I check out a lot of Youtube videos on various topics, but for coming trends, I like to see these 3 below, as well as others. The first two cover tech and the third covers geopolitics. I also watch Scott Ritter and Col. MacGregor and some China watchers, but Zeihan covers a wider range of political trends. The 2 tech guys below are too bought into the climate change ballyhoo IMO, but their topics are still often interesting and potentially important.
What made me decide to discuss these 3 guys now is having just watched a video by Ferrell and another by Zeihan, which both seem important. Ferrell discussed how AI’s increasing need for more energy has led to big tech companies clamoring for nuclear power, so nuclear is making a big comeback. I’m showcasing his video below the table of Contents.
Zeihan’s video, which I’ll showcase under his section, discussed the possibility of the U.S. annexing Canada. He says Alberta and Saskatchewan are most likely to be the first to apply for U.S. statehood and the rest may follow. He discussed how any of those possibilities may affect people in both countries. Another video that looks interesting of his is on how birthrates can be restored. He talked a lot last year about how birthrates are rapidly declining in many countries, so it will be interesting what he says can reverse the trend, as I haven’t watched that one yet.
But I posted the titles along with the hyperlinks to all of his videos since Trump’s inauguration below. Click on his name in the table of contents to go there directly. I did the same for Ferrell and Ricky (re their videos) for the past year. I’m putting asterisks by the titles that look most interesting to me.
