His name is Professor Jiang, and the reason he could see all of this coming when almost nobody else did is that he's using a very specific framework that you're going to want to understand that has led him to some startlingly accurate conclusions.

Now, if you're like me, section four is going to make you mad, but it's worth understanding if you wanna know what's going on and how to position yourself to win.

Welcome to part one, the framework that predicts the future.

In May of 24, Professor Jiang's lecture predicting this war had fewer than a thousand views.

When the bomb started falling on Iran, however, it went to a million views in just 72 hours.

The world suddenly needed to know, how did this guy see this coming?

Jiang's framework combines three things, game theory, historical pattern recognition, and something he calls predictive history, something that he borrowed from Isaac Asimov, namely that large-scale human behavior follows structural patterns that repeat across centuries, not because people are predictable, but because the economic and geographic forces acting on them are.

strip away the personalities, the ideology, the news cycle noise, and you can see where things are actually headed.

That's how he called this war two years early.

And that's the lens that we're gonna use right now.

And our first stop is 1971.

When Nixon cut the dollar loose from gold, the dollar should have collapsed, becoming just another fiat currency drowning in its own debt.

But it didn't.

Instead, it was saved by one of the most consequential backroom deals in modern history, a one-two punch that rewired the entire global economy and kept the dollar indispensable, not by law, but by structural necessity.

The new system has a name.

We call it the petrodollar.

And Iran is the country that sits on top of the one geographic choke point that can bring the whole system to its knees.

And that's why every time you turn around, a US president, not just Trump, is saying, we have got to do something about Iran.

When you've got a madman that lives on the same street as your company headquarters,

and he's constantly waving a gun around, threatening your livelihood, odds are you're gonna feel some type of way about that.
