Never heard of him.
He sounds like a bitch. I didn’t make it 20 seconds.

I've heard him talk a few times. Never seems intelligent to me. He talks as if things are locked in and that no changes will be made between now and some prediction that he's made.

I’m at 1:40 and he does seem like a bitch. However he says he left twitter because it opened up free speech on the platform, whereas under previous ownership they got rid of people like us.

Ironically this site does the same thing where it moderates what it doesn’t want. Which is fine because it’s a private company.

Peter Zion is just pissed because his geopolitical predictions concerning Ukraine, Russia and China are collapsing.

I'm not super familiar with the dude. I'm somewhat familiar with the birth of Stratfor at LSU, but that was a little bit after my time. And he didn't land at Stratfor until after they moved to Austin.

I thought they went defunct after Friedman left.

I think they're still a going concern as a brand under Rane.

I like him for the most part. I recommend him as someone to listen to while listening to others to form a point. If you buy into one person you're an idiot

Love Zeihan, I listened to the video.
The whole time I was thinking, it’s not about Twitter, it’s Musk, just be honest Peter.

How so? What claims did he make?

I listened to him for a few months after Rogan podcast. Then realized he has no clue what’s gonna happen and is a self promoter. Bye bitch

He is a left leaning neocon. He misses his echo chamber.

Doesn't mean he isn't a great analyst, or that he isn't on point a lot. Just means that he liked twitter with more censorship.

And to a degree it is definitely personal.
Like his takes on the populist right, and Trump.

Still a great watch and a great analyst. Just bear in mind that he is one of those left leaning neocons who used to have a home in the Rep party.

used to pay attention to Ziehan but have increasingly come to the conclusion he is only semi-aware of the things he predicts.

and if you watch him, he has a way of going into professed omniscience.

I suspect many on the left will leave Twitter due to the push back conservatives give their stupid ideas.

Leftists aren’t used to resistance or disagreement of any kind so to them debate feels like persecution.

He has good insights internationally, terrible insights domestically, and he’s tiny balls deep in the Ruling Class cocktail party circuit. He couldn’t handle his opinions being critiqued inelegantly from his right. This was inevitable.

He is correct about Chyna/Russia and their populations. But that will play out over the next couple of decades...
 
I still catch up with his videos from times to time.
Not a bad idea to have another perspective to take in.

He actually thinks bidenomics is working and seems to want the US to continue to be interventionalist.

Zeihan has some good points over demographic decline in a few countries like China but take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt.

Me either. And this is another illustration of why any post that rests on the proposition that “this board” is a unitary, collective entity is usually an exercise in the fallacy of composition.
