He just moves onto now how russia and China will be at war in a year or two because Siberia or some stuff.(Bold prediction that wont happen either)
I watched a Zeihan video regarding my country Finland and he hopelessly just got basic facts wrong. It was nonsense but delivered with full confidence and must've sounded true to all his listerners.
That’s what investors want to hear. He pitches people on investing in domestic oil and gas, manufacturing, chemical production, and shipping. Which are all things we desperately need to produce in our country instead of buying them from China. And when he says “china is done in ten years” he means “you, as investors and business owners, are not going to be able to buy cheap shit from China in ten years.”
I used to be a big Zeihan fan going way back to Stratfor circa 2000. Even when I didn't know it was him. But watching him completely fail to tell the truth about the Nordstream bombing or the war in Ukraine completely made me lose faith in him and unsubscribe. He 100% knows about these events but tells lies because he knows if he doesn't his speaking contracts will immediately end.
Exactly ? Zeihan makes money from both his speaking engagements and books he’s written. And 99% of Zeihans audience is comprised of Americans- As long as he continues getting paid 💰 ,he will make ANY type of prediction favourable to the U.S
You can get some good and interesting info out of him still, but you have to take it as what he is: a DoD shill. Very pro-American. Im curious on the demographics still, as he gave this decade, so see if the major ones (Korea, China, Germany) fall out over next 6 year I guess.
My favorite thing about Zeihan is his TDS and hatred of Elon. Saying Biden will in a landslide, and that he’ll never use Twitter again; but he’s on everyday still. Lmao

@@roarbertbearatheon8565 I also heard the outline of his nipples are tattooed to be shaped like Taiwan. It was something I jotted down after a dream though
I think they've got him down perfectly. He does have masterful presentation skills, but these are the classes of the cool dude social studies teacher not the lectures of a rock-solid scientist or mathematician. I'm sure he does do hundreds of sold out shows ever year but so do rock stars and no one is hiring either of them to actually run their oil refineries or atomic weapons development program.
I had a coworker who recommended zeihan's channel to me and then i realized he was making huuuuge claims but everything he was saying was so complicated and obscure that it would take hours of research to verify any of what he was saying so it just smelled like bullshit. That and my coworker is a complete idiot and the idea that she was wrapping her head around any of what he was laying out was even crazier to me
Ive been listening to him.for uears and if he doesnt work for the cia he says everything they would want him to. Every subject can be summed up with usa is fine and everyone needs to dance to there tune!
Zeihan has been predicting that Russia was gonna win from the start btw ("they always do war like this, terrible start but they learn along the way"). Many of his other takes are trash though, e.g. France and Turkey turning into ultrapowers because of "healthy demographics".
I don’t think he is a grifter he really believes what he is saying and selling. Problem is he gets trends right but individual actions he can not predict how that plays out. I think he more a testament to individual actions directing history. Not the data.
Problem is that Zeihan looks at things from current trends and predicts based on that. He's never going to be completely accurate because he can't factor in the chaos of the world, but he makes the boldest predictions possible to sell books. If you just want to hear schizo posts or fearmongering, then you're never going to get that. Most of his takes otherwise are pretty lukewarm.
They really need to stop being lazy and get a second camera and splice the guest into the video because this crap of having them turn around to see the tv is redacted.
Wtf is this lmao. I came to see interesting explanations on why Zeihan is wrong but all this is was insults, accusations of grifting amd assumptions that everything he's saying is automatically wrong with no examples backing up that claim For example, 0:48 he didn't say that lol. He said Russia is going to run out of modern munitions at the rate they were using them and would have to resort to the Soviet stockpile. At the time he was correct and every analyst was saying the same thing. What changed is Putin committing to a war economy and producing shells along with North Korea delivering 2 million 06:13 tf is this argument lol. Itd relevant information to explain that lots of Russia is exposed and can be easily moved into by an incoming army as it doesn't have natural obstacles like mountains or oceans. Didn't even wait to see why he brought it up 08:28 these are literally the classifications of oil found in the ground? Zeihan didn't make these up
They have their own reasons for disliking Zeihan, which they think justify their making fun of him, but they haven’t organized those reasons mentally yet. Before they are discovered, those reasons are manifesting early as emotional reactions, and if they follow their impulses long enough they will start to more clearly formulate why exactly they disdain Zeihan more rationally. So they are in a pre-rational stage. I notice that when people are in their emotional stage before understanding their own reasons, they will communicate disgust and aggressive jokes about a topic, and if I have any hints of suspicion about that topic (Zeihan), then their jokes will bring that side out of me, and there will be a pressure to conform and go along with the joke. However, I find that if I stick with those people long enough to hear them begin to formulate an explicit statements of their beliefs instead of their modus operandi of critique, I find that what they take seriously is orders of magnitude more simplistic than what they critiqued. I like that your comment separated the emotional atmosphere of the coolness of critique, from the content of the arguments being made here, which are in thin supply.
I read Peter's book The End of the World is Just thr Beginning and i thought it was really good. He has been really wrong about Russia Ukraine though haha (Although he did predict that Putin would invade before it happened.)
My biggest issue with him is that he doesn't cite his sources he makes the excuse be way to long. I think have citations would strengthen his credibility especially if his thinktank is charging thousands if not hundreds of thousands for advise to the business community. I will give credit, however, he definitely only scams the the wealthy business community he charges 700 seat for a lecture. he only does interviews with no name podcast of thinktanks, industry professionals and investment podcast. He a true believer in business technocracies and real politic. He comes of as someone doesn't believe individual rights and freedoms. Its important to keep in mind that many of these think tanks are there for the private sector to bribe politicians and deep state officials cushy positions when they retire.
Bro Zeihan is good Sam is off on this. He thinks the Ukraine war is going to go another decade and fully admits basically no one knows what’s going to happen. The actual issue with Zeihan is that he is very lefty so you have to ignore any political talk he says but his geography stuff is killer (I’ve read his books - it’s good stuff and very few predictions - mainly just history/geography)
He literally predicted a Russian collapse a year after the wars start. He also predicted a china collapse in ten years...ten years ago. He just tells you what you want to hear.
i really can’t take seriously the idea that a guy who complains about biden being a “globalist” and who says his favorite president was george h.w. bush is a “leftist”. also zeihan predicted russia would follow up its ukraine invasion by invading like 5 other countries in the near future because they have all these geographic security gaps to fill and a declining birth rate. but no reasonable person seriously believes russia would invade bulgaria or the baltic states because they’re NATO members with security guarantees from the US and most of europe - it’d be a fast track to nuclear armageddon just to grab some farmland land in the balkans/on the baltic. and just look at how bogged down the russians have been in ukraine and how unwilling putin is to issue a full mobilization order - he’d rather slog it out in ukraine for years with a steady trickle of volunteer soldiers from poor villages than pay the political price for forcibly conscripting hundreds of thousands more men. he’s not plotting a grand invasion of europe to plug the bessarabian gap or whatever the fuck as zeihan was telling people a year or two ago.
I don't care or know about Zeihan's politics, but he is 100% a moron. You can craft an explanation for anything if you create convincing narrative around it because there are so many inputs into why these geopolitics events occur. He literally just picks one of the fifty things which could influence an event, strings a few of them together, and confidently states this is the reason why X occurs and why Y is going to occur in the future. I'm not sure if he's a grifter necessarily, he probably believes his own bullshit. People love the idea of a strong, clear narrative for why X happened, and they like the 'super smart man who's figured it all out trope'. He's almost always wrong, but people go back to him because of his presentation/personality.
Well that's just the problem, is that it takes orders of magnitudes more energy to refute BS than it does to spread it like Zeihan does. So we have to have different standards for different people. But yeah, bitcoin is a scam for sure and pro-bitcoin scammers are the worst. They're not wrong here about Zeihan tho.
Yet, it's at $60k after all the talk of tanking out. It is literally the most resilient commodity on the market for the last decade, given the enormous media campaign to bury it, hit piece after hit piece. I think Warren Buffet and Jim Cramer are the only ones upset, everyone who's holding right now look pretty fcking good.

Since he got famous he's been bullycided enough over his bad takes on China's naval buildup to change his tune a bit. However, most comments here are collapsitarian/contrarian schizo malding, especially WRT RU/Ukraine.
ngl thats gotta make you feel like jason bourne to find something like that out
@@roarbertbearatheon8565 I also heard the outline of his nipples are tattooed to be shaped like Taiwan. It was something I jotted down after a dream though
I think they've got him down perfectly. He does have masterful presentation skills, but these are the classes of the cool dude social studies teacher not the lectures of a rock-solid scientist or mathematician. I'm sure he does do hundreds of sold out shows ever year but so do rock stars and no one is hiring either of them to actually run their oil refineries or atomic weapons development program.
Zeihan is Strafor same as Alex Jones tho 😳
Calling Zehian fake and being a cryptobro should be considered the same thing
HAHAHAHA LOVED absolutely LOVED This video, fucking nailed it boys!!!
Jay is a legend
I love his take on US debt and deficits. He doesn't have one.
Love this clip
It really was a joy to watch this one
he is CIA
Probably. He is a secular gay jew. That explains it more than him being in agency.
@@takeonedaily it's not probably - he is cia. i don't understand what you mean about him being secular, gay and jewish. what does that mean to you?
@@federationspace5264 Think about who in history was a prominent secular jew and then get back to me.
The certain group that takeonedaily is referring to is notorious for attempting subversion and the spreading of false narratives.
Stratfor has always been CIA.
He made a video whining about X & saying he was leaving. 😂
I had a coworker who recommended zeihan's channel to me and then i realized he was making huuuuge claims but everything he was saying was so complicated and obscure that it would take hours of research to verify any of what he was saying so it just smelled like bullshit. That and my coworker is a complete idiot and the idea that she was wrapping her head around any of what he
was laying out was even crazier to me
Ive been listening to him.for uears and if he doesnt work for the cia he says everything they would want him to.
Every subject can be summed up with usa is fine and everyone needs to dance to there tune!
No one enjoys war more than this guy.
So they dont like that he doesn't like bitcoin and likes maps, which they apparently hate? How about actually debunking some of his many analasis.
When he said Britain was going to invade Ireland, I realised he was full of horseshit
Zeihan has been predicting that Russia was gonna win from the start btw ("they always do war like this, terrible start but they learn along the way").
Many of his other takes are trash though, e.g. France and Turkey turning into ultrapowers because of "healthy demographics".
@@SJFyoutube yeah, he's been predicting that China will collapse within the next 5 years for almost two decades now, I think.
pronounced zion, of course
I don’t think he is a grifter he really believes what he is saying and selling. Problem is he gets trends right but individual actions he can not predict how that plays out. I think he more a testament to individual actions directing history. Not the data.
I need to see Jay and Charls interact
Zeihan truly is an expert on oil. Don't listen to him on *anything* else.
This show is chapo trap house for bodybuilders.
I always feel a little bad for Chris when Sam gets mad but it’s also fuckin hilarious
I listened to the audio and I thought it was spelt Zion.
Zeihan literally is never right so he can be used to predict stuff...sometimes.
Wtf happened to Dyer?
Fascinating criticism here. Do you guys mind giving a single example of how he’s a grifter?
zeihan's books are a great read but yea you have to know what you're dealing with
Like all professionals, he has some interesting insights, but also a lot of fluff and his own political blinkers.
Disinformation agent
Subversive lolcow turk, many such cases
Problem is that Zeihan looks at things from current trends and predicts based on that. He's never going to be completely accurate because he can't factor in the chaos of the world, but he makes the boldest predictions possible to sell books. If you just want to hear schizo posts or fearmongering, then you're never going to get that. Most of his takes otherwise are pretty lukewarm.
They really need to stop being lazy and get a second camera and splice the guest into the video because this crap of having them turn around to see the tv is redacted.
4th wall tv now
I think he makes a lot of sense actually.
Wtf is this lmao. I came to see interesting explanations on why Zeihan is wrong but all this is was insults, accusations of grifting amd assumptions that everything he's saying is automatically wrong with no examples backing up that claim
For example, 0:48 he didn't say that lol. He said Russia is going to run out of modern munitions at the rate they were using them and would have to resort to the Soviet stockpile. At the time he was correct and every analyst was saying the same thing. What changed is Putin committing to a war economy and producing shells along with North Korea delivering 2 million
06:13 tf is this argument lol. Itd relevant information to explain that lots of Russia is exposed and can be easily moved into by an incoming army as it doesn't have natural obstacles like mountains or oceans. Didn't even wait to see why he brought it up
08:28 these are literally the classifications of oil found in the ground? Zeihan didn't make these up
They have their own reasons for disliking Zeihan, which they think justify their making fun of him, but they haven’t organized those reasons mentally yet. Before they are discovered, those reasons are manifesting early as emotional reactions, and if they follow their impulses long enough they will start to more clearly formulate why exactly they disdain Zeihan more rationally. So they are in a pre-rational stage.
I notice that when people are in their emotional stage before understanding their own reasons, they will communicate disgust and aggressive jokes about a topic, and if I have any hints of suspicion about that topic (Zeihan), then their jokes will bring that side out of me, and there will be a pressure to conform and go along with the joke. However, I find that if I stick with those people long enough to hear them begin to formulate an explicit statements of their beliefs instead of their modus operandi of critique, I find that what they take seriously is orders of magnitude more simplistic than what they critiqued. I like that your comment separated the emotional atmosphere of the coolness of critique, from the content of the arguments being made here, which are in thin supply.
Low IQ
Ma booooi
He’s cia. He even brags about it
I read Peter's book The End of the World is Just thr Beginning and i thought it was really good. He has been really wrong about Russia Ukraine though haha (Although he did predict that Putin would invade before it happened.)
My biggest issue with him is that he doesn't cite his sources he makes the excuse be way to long. I think have citations would strengthen his credibility especially if his thinktank is charging thousands if not hundreds of thousands for advise to the business community. I will give credit, however, he definitely only scams the the wealthy business community he charges 700 seat for a lecture. he only does interviews with no name podcast of thinktanks, industry professionals and investment podcast. He a true believer in business technocracies and real politic. He comes of as someone doesn't believe individual rights and freedoms. Its important to keep in mind that many of these think tanks are there for the private sector to bribe politicians and deep state officials cushy positions when they retire.
Bro Zeihan is good Sam is off on this.
He thinks the Ukraine war is going to go another decade and fully admits basically no one knows what’s going to happen.
The actual issue with Zeihan is that he is very lefty so you have to ignore any political talk he says but his geography stuff is killer (I’ve read his books - it’s good stuff and very few predictions - mainly just history/geography)
He literally predicted a Russian collapse a year after the wars start. He also predicted a china collapse in ten years...ten years ago. He just tells you what you want to hear.
i really can’t take seriously the idea that a guy who complains about biden being a “globalist” and who says his favorite president was george h.w. bush is a “leftist”.
also zeihan predicted russia would follow up its ukraine invasion by invading like 5 other countries in the near future because they have all these geographic security gaps to fill and a declining birth rate.
but no reasonable person seriously believes russia would invade bulgaria or the baltic states because they’re NATO members with security guarantees from the US and most of europe - it’d be a fast track to nuclear armageddon just to grab some farmland land in the balkans/on the baltic. and just look at how bogged down the russians have been in ukraine and how unwilling putin is to issue a full mobilization order - he’d rather slog it out in ukraine for years with a steady trickle of volunteer soldiers from poor villages than pay the political price for forcibly conscripting hundreds of thousands more men. he’s not plotting a grand invasion of europe to plug the bessarabian gap or whatever the fuck as zeihan was telling people a year or two ago.
I don't care or know about Zeihan's politics, but he is 100% a moron.
You can craft an explanation for anything if you create convincing narrative around it because there are so many inputs into why these geopolitics events occur. He literally just picks one of the fifty things which could influence an event, strings a few of them together, and confidently states this is the reason why X occurs and why Y is going to occur in the future.
I'm not sure if he's a grifter necessarily, he probably believes his own bullshit.
People love the idea of a strong, clear narrative for why X happened, and they like the 'super smart man who's figured it all out trope'. He's almost always wrong, but people go back to him because of his presentation/personality.
Lmaoo I thought I was the only person who hated this guy
I feel vindicated by this video.
I subbed to him a while ago, some of his videos don't serve an agenda, but most are just terrible opinions and TDS aswell for no reason.
The area he said it's easy to run tanks through is a ridiculously ignorant statement. It's already been tried multiple times and they all failed
Where's Jay Dyer?
Zeihan… Zion … hmm
He's not Jewish. I think. I researched it before and found no evidence. But he... SEEMS Jewish.
Dude is grifter in chief
Solid take
Bitcoin guys always getting upset…
All ad hominem
Well that's just the problem, is that it takes orders of magnitudes more energy to refute BS than it does to spread it like Zeihan does. So we have to have different standards for different people. But yeah, bitcoin is a scam for sure and pro-bitcoin scammers are the worst. They're not wrong here about Zeihan tho.
Yet, it's at $60k after all the talk of tanking out. It is literally the most resilient commodity on the market for the last decade, given the enormous media campaign to bury it, hit piece after hit piece. I think Warren Buffet and Jim Cramer are the only ones upset, everyone who's holding right now look pretty fcking good.
Nick can't help but contribute nothing.
