. As long as Israel is favored by 762 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,400 God, they're happy. OK, that's the first one I'll 763 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,600 point out. Second thing I'll point out is 764 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:07,560 that this Kabbalah, the tree of life, it is a basis for the 765 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,360 entire universe. OK, this Kabbalah shows you 766 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,720 where the universe came from and where it's going. 767 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,600 And the main logic of the universe is the movement of 768 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:28,920 thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, OK? 769 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:34,560 This is the fractal that underpins the tree of life, 770 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,200 which underpins the entire universe. 771 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:41,640 OK, you can see how you have these fractals going on. 772 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:48,320 OK, OK, so in other words, what what the people believe about 773 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:55,160 believe is that there is an inevitable process to the 774 00:56:55,160 --> 00:57:00,520 universe and you can't stop it. What you can do is you can 775 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:06,760 accelerate the process. All right, so if the movement is 776 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:13,520 thesis synthesis, one way to understand this is for for us to 777 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,640 be good, we must first be evil, OK? 778 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:22,800 Because what evil does is it annoys God and God punishes you, 779 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,720 and then you seek forgiveness from God, and then God Forgives 780 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:31,800 you and then you become better. But the, but the thing, the 781 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:36,240 thing to remember is you must first commit sin in order to 782 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,400 redeem yourself. And you can't stop this process. 783 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,960 What you can do is you can accelerate this process. 784 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,240 So this is very different from the Russian tradition. 785 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,680 The Russian tradition believes in the concept of the Catacon 786 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,600 right, which is just stop the Antichrist, which is like, let's 787 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,320 stop people from behaving badly. Whereas the people like about 788 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,000 the believe, no, it's important to behave badly because that is 789 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,680 the path to God. That's the path to wisdom. 790 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,440 That's the path to enlightenment and redemption, OK? 791 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,160 It's something that we'll discuss more in the future, OK. 792 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,680 And this helps us explain why Israel is behaving the way it is 793 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,800 behaving in the Middle East. First of all, what other people 794 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,360 think of Israel doesn't matter. What matters is God, OK? 795 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:25,360 What God thinks of Israel. Second thing is that it's 796 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:30,000 important to do evil in order to ultimately redeem yourself from 797 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,800 this evil. And the only force that can 798 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,880 redeem you is God. OK, so Israel is committing all 799 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,240 this evil because then God will humble Israel by setting the 800 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,960 world against it. And then the Israelis will beg 801 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,840 for forgive this and that is what will cause a reunion 802 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,000 between the Jewish people and God. 803 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,600 OK. And the third thing is, in the 804 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,960 system, goodness does not mean to avoid sin. 805 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,920 It's not impossible. Goodness means to accelerate 806 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:07,080 this natural process into sin so that issue can be redeemed at 807 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,280 the end of days. It doesn't make sense. 808 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,920 All right. So what I'm trying to explain 809 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,120 here, what is very important is that each of these four 810 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,720 different players, United States, Russia, Iran and Israel, 811 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,240 they have their own world view. They have they have own 812 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:30,080 understanding and that's what drives their actions, OK. 813 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,600 And the other thing to remember is that what's really 814 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,400 interesting between these four world views is that they're 815 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,400 actually not in conflict with each other, OK? 816 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,440 And these four in these four world views, it's going, it's 817 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,320 what's going to drive your policy for the next 5 to 10 818 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,840 years. And because they are galvanized 819 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:56,080 into achieving their worldview, this forces the world to go 820 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,440 along, even though the world may not want to go along. 821 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,320 OK, does that make sense? All right, So what I will do 822 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,720 next week is talk about the Civil War going out, going out 823 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,040 on in the world between artificial intelligence and 824 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,120 finance. Okay, and Trump is visiting 825 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:19,640 China in about a weeks time, so we'll also look at the 826 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,880 relationship between United States and China as well. 827 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,240 Okay, any questions? All right.
