  • This Video is a clip from The Joe Rogan Experience #1921 where Joe and Peter discuss the dynamics of the current world and why that leads Peter to his theory, which is the world as we know it is about to end as we go into a new age. Peter Zeihan is a Geopolitical analyst and author and I believe he has some interesting ideas and statistics to back these ideas, so I decided to share it with you all. Obviously, I don’t think anyone can tell the future so take this theory with a grain of salt, just something to stimulate thought and interesting to hear out.

      Yes the Ukraine war is a resource war. Ukraine has the natural gas to supply Europe but they made a deal with Russia to not to develope that for now which would be in direct competition with Russia and being closer to Europe they would more than likely be the primary supplier . Now it appears that has backfired for Putin but he thought he would in the country in a week and take Ukraine's gas reserves . Taking over the grain exports was also key .

      imagine someone tells you a story about the way things are and the way they're going to be but all his evidence is based on figures he refuses to verify. for instance the man says Putin lied to xi's face. i haven't seen a single piece of Russian news that has said they were invading Ukraine. it's possible he believes they are not. so why does this guy mind read Putin's response but also his motivations for lying? did putin call him and say, hey bro, just wanted to tell you how scared i am. maybe. also regarding population, he's correct about the population producing less offspring but then he predicts the future. predicting the future is impossible. as they say throw enough blank at the wall and something will stick. even if his prediction come true, at the point this statement was produced it is an opinion and that means he's lying. he does not know anything about outcomes. he barely understands his own existence. like everybody. if he's wrong, will we all shame him? will he admit he was wrong? why does he think because he hates children, everyone does? or at least everyone from the city does apparently.

So that made the social security my kids would be paying in are paying for the same to retire. Back in the 80's people weren't having as many kids so eventually down the road there's not going to be enough people paying into social security to support the retired. I thought 🤔 ....... social security is set up to fail. Who thought up this bullshit scheme? It was people without foresight enough to see this was going to happen at some point or people who knew this was a possibility but didn't give a shit that it was likely to happen. So here we are.

    I grew up in USSR, in eastern Ukraine, and the mistake that speaker makes, is that somehow Ukrainian identity shaped after the fall of Soviet Union in 30 something years. That is simply not true. Ukrainian identity existed long before that, and there was always tension between the eastern and the western Ukraine as well. If this expert really knew what he is talking about, he would say that there is more than one Ukrainian identity, since Donbass region, where I grew up, always had it's own kind of identity, very distinctive from the west Ukrainian identity, to the point that after the revolution and fall of Russian empire, initially this region was supposed to become a separate Soviet republic (Donetsk - Krivy Rog Republic). This is quite a bit more multilayered than the speaker presents it, which is always the case with Western media.

It doesn’t make him any less credible, in fact a lot of what he states makes sense if you look through a narrow bottle of possibilities, and that’s the beautiful thing of it all, you can’t ever predict things 100%. A sudden shift in policy can disrupt a lot of what he’s saying just like a major disruption to crucial sectors of world economy can speed up a worse case scenario for the world, but this is not 1500s, the world has certainly change since China and a lot of this country’s have committed self suicide to put it nicely, the U.S. itself has changed quite a few times and pívot in different directions since our terrible ideas lol. What I’m saying is; humans have a tendency to self destruct, is a habit of us, huge consumption has driven this erratic behavior of ours, currency and ownership has made us more selfish if you will, we need treaties and policy to share items needed to prosper, we need law and government to guide us and prevent full out debacles of society, but the one thing that has remained throughout our history is that when time are hard, we adapt better than any other creature, we forge relationships and gather to complete a common goal but we tend to do things the hard way and criticize those who go against the flow ( capitalism ) etc. Let’s see what happens over the next 30 years which for me will crucial to determine where humanity goes for the next 1000 year’s.

      Demographic issue is almost impossible to fix
      It takes time and big will to revert it. Many countries are sorting it by bringning massive immigration however China is not as appealing since there is no rule of law😅 their real estate sucks and it’s a communist system. I don’t see how they will fix that

    When Coxxx was just in full bloom, I was saying that when Congress voted for the inevitable Pork deal that was going to set the printing presses rolling, they should have a provision for setting up $2-3M grants for U. S. Citizens to open small businesses with 25+ employees to produce all the el cheepo chatskis that line the shelves at Walmart and similar faculties with items marked _Made In China_ all items under about $10.00. What's wrong with grants to help our own people to open small companies producing them and providing a living wage for American workers?

    His thinking is a little flawed in not taking globalization or technological progress more into account in my opinion. I agree demographic challenges are coming in the future, but many countries are projected to have lots of youth for decades to come, especially in Africa. There could be a messy but necessary shifting of industry from Asia to Africa and shifting of services (financial, tech, etc) from the West to Asia to somewhat mitigate this. Combining this with potential for advances in AI and robotics to replace some repetitive, menial, or information-centric jobs, disaster can be averted. It will still be very disruptive tho and lots of political and economic reforms will become necessary to cope with the new realities and I'm not sure the dysfunctional American political system is capable of handling that.

      @@kylefisher1458 right, which brings a new young person to those aging countries to work. That's the point, in a globalized economy the nation of origin of young people is less important, what matters is that they just exist somewhere. Industries will go to them, and/or bring them to the industry (whichever is most economical in a particular circumstance). Africa will be producing a lot of younglings for the next few decades by many projections.

You're talking about things that could be, and he's talking about things that did happen and are happening to make predictions about the future. Everything he said could come true, and maybe everything you said could be a part of the solution, but I wouldn't say that what he is saying is flawed any more than yourself

    So we need more people having kids, but the cost is higher than it has ever been. Hard to tell these younger people who have all these things on social media telling them to buy expensive stuff, have as many partners as possible and to live life. Well, kids kinda stop that.

    • @KhanSphere
      @KhanSphere Рік тому

      Social media-driven consumerism isn't stopping people from having kids. Consumerism is actually a positive assuming you're having children at approximately the replacement rate. The issue is that we're already in the inverted-pyramid stage of the demographic collapse, it can't really be "fixed" because it takes 20-25 years for a child to be economically productive and we just don't have that time. Younger people (myself included) just have to ride this out unfortunately, waiting for older generations to die off. You can't bully younger generations into having children when they're holding the weight of older generations on their back, there has to be an incentive to do so.
