For us to get that to happen, we're in a better position if publicly we act nicer to Canada than what we're doing right now. I think from Trump, it's a huge mistake.

I think we've always bullied smaller, weaker countries. The big difference is now we're doing it more openly. I don't endorse that. I actually think the world, to some extent, will get used to it, and it may matter somewhat less than Trump's critics think. But I don't see the upside. With Greenland, I see the upside. It would be great to have Greenland. It wouldn't be great to have Canada.

Anti-wokeness is going to lose the quality of its reputation because people will see more of it. When the woke dominate and the anti-woke are the opposition, everyone loves the anti-woke. Now I think everyone will end up upset at both of them. So in that sense, it's peaked.

I think the entire terms of the debate will change. There'll be cultural chaos. The major issue will shift to AI and how we're going to deal with it and who will gain and lose in status. And we'll forget about all that nonsense, mostly for the better.

Seconded, by the way. And Jordan Schneider and Peter Hessler is a book writer. But it's hard to know what's going on in China. I'm hoping to go back there this year. That's the best thing to do.

Western China, Yunnan province. It has perfect weather for the entire year, arguably China's best food, incredible ham, amazing mushrooms. About half of the population is non-Chinese ethnic groups. And it's just mind-blowing, one of the very best places in the world to see.
