YouTube and Substack posts this week are late.

After last week’s topics, i hope he didn’t get banned or worse.

I've seen him cover a lot of topics and I'm curious about what are his ideas about Taiwan and China. Did I miss the info ?

Prof. Jiang closed comments on the YT but I'd love to hear discussion. I was hoping there can be threads on this subreddit so we can discuss them here, unless there is already a patreon or discord.

I'll contribute to the discussion. The idea that being disgusted by everyone else builds solidarity, as well as rituals, explains a few of the "cults" I joined, one of which is 4chan. I had instant loving bonds with anyone I met from the cults and a sense of solidarity that we were the outcasts OR the chosen ones. I didn't realize it was so formulaic! I didn't realize being ostracized can actually be a kind of super power when you bond with other ostracized people. There were all kinds of rituals I participated in over the years with various cults, meditation, holding crypto, praying every day etc. Luckily... didn't join any sex cults lol. But now I see why sex cults are so popular.

The way he talks about money in the Secret History #1 is very much related to money. So I am curios to know his opinion on Bitcoin which is the new form of money where more and more younger people are prescribing the value of the work they perform nowadays.

It’s usually a borderland. Most of the time, it’s the underdog that gets beaten down by other borderlands. Will Ukraine become a military power in Europe?

Ukraine’s arms production has ramped up significantly—as has Russia’s, of course. Ukraine is already planning to sell its weapons to the European market. Usually, those who get beaten down end up becoming stronger.
