Things feel chaotic right now, but the starting point is simple. We might not be able to control everything happening in the world, but we can control how we treat people, and that’s where change starts.
That’s the philosophy today’s guest kept coming back to throughout our conversation.
Please welcome, Professor Jiang Xueqin to The Diary Of A CEO.
In 2024, Jiang made several predictions that have already come true and the way he approaches these predictions is simple.
He believes that past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. So instead of guessing what might happen next, he studies patterns, incentives and how people and institutions have acted before.
Some of the predictions he’s got right include Trump winning in November 2024 and escalating tensions with Iran. He’s now predicting the US will lose the war and that this will affect the entire global order.
Professor ****Jiang is a Yale-educated geopolitics expert and host of the YouTube channel ‘Predictive History’ who uses theories and historical patterns to predict world events before they happen.
We spoke about:
- Why the US is "really" at war with Iran?
- Why he thinks Donald Trump will get a third term.
- The pentagon document that explains everything…
- What other predictions that he has and believes will come true!
Jiang has spent his career rethinking education from the ground up. He’s worked inside some of the most intense academic environments in the world, and what he’s seen has led him to challenge almost everything we believe about intelligence, success and learning.
What I learned about Professor Yiang during this conversation is that he’s able able to break things down in visual ways that allow people like me who aren't the best when it comes to books and textbooks and weren't necessarily very good in school, to understand concepts in a simpler way, and really to bring them to life in ways that make them actionable and relevant to our lives.
If you’ve been feeling uncertain about where the world is heading and what your role in it is, this episode is worth your time.
