All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Rerun: Ep68 “Is It Better to Overestimate or Underestimate Your Enemies?” with H.R. McMaster · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

And I'm saying we just seem to overestimate.

I mean, and to me, the big question about China, how much are we overestimating the Chinese threat, both economically and militarily?

I mean, I don't know.

You look at the United States, you see how powerful our military is.

You see how powerful our nuclear arsenal is.

There's no other country that has nuclear missiles on submarines that nobody knows where they are.

I mean, you know, at some point you wonder, Jesus, do we understand how powerful a country is?

I don't know.

I agree with that.

Actually, Jules, not to take us off topic, but I see the same thing with population.

I just sat through a seminar today.

It turns out, if you look carefully at the data, India is also dropping.

India also has peaked.

Again, I think that the world is not coming to terms with the fact that the world's population has either peaked or will peak in the next 10 years, precisely for the same reason.

They see overpopulation as a terrible thing.

And they see underpopulation is not bad.

In fact, it's the other way around.

I think the economic growth will be entirely due to population growth.

And without that population growth, I think we could be in a very bad shape as far as economic growth is concerned.

Perhaps AI will save us.
