if this is being taught to asian high school kids, what is becoming of urban black high school youth? how is it possible for them to compete in the global marketplace?

i fear what is to become of the black community in the near future.
It was never in americas plans for them to compete in the “global marketplace”

I wish you guys would have said that this dude was a philosopher. I wasted a 45 minutes of my day on this, only for him to get into philosoppocal mumbo jumbo from plato. :unimpressed:

I had never heard of this dude and i thought he was a historian, Then he goes off talking about mystical juju. :snoop:

Plato IS history, dummy.

This world runs on "mystical juju." You don't have to believe in it, just know that 'They' believe in it.

America been at War with Iran since the 80's. Its hardly a bold prediction considering that it came out in 2023 that Trump took home plans on attacking Iran. You can go back further to Dubya's Governments plan was to attack Iran after Iraq which is about 20 years ago. And then before that there's the rumoured plans designed in the 90's to attack/invade Afghanistan Iraq and Iran.

Everyone has to start looking at and acknowledging that the tools for learning are easier accessed today more than ever before. It's the interest that isn't there. Humans spend more time on entertainment than previous generations.

My only issue with him is he gets ALOT wrong about Americans and its culture war. When speaking on race relations and the different perspectives that not only each region but certain communities have he’s usually way off base. The comments are a lot of foreigners from around the world and they tend to agree based on their perception of Americans also.

I'd like to hear you guys thoughts on money. The fact that banks and governments can print it out of thin air and loan it out. He says something to the effect that there is no scarcity because of that. But surely there has to be limting factors like your currency will dip relative to other currencies.. Like look at zimbabwe and their currency. There will be repurcussions in inflation as well i assume.

I get banks can do this an in a way it acts like an IOU but wheres the downside?

I just think doing so means the money no longer holds the same value. a million 100 years ago much more different than a million now with all the money circulating

I kind of agree with him but I’m also ignorant on the subject because I want to know how the US has been in debt for so long but we’re also able to fund our military industrial complex and send billions to Israel consistently

I'm assuming its leveraging of future moneys and then somehow gaming the currency later. Plus I think money now is worth more than in the future. If i owe you a 1000 in 50 years that may be peanuts. Especially if i'm getting my cut off interest and doing things with it that generate money like i'm the big stack at the poker table just swallowing things. Then maybe collapse shyt so its worth nothing. I don;t know. I want someone knowledgeable to speak on it from here.

Not being funny AT ALL, but this is something you should totally google/search on YT for some answers. There are actual finance professionals, economists, historians, etc who discuss these things in detail on social media if you want some answers before investing in books, etc.
