Explanation: this is referencing Professor Jiang from the YouTube channel Predictive History. He makes videos predicting future events. His methodology is 50% pulling out of his ass and 50% basic common sense. For some reason, many people, and several news channels, have designated him as a genius
God I hate YouTube commenters who just worship the YouTuber like they're some kind of literal deity. Its crazy how so many humans seem to need that kind of figure in their life. And it's even more annoying how they always comment so solemnly, like you can tell they just want others to see them as such a deep and respectful person, they're so thirsty for other commenter to signal their own deep respectfulness by thanking them for signaling their deep respectfulness and so on.
I get that people are glazing him for stating the obvious and getting on the news, but his argument comparing the overall situation to historical events rather than game theory was actually pretty interesting because everyone has been wanting to know when and what the fall of the US empire would actually look like.
