0:00.0	And the greatest lie ever told is the complete fabrication on the information of human nature.
0:06.4	When 99% of human generations disagree with us, we should think about whether or not we're wrong.
0:12.1	Gen Z has 90% less lying power at the same age that boomers had.
0:18.2	You can correlate inflation with social collapse.
0:22.4	If you were to look back at 2010 and you were to write up a story, what would a 15-year period of America's descent
0:28.1	into a civil war look like? I could not tell you how it would be different from what we've seen.
0:35.9	What are the historical parallels that you see that make you believe that we're going to have as Americans a civil war in the next five years?
0:44.4	That's a good question to start on. And there are four historic conflicts that I think are proxies. And for those who aren't familiar with my work,
1:00.8	I predict that the world is on the verge of two crises, a political and a demographic and psychological. So I look at, for the political crisis, the thing I look at is the English
1:08.5	Civil War, the French Revolution, the fall of the Roman Republic, and the American Civil War.
1:14.0	And the way my mind works is I have multiple simulations in my head.
1:18.5	And then from that, I figure out which of these simulations the new facts I see fits into.
1:25.7	So I say this is a parallel to the fall of the Roman Republic.
1:28.3	This is a parallel to the English Civil War. And through that, I like one of my catchphrases I'm
1:35.0	betting against God. And what that... What do you mean by that? So the world is infinitely complex. It's
1:40.7	infinitely big. To be able to predict facts accurately and the future accurately,
1:44.5	you have to predict all the variables because everything's connected. That's impossible.
1:48.9	So my standard is I don't, I'm just figuring stuff out. I'm going to be wrong and I accept that.
1:56.0	And so I operate under the assumption that I don't have complete knowledge. And so I try to look at the new events that hit me every year with eyes as unclouded as possible. And so I don't have any pretensions to getting the answer right all the time or even being correct. I'm just trying to figure stuff out. Once the mind is not enslaved to its own
2:18.6	creations, it can be free, if you know what I mean. Okay. So with that, you're willing to be wrong.
2:25.5	Yeah. You're looking for these parallels in history. And I've heard you say that if you're not looking at
2:31.0	history to know where we're going tomorrow, you're literally just making it up. Exactly.
