This is the final examination session of a year-long game theory course taught by Professor Jung, who is leaving the school to focus on building a global audience through Substack and YouTube. He thanks his students, the school, and his Substack subscribers, then spends nearly two hours answering questions from founding members and YouTube viewers on geopolitics, AI, civilizational decline, personal resilience, and spiritual philosophy.
Geopolitics and the US Decline
The US dollar’s status as global reserve currency is a historical accident that will not survive; when it falls, the world will likely shift to a basket of currencies including gold, pounds, and francs, not collapse entirely.
This transition will take decades, not happen overnight.
A US government debt default is the mechanism by which the Ponzi scheme collapses, at which point the dollar becomes nearly worthless.
The US is not acting in its national interest but in the interest of internal factions: oil companies, Silicon Valley seeking an AI technate, and the military-industrial complex.
Trump’s actions are not about saving America but about enriching his allies and pursuing a third term.
The US strategy of forcing the world to buy its oil and gas to maintain the petrodollar will backfire because it serves factional interests, not national ones.
British capital co-opted America after the Civil War through agents like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt, who were presented as self-made entrepreneurs but were vehicles for British imperial wealth, leading to the Federal Reserve and Bretton Woods.
Many Trump supporters see him as a messiah figure fighting transnational capital in a second 1776, and they have a point.
The US midterms, Trump’s death, or a charismatic Democratic grassroots leader could falsify the prediction of US structural decline, but all are unlikely.
Other Nations and Regions
Israel and Iran: Iran’s primary goal is survival, removing the US from the Middle East, and uniting the Muslim world—not destroying Israel. Iran hates the UAE more than Israel. Israel does not need nuclear weapons to weaken Iran; conventional destruction of infrastructure suffices. If the US is forced into a ground war in Iran, both nations destroy each other, leaving Israel as the last power standing.
Japan: Despite demographic decline, Japan has a unique historical record of resilience—surviving Mongol invasions, the Meiji Restoration, and post-WWII reconstruction—making it likely to reinvent itself again, unlike China.
China: China is ruled by families, not secret societies, which means it lacks eschatological drive and is less dynamic. It is in irreversible decline, historically an accident of geographic isolation. China is a “hallucination of a hallucination”—objectively fragile but unaware of its own fragility.
Russia: Russia’s elite believes in the Third Rome eschatology and Russian supremacy. If Putin dies, internal friction will lead to outward military expansion to reduce domestic tensions, followed by imperial exhaustion. Russia can survive a divorce from China by moving to a total war economy and conquering neighbors.
New Zealand, Canada, Australia: These are not true nation-states but resource colonies of the British Empire undergoing corporate restructuring—populations are being replaced by immigrants (Indians, Chinese, Filipinos) because the native populations have become complacent. This will lead to civil conflict, not war participation.
India: Geopolitically weak due to large population, chaotic politics, and resource constraints. Vedic eschatology is important but not yet studied in depth by the professor.
The Balkans: Historically volatile due to geography, religious conflict, and centuries of animosity; likely to become a proxy war zone between Russia and Europe.
Serbia: Its future depends on three questions: Is it energetic (hardworking)? Is it open-minded (humble, innovative)? Is it cohesive (shared ethnic identity)?
AI, Technology, and the Coming Civil War
AI is an occult project designed to make humans redundant, strip free will, and consolidate control. Its purpose is not to enhance imagination but to structure thinking so the powers that be can control people better.
All technology reduces connection to the Monad (the divine source of consciousness and creativity).
Billionaires invest in AI for power and control, not human flourishing. No one will pay for AI that minimizes conflict and maximizes collaboration.
An AI technate (Stargate project) is the end goal, and it will trigger a second American civil war rather than prevent one, because Christian nationalist factions will eventually realize they are being enslaved by the system they empowered.
The space race, AI hype, and alien invasion narratives are illusions perpetuated by the elite to distract and control.
Public resistance to AI exists because everyone intuitively understands AI’s purpose is to make them worthless.
The Coming Draft and Social Reorganization
A national draft is coming to the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe—not primarily to fight wars but to reorganize society.
Young men are economically unproductive (gambling on Bitcoin, OnlyFans, video games, useless college degrees), and the draft would train them in useful skills (engineering, etc.) for 5–10 years of government service.
There is nowhere to flee; every nation will have drafts or worse problems. The advice is to make yourself useful: read books, learn skills, work hard.
Civilizational Narratives and Decline
The four most powerful civilizations—America (freedom/individualism), Russia (community/tradition), Iran (sacrifice/eschatology), Israel (covenant/history)—have universal narratives that transcend time and space, which is why they dominate geopolitics.
Civilizations decline when their founding narratives insulate them from reality rather than orient them toward it. The American Empire’s refusal to accept its natural death cycle is causing immense suffering.
History works in cycles (rise/fall, summer/winter); it is hubris to believe you can stop history. Empires declining is like earthquakes—natural, unpreventable, only preparable.
White supremacy and structural racism exist but are outgrowths of empire and civilizational arrogance, not the root problem. The root problem is imperial hubris and the human need to believe one’s own community’s stories are superior.
The Monad, Consciousness, and Spirituality
The Monad is the divine source of all creativity, consciousness, and connection. It is real; the material world is illusion.
Connection to the Monad is strengthened by loving other people, reading books, walking in nature, talking to strangers—not by technology.
Connection to the Monad is the greatest happiness: teaching and seeing students learn, hugging a newborn, caring for a sick friend.
Society is a complete illusion—schools, media, culture all teach nonsense. Recognizing this allows you to navigate society better, as Jacob Frank taught.
Consciousness is what is real; the material world (hands, buildings, money) is fake. Realizing this is the key to truth, but 99% of people cannot make this leap.
Beauty is the divine—a glimpse into the divine that shocks you into a new reality. It includes the great books (Homer, Dante) and transformative experiences.
You are born with a purpose assigned to your soul before birth. You choose a defining purpose (to experience wealth, love, etc.) and are placed in circumstances to achieve it. Obstacles are part of the purpose. This is the Vedic concept of samsara.
Personal Advice and Family
The professor’s preparation for collapse is not bunkers or gold but loving his wife and children as much as possible, so they have the inner strength to surmount any difficulty.
His three daily messages to his children: (1) I will always love you no matter what, (2) I believe in you, (3) believe in yourself.
Gold is not a good investment in a collapsing world because its value declines with population and demand. The real challenge in chaos is maintaining faith in yourself and finding courage to rebuild with others.
The best advice for the future: ignore AI, read books (any books), develop critical independent thinking through inner dialogue with yourself.
For young men feeling aimless: failure and depression are stages to be embraced, not avoided. Dante’s Divine Comedy has been the most influential work. A two-week close-reading seminar on Dante will be taught in mid-June.
If forced to move permanently, the professor would consider Botswana, Chile, New Zealand, or Malaysia—stable, far from conflict zones.
Course Transition and Future Plans
This is the professor’s second-to-last class; he is leaving the school to grow his global audience through Substack and YouTube.
Monthly Substack live streams will begin: one for founding members (first session June 7th, 9am Beijing time), one for paid subscribers.
All live streams will be uploaded to YouTube afterward so no one misses content.
He plans to continue teaching and influencing people for the next 50 years.
