If you possessed the ability to change one major geographic location on a continent and change it to another (For example: Make the Sahara Desert Green in our time, Place Great Lake equivalents in South America, Flatten the Himalayan mountain range) what would you change and how would it impact the history of that region?

In your video on China you said that you only give a 20% chance of them becoming a superpower. If China is a paper tiger than what should the main focus of US foreign policy be? Is it likely that the Two-Party System will end in the US? In the past few days Russia has put 100,000 troops on its border with Ukraine. Do you think a war will happen and if so, would the US get involved?

Do you think a constitutional Monarchy in America (the likes of which were in Prussia) would 1. Be likely to happen in America? And 2. Be an improvement to American politics? Personally I think it would be a major improvement given that as America grows larger, a Democracy/Republic being done on a national scale becomes less feasible without some sort of neutral party intervening from time to time. Also do you think the First Past The Post system will eventually go away?

1. What are your thoughts on Biden's infrastructure package? 2. In response to economic hardships prompted by the pandemic, governments have been spending and printing massive amounts of money. Will the U.S. in particular be subject to a severe dollar devaluation, hyperinflation, and another drop in credit rating? I know this sounds outlandish, but it seems like the national debt has become irrelevant and the U.S. economy "too big to fail" like the dinosaurs. 3. Are unions in the workplace still relevant? 4. What if the assassination attempts on Gerald Ford or Ronald Reagan were successful?

Who would have won in a fight, Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln?

Do not overestimate Prussia. Although very efficient in its time, Prussia was a regimental society (people said that the army owned the state, not the other way around) incompatible with the libertarian American culture. A regime as authoritarian and militaristic as Prussia would be resented both by the Americans and the rest of the world. The military and demographic might of the US combined with the aggressiveness of imperial Germany would be too big a threat for America to keep any ally. There are more democratic solutions to the US current problems.

Is European Union really a thing politically speaking? You've said that the EU would fall apart without American leadership but from an insider perspective it seems the EU and the US have pretty much nothing to do with one another. The EU is a strong economic system with little political power. All European governments know their economy benefit from the EU so won't destroy the common market, but are still too chauvinistic to give the EU real political, military or diplomatic powers. So I don't think the US getting more or less involved would change anything.

Frequently when South America gets mentioned in your videos, it typically is a continent full of broken nations with corrupt governments and lots of social unrest. A few weeks ago you published your map on which issues hold which nations back from becoming significant players in their respective regions. Again South America is promptly shown to be held back by its social issues. This made me wonder, how does a state that is plagued by its distinct lack of institutional development and social matters reform itself? Which of the South American nations is closest to doing it? How would you reform these countries and can you mention nations in the past managing to do it?

I've read in many places that Bengal was at verge of industrialization in the 18th century. Did India really have the social/economic/political/cultural conditions to enable an industrial revolution? If so, imagining it remained indpendendent, would it have an condition to compete globally with European for markets?

Why didn't the Anglo Saxon world have strong communist movements, while in democratic countries in continental Europe such as France, Italy and Germany they were such important forces, many times being close to winning elections, or even taking part in parliamenteary governments?

1. Turchin. What have you read by him? Where would you recommend people start? Can we have a video overviewing his work from your perspective in particular? Is Turchin a super hero? 2. The Renaissance sparked a Golden Age of Power in Italy via Capitalism. Industrialism sparked a Golden Age of Power in Britain. The US seems to have inherited the British Empire in some form of global Capitalism---and prolonged the empire via its technological innovation. If technology or a change in social arrangements shifts the "gravitational center of capitalist power" in the next 100 years or so, what might cause it? How do we aim our society at such power to keep the English speaking world dynamic and powerful? Love you dude. Godspeed on the work.

1. What is your opinion on Ayn Rand? 2. Who did you vote for in the American elections? 3. What if Israel lost the six-day war? Would it still exist?

How do you personally define different political/ social systems as more or less moral/beneficial for humanity? Is there an objective(ish) way to create a hierarchy of best to worst socio-political systems in your opinion?

I'm actually very curious of what if Europe hadn't colonized Australia? Just wondering what kind of civilization it would have ended up being. I'm not sure how broad of a subject that is, but it just randomly popped in my headspace.

I have a few China and Rome Questions, I'll try to keep them short How different are ethnically Chinese minorities (e.g. Hakka, Yi, etc.) from the Han Chinese? Where is it in the spectrum of going from state to state in the US or country to country? Who would've been the more revolting emperor to the Roman elite, Elagabalus or Commodus? How likely do you think it is that China puts up a firewall against cryptocurrencies/bans it in the near future? Does Gallienus get a bad wrap as emperor? Also when would you put the start date of the crisis of the 3rd century, seems like people put it back to the Severans or all the way up to Maximinus Thrax? In the event of a US-China war how likely (you can just say likely or unlikely) that these civil wars break out/are propped up? 1) Thai Color Revolution against the monarchy 2) Islamic Insurgency on Mindanao (Philippines) 3) West Papua revolt from Indonesia 4)Any insurgency by a minority group in India (e.g. Muslims in Kashmir, Communists in the Northeast) 5) Rohingya revolt against Burma 6) Balochi or Pashtun revolt in Pakistan

Regarding the Spanish Empire. I've heard all about their shortcomings, their inefficiencies and their decline. But, what did they do right? How did they create such a large empire and how did they keep it for such a relatively long amount of time? TLDR: What was the Spanish Empire good at?

In Greenland, the recent elections were won by the parties opposed to the rare earth mine project. The mine would have partially relieved world reliance on China for these strategic resources. Will foreign pressure enable the extraction to begin anyway? In either case, what are the consequences in the power play China vs the world?

Kind of a weird question, but what would a Sumerian/Babylonian style irrigation society look like in a world where most of the populace had modern firearms? You've talked about how these societies tend to be God-king aristocracies or theocracies. Would the peasantry having guns weaken the central government's ability to oppress them and lead to more social mobility/equality, or would the government still be able to stifle any rebellion due to their monopoly on irrigation and the water supply?

After watching your crisis of the 21centry you said with half the population the world would be a utopia. I hate to play devils advocate but what is the minimum amount of people you could kill to get a world like that and from what groups? Also would killing everyone in the world over 65 and those who are relatively poor for each nation result in a world like this? You also said you don’t know if we would have had a technological Revolution before crisis point. What if we did have one before crisis point?

"What If Teddy Roosevelt was killed in World War 1" He had approval from Congress to go to Europe but Woodrow Wilson said no, I'm not sure what kind of effect on morale that would have but I'm pretty sure Americans would like Germans a lot less, maybe America would join the second world war right away.
