3. This estimate brought you by feelings. Feelings, they’re easier to think with than logic.

4. 33% chance of civil war begs a lot of questions. You can’t just drop that without supporting it. Why not 10%? Why not 80%?

   A lot of his views are about reforming capitalism so lower classes live better…producing more stability.

   Ultimately, people like this do interviews to sell themselves and their product, in this case a hedge fund some people can buy into.

   His views are about destabilization are likely sincerely held (vs just a sales pitch alone). It can be both. As an investor, his money is likely being put where his mouth is.

   His book, [*The Changing World Order*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Changing_World_Order)*: Why Nations Succeed and Fail* was published in 2021. (something else he’s promoting when doing interviews, directly or not.)
