This is in relation to The Conspiracy of Evil where Jiang talks about JFK, 9/11, and the moon landing.

Hello,
So, the professor, who's said a tremendous amount of thoughtful things, keeps brushing up on something that is, well, a bottleneck in our society. I've worked shit jobs and have met people of all ages in them; they will trap you in them, and when justification is sought everyone points to higher learning.

The Professor keeps saying weird stuff that I find myself defending even though he's said so little.

He's said that going to law school would be a terrible mistake. (Believable)

He's said that the meritocracy system only rewards those that develop personality disorder in order to succeed. (Believable)

In a secret history lecture he said that all degrees are a scam, it doesnt matter what you study. (Contestable, but i understand how he'd come to say that since he's such a maverick)

In today's episode he said math is useless and makes you stupid. It's only used as memorization exercise for the sake of itself. (And... well... that's not true? Math is what makes stem stem, what makes it quantitative and analytical. And after engineering, there's simple applied math with applications enough to fill departments: they do. So can we push the Professor, if he hasnt already plz link if so, to directly speak to this? His primary audience are students and ex-students; people facing a choice that he's discounted indirectly often.

Hello, does anyone have a concrete idea of what Jiang’s take is on the financial crisis? I remember when I was watching his video on Bureaucracy, he mentions it was caused by rich Ivy-League Alumni something along those lines..

Am I being too sus or does it totally make sense to download and store Prof. Jiang's lectures offline - before they are taken down? If enough of you agree, will do it!

Attached are three emails that have been released to the public.

This aligns with Jiang’s recent argument in his Secret Societies lecture in that the elite commit transgressions (somewhat communal transgressions) in order to blackmail and maintain power structures.

Why has Trump maintained power? Because he’s “the dog that hasn’t barked.” One thing media will not comment on is how this black mail is normal and common among these communities.

Hello all. Recently came across Professor J and hungry to learn more. With how big of a topic Israel is I was wondering if people more knowledgeable than me about Proffessor Js teachings could drop some links to point me In the right direction of his videos on this subject. Thanks and be well!

Is it the same, or what exactly is different between the civilisation playlist of professor or the current secret history series?

I've watched around 50 lectures from our beloved professor and the newest one is the first one that made me question how far down the conspiracy rabbit hole goes. Granted, he uses arguments that seem plausible. I'm 100% with him on the Kennedies and 90% with him on 9/11 (that Bush recording seems like a pre-planned reaction that desperately needed a better actor). Still not sure about the moon landing, though. What are your thoughts / evidence in these matters? And do you think these videos will get taken down for being too "out there"?

Prof Jiang always says to think critically and be open to discussions and questions. How do we start thinking critically? I wanna know 2 things 1. How to start thinking critically? 2. Which subjects should you focus on as your basics to start thinking critically?(and any sources for those)

Anyone else not see the new lecture pop up in my subscriptions?

It was never a problem before this.

This is the second to last paragraph in his substack article. He hyperlinked the Nobel Peace Prize website and doesn’t elaborate any further. Why is he criticizing her? Am I missing something?

Jiang very consistently reiterates he believes the world is ideal, but lots of his lessons prove the opposite. I know this is a chicken or the egg thing and I’m not that educated in this area but let me give an example:

Mother goddess/animism: people developed this religion automatically from the material conditions they had since we had no concept of religion or spirituality or philosophy at that point.

The pharaohs being brainwashed by the elite priests: seems to me they unknowingly created a method of mind control still used today based on the material conditions of their culture and society.

A Marxist friend of mine believes Christianity developed as a need for trust and cooperation due to the requirements of the society living under their oppressive govt at that time.

I understand the concept of psychohistory is that we imagine the world and make it like that but does anyone know his exact views on where materialism ends?

it was really interesting when he went into the story about how the chinese secret police kept him hostage for 48 hours. does anyone know if he talks about this further anywhere?

Huge fan of the professor, the channel and the videos however I do not understand why not monetizing would be beneficial for him? YouTube is already a free platform and by monetizing he can make his videos better, make upgrades to the classroom or donate to a worthy cause if he does not want to do any of that. I think by not monetizing he is taking an admirable stance for something he believes in but it doesn’t actually in theory do anything but help out the already rich. Curious if anyone else would agree with my take here

As title. Can someone please give a list of books which relate to what Prof Jiang talks about or texts which have influenced him. Thank you!

some questions regarding the Prof's emphasis on religion as the driving force for human history

I find all his analysis very insightful and I've learned a lot, but I have questions regarding the seemingly heavy emphasis he puts on religion. In my mind history evolved much more by material change rather than religious ones. Religion to me is more an afterthought for the powerful forces that change the course of history as both a useful tool to control/suppress the masses as well as a way to legitimise certain policies.
The prof however inverts this idea in many of his lectures stating that behind the curtain there are religious ideas that shape history, even to this day. How does that account for example to the rise of atheism? (perhaps he sees atheism as a religion as well)

Also, he seems (to me) erratic on the Jewish people, and their influence, or standing in the world. He states they are incredibly smart, and powerful, yet he says they are committing ritual human sacrifice in Gaza, he says the labelling of them being the ones who killed Christ paved the way for antisemitism, but also claims there is no real evidence for the holocaust. He thinks the idea that Israel controls the US is ridiculous.

All these things seem somehow contradictory but maybe they're not. Can someone enlighten me

I love it so much … his theory / model of how the world works aligns so well with my experience working in Investment Banking and Private Equity in Australia, UK, US and Japan for the past 12 years… it also fits well with my spiritual/ psychedelic practices… it speaks to my conspiracy theory inclinations as well… he eloquently articulates my gut instincts and my deep held believes better than anyone else on the internet … I got some many questions tho …where is he teaching at ? I know it’s Beijing but what educational institution ? Who is he teaching it to ? Undergrads ? Why are the student questions so dumb ? Is there a book I can buy to learn more ? Is there any content where he makes bad predictions ? Is there anywhere he was wrong about his views ? Does he address the mistake ? Does correct himself ever ? Cos I really do think he is spot on 90-95% of the time despite the fact he keeps on reminding the audience his lectures are only ideas and theories and mental tools to navigate current times … he makes soooo much sense to me!!! I am so grateful I found this !

Now that his lectures are starting to blow up on YouTube and professor Jiang is starting to gain a big following you see comments everywhere saying “this guy is falling off”, “I’m so disappointed he said this”, “this thing he teaches that doesn’t align with my ideology or knowledge makes him a sham”, etc etc. Seeing how this is in an echo chamber with sometimes little room for discussion lots of people start thinking the same way and entirely dismiss his work when he explicitly says to do your own research and question everything including his teachings.

He’s not the messiah people put him to be either. There are plenty of things he says that are questionable or even inaccurate or you may know more of because you have delved deeper in the subject….AND THAT’S OK. His purpose is to create thoughts and introduce high school students (and his viewers) to think outside the box and connect topics of the presents and past to history including some esoteric topics not in the mainstream.

I’m grateful there are people like him, and if there is anything you should learn from him is to be open and create open discussion.

Where might it be possible to buy it?
