So whenever you hear somebody talking their opinion on complicated things, you have to listen to some counter points.
I had a far-right friend recommend Zaihan so I gave it a listen. He's pretty cocksure. So I listened to some skeptics and I agreed with the skeptics:
- Super knowledgeable guy
- Gets his opinions straight from facts
- No strong political bias there
- Some bias that America "is doing fine" but ok...
- Ultimate conclusions are a little too sure of themselves....
Like he talks about China having a lower population in 2050 and the likely effects.... but... it's 2050 he's talking about.
Still worth listening, and I (and both skeptics) all say give it a listen...
