Just finished the interview. Great interview. Neil was right about most things, imho. But hear me out; this is why I think this new cycle will occur sooner than expected:
1. Technology has been speeding up the process of progression at an immensely fast rate in MANY different markets. Just do some research on the biotechnology, AI, energy, auto, and advertising markets. Even warfare (yes, war is a market. Let's not deny that).
2. Obviously, global economic crisis has reached a boiling point. It's at a point of no return and the global population is certainly aware of that. The COVID lockdown only sped up the process.
3. Personally, I don't believe that the current world leaders have faith in themselves. They keep telling the public these dreadful truths, and I don't see why they would make these known if their goal is to gather support from their national population. It doesn't make sense. For example, look at what the President of Egypt recently told the public.
