Why did the School System Fail

This episode dives beneath Middle Earth's surface to reveal the profound historical and philosophical foundations Tolkien embedded as an Oxford professor of Anglo-Saxon literature. What appears as a "silly fairy tale" actually represents both a perfect exemplification of its era AND timeless wisdom that transcends even Tolkien's intentions. Prepare to be shocked by its true depth. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

After nine years making predictions, I'm revisiting my World War III analysis because reality has proven EVEN WORSE than I forecasted. My original video was reasonable, but history has completely changed my assessment. This updated analysis explores who would win modern history's bloodiest conflict, where battle lines would form, and what's truly at stake—potentially our very survival.

History swings like a pendulum—progress exists, but never in a straight line. The left's "right side of history" mantra? DEAD WRONG. Data and historical patterns suggest the pendulum is violently swinging right for the next two decades. As a right-winger myself, I'm actually terrified how far this counter-reaction might go. Prepare to have your worldview shattered. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

With over a billion adherents, the Islamic/Middle Eastern civilization represents a paradoxical historical force - simultaneously the newest AND oldest of the great Eurasian civilizations that have molded our world order. The Islamic world stands at a critical historical inflection point - caught between traditional power structures, Western influence, and internal reformation movements. Their next moves will inevitably shape our historical trajectory as the great civilizational blocs position themselves in this new era of global competition. -- SPONSORS: NETSUITE: More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.
