Transcript:
Speaker 0 (0s): Good morning. All my friends, Hey guys, doing that there. I missed you yesterday. I was thinking about you. I was like, I wonder what everybody's doing. I wonder if they miss me cause you know what? Dammit, I miss you guys. I miss you guys, man. But I have a little time to think yesterday. And I've been going down the deep dark rabbit hole, the deep, the rabbit hole of technology rising in the pathway of supply chains and mapping the future of global civilization. 

And I've been getting into that book, Parag, Conner, and I've been comparing and contrasting it with Patrick Wood. And I came up with a little bit of analysis and I just want to run it by you guys here and to let you know what I think, I think that what you're seeing right now is the inevitable clash of civilizations between the United States and China. It's a clash of cultures. It's a clash of ideas. It's a clash of governing. 

It's a clash of leadership styles. I think there's something called the acidities trap. And that is when a young power is coming up and will soon take the place of the older power, much like the U S did to Britain. And if you go back in history, you can look that up and check it out. So I know most people can't see this, but you can listen to it. So I will work hard and try to describe exactly the maps that I saw so that I can paint you a mental picture of them. 

Hopefully there'll be clear if you close your eyes to think of a map of China for all my friends in Europe, and this will be way easier for you than my friends in America. Alright. That means to all my friends in America, but to step your game up, but to start checking out a globe, I'm just playing. I can talk a little shit to you guys, cause I love you. Okay. So close your eyes. Think of China and then think about the coast of China and then draw with your finger. 

A small circle around all the little cities. Well, they're not so little, but all the cities along the coastline of China, they're like their own entities. The cities in China, that economic model is a lot like the States in the United States, except they're based on the city model. That would mean that the governor of that city is a lot like the president has a lot more authority and is governed by looser laws. 

As long as you achieve the goal that is set forth by the governing body of the nation, you're free to utilize whatever methods you need to use in order to accomplish that goal. Now close your eyes and think of the United States. You can think of all the different States and all the lines that are crossed and 

Speaker 1 (3m 32s): States are a lot larger than cities, especially 

Speaker 0 (3m 40s): In the United States because the United States is so vast and so big. There are some States that are not economic powerhouses. There are some States that in fact, don't provide a whole lot of economic resources to the whole. And on the flip side, there are some States that are like the seventh largest economy in the world. But what's important to think about is how each country has divided up the authority in the U S we have the president congresses, but each state is its own entity in China. 

They have the mega city model. And I'm going to argue that the mega city model is in fact, the preferred method for technocratic government and that you're seeing something like that happen in the United States. I wrote a little bit on this subject. I'd like to read t
