i read one of his books. There were a lot of good geopolitical insights.

I could even take his statement about bitcoin as a joke. But he is unwatchable now. I also don't think i would read anything written past 2016.

However, I start to call into question his negative outlook for China... I mean it still seems pretty negative for their population. But i'm hoping the power of positive thinking might prop up their civilization.

At some point his thinking stopped reflecting observations of the world and started conforming to some nebulous religion that people who are closed to government military funding sources sort of maintain. Especially since he's GenX and probably participate in any of the wars.

I'm sorry if you're GenX, and I hurt your feelings. But GenX really got to check their privilege.
