If you are under 40 and live in America or Europe, this is the most important social media post you will ever see.

What I am about to tell you will be difficult for you to accept.

For most of you, it will make no sense, it will be inconceivable; this idea isn't even on your radar.

It is an asian century.

Everything you have been taught to believe needs to be thrown out.

We (the West) had a good run, but it's their turn now.

Power is shifting from the West back to the East and you need to adapt or you will live a mediocre life.

We have been propagandized to believe that this could not happen, that this idea is ridiculous, even that it's not safe to go there.

It's not true.

Again, I am sorry to say, but you will have to adapt to this new world.

Or you will live a mediocre life.

Here are 5 posts that, together, will blow your mind (if it is open):

1. The first (quote tweeted) was shadowbanned on TikTok. It will teach you what is happening in China. The powers that be do not want you to know.

2. The second explains why power is going to shift from West to East. The presentation does so quickly, powerfully, and visually.

3. The third is an in-depth conversation about how China is an underrated force on the global stage. For those not yet convinced (or interested in learning more), listen in.

4. In the fourth, I explain to Tucker Carlson how China is continuing to not only deindustrialize the United States, but de-innovate us, too. If we do not recognize this reality, we will be major economic trouble.

5. Finally, I explain how China is teaming up with Southeast Asia to create an absolute economic powerhouse that will define the global economy for the next 30 years.

Yes, I'm asking you to watch a lot of videos and yes, in a way, it's self-promotion but from the bottom of my heart, you need to watch these videos because they are going to open your mind up to a reality, that, if you don't prepare for it, is going to hit you like a tsunami.

Let me tell you a short story about the ignorance we have in the West for Asia.

A few months ago, I spoke to a waiter from Mexico who said that he doesn't want to live in MX because "it's too dangerous".

When I asked him why he chose to live in the US:

"It's the best, I've been everywhere: Latin America, Canada, USA, Europe."

He had been everywhere but he had never been to Asia, it wasn't even on his radar.

This is a typical viewpoint in Europe and the Americas.

And it is wrong, and if you don't wake up to the reality that Asia is snowballing into a huge military and economic force you could lose your career and lifestyle.

So that is why I'm asking you to watch these videos, because this is a powerful message that needs to get out here, not just for "the West" but for you. Knowing this will make you money, will save you from losing your time and money investing in the wrong ways and places.

There is one more thing I want to tell you.

If this thread gets play on X, you are going to see countless people attack me for being wrong, for being unpatriotic, or even for being a foreign agent.

Ask them where in Asia they've been. If they've been (unlikely), ask them when. If they can't tell you a recent visit to a major country in Asia, particularly East Asia (China is the most important one right now by far), ignore them. This shift is happening fast and is accelerating and they just don't know what they're talking about.

If we want our countries in the West to thrive, the best thing we can do is open our eyes, travel abroad, learn from others, and acknowledge the reality of what is happening, so that we can ADAPT TO IT.

So, please watch the 5 videos, bounce around as needed, learn, like, and share.

If you have an open mind, you won't be disappointed.

And if I've convinced you, GO!

Venture out, go to Asia, and see a whole new world that will blow your mind.

What I learned from having a video go viral:

1. Guess which of the following social networks shadowbanned the video: Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok?

(this is a thread)

It was Tiktok!

My allegedly "pro-china" video got shadowbanned on the allgedly "pro-china" app lol

Even though I submitted an appeal and it got approved that video is now dead.

I posted on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tiktok...how did each do?

WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE CULTURE.

Our generation was deceived into believing that children were an unnecessary burden that meant the end of independence and an enjoyable personal life.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here are 365 reasons to have kids, 1 per day: REASON #1 TO HAVE KIDS:

You know that hole you have?

The one you tried to fill with money, sex, relationships, alcohol, or drugs?

Kids fill it.

I criticized Amazon’s policies in a blogpost.

Now, their lawyers are trying to ruin me.

This is a thread on:

1. What I said about Amazon
2. How Amazon's lawyers have retaliated
3. Why it matters to Amazon customers, sellers, stockholders, and even Amazon itself twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image Four years ago, I wrote an article.

It had a simple message:

1. Amazon doesn't allow sellers to price their products for less off-Amazon.

2. If they do, Amazon hides their products.

3. This keeps prices off-Amazon high, which is bad for consumers.

I never thought I’d get dragged for this 😂

1. We paid over $25,000 in trucking bills in the past 2 weeks.

2. I let every single trucker use our bathrooms free of charge including whoever put paper towels in the toilet causing the warehouse to be flooded

(Continued) 3. We paid a ton of money to build this warehouse and pour this concrete and we let that guy stay but he is actually blocking other trucks from docking. How would you like it if I parked a truck in front of your driveway?

Last time I tweeted something like this I was wrongfully suspended from Twitter but I think the following is smart.

In the 1800s surgeons did surgeries without washing their hands, going from patient to patient, sharing disease.

That is until this guy: Image Believe or not, a lot of people were resistant to washing their hands.

So what’s my point?

Based on my reading of studies and some common sense, I bet we could greatly reduce disease transmission by encouraging people to gargle and nasal spray after likely disease exposures. Image

If you think IQ is really important, then you're probably not that smart.

Sorry, but it's true.

@hsu_steve has an IQ of over 160 but can't even win a twitter fight against me and my 88 iq The point is that IQ misses so many different things in its measurement that make people effective.

Some predictions that I’m probably not qualified to have but that I think will be right anyways:

1. Amazon’s aws is going to get a lot less profitable. Their early lead is dissipating and the market everywhere is getting more competitive and with GPT transitioning from one Image cloud provider to another will be easier than ever
2. SEA and Latin America are going to massacre these companies’ capital. US is at a disadvantage for this stuff because of the foreign corrupt practices act, which other countries do not have (it prevents foreign bribes).

I have tried to avoid discussing this publicly but as the risks to world war 3 increase, seemingly by the week, I feel compelled to say something:

Western Europe and the US need to stop supplying Ukraine with military equipment and need to negotiate a losing peace treaty. Why I believe a losing peace treaty needs to be negotiated:

1. Russia is winning this war
2. Russia is going to win this war
3. 10,000s of people are dying by the month
4. The country of Ukraine is being totally destroyed

1. Nyc airport
2. Massive snowstorm delays flight for 15+ hours

(Continued) 7. Get ripped off by fake cab and dropped off in a construction site

9. Find hotel. Now 4 am.
10. Decide to tie my baggage to my legs and sleep in lobby to save hotel bill for night
11. Go to Beijing big train station
12. Impossible to buy a ticket but do it

You can read my old tweets to confirm, but I’ve been saying for a while now that inflation is far from done. If anything, the worst is probably ahead of us. Anyways, one of the reasons why I think that is what Covid did in China. It killed old workers. That’s inflationary. More kids => more demand, no change in supply => inflationary

Less workers => supply falls more than demand => inflationary

There are many inputs into inflation and you never know which will overpower another, but identifying the cause effect still feels useful.

I’m finding that if you have dietary restrictions it’s highly unlikely that you will have a positive experience at anything but the most boutique high-end restaurants.

That sounds elitist, but it’s just a practical observation based on my experience.

From mcdonald’s to Buffalo Wild Wings to red lobster to even capital grille, there’s just too high a chance that they get it wrong.

- Cross-contamination
- miscommunication between waiter and kitchen
- not realizing, for example, that garlic powder is garlic

If you are not competing differently, you are not going to make any money.

Amazon is our competitor.

What can Amazon not do?

Wholesale.

Amazon's fulfillment operations (and fee structure) are not set up for large quantities of multiple SKUs.

🧵👇 So we're doing what Amazon cannot and offering big buyers ($200+ at wholesale prices) nice discounts at wholesaleeducationaltoys.com

If you’re a founder it doesn’t make sense to own public market stocks.

Why own stocks that aren’t your company?

To diversify? For that to work it needs to be outside your industry, which implies that you’re outside your area of competence.

Because you’ll get better returns? Then you should sell your company and just buy more stock.

Because you own the index and that’s diversified? Then your business must be countercyclical for that to work. What business performs well when the market drops 30%?

Because it’s more interesting than you business?

I am American and I am concerned.

I have not had power for two straight days because some branches fell on some power lines after an ice storm whose ice melted after one day.

Our supply chains are brittle and we lack willing trained people to fix these types of problems. This is a complete embarrassment for the biggest economy in the world and this type of event is going from a “huh that’s weird” to an increasingly regular occurrence.

One of my team members told me that he was worried that he was "being a Karen".

I explained to him that, while no one wants to be rejected by others/society, labels are usually nonsense and are oftentimes used to control other peoples' behavior.

1/4
In my personal experience, the people who accuse others of being:

- a "karen"
- racist
- unpatriotic
- a creep
- weird

etc.

tend to share many of the characteristics of those labels themselves, especially in action, not words (talk is cheap).

One of the reasons why public train transportation fails in the United States is the necessity of a car once you arrive.

And if you’re going to need a car when you get there, you might as well drive.

Here’s an idea that reduces carbon emissions, frustration, and time wasted: The California high speed rail between Palmdale and Merced/Gilroy shouldn’t only take people as passengers.

It should take cars.

It’ll be decades before california can build from those endpoints into the semi-walkable cities so those tracks will never get used without this.

How to make a baby in your 30s: Kids rock and many people in their 30s struggle to make them.

I figured it’d be helpful if I listed some tips and tricks to make it easier, since it’s an awkward topic that is difficult to get information on.

I am not a doctor but I think I can be helpful anyways.

I am disturbed by what happened in Monterrey, California.

There are two main types of gun violence in the US.

For this type, we could greatly reduce it with a palatable to all parties law that requires purchase of high capacity magazines/firearms to have two responsible people. In other words, you could greatly reduce this type of gun violence without banning high capacity magazines/firearms but requiring that not one but two separate people are jointly and severally responsible for what is done with the gun/ammo.
