- diagnosis: After the Soviet collapse, America's game conquered the world as globalization, but Jiang says it now concentrates wealth among a few players and leaves everyone else in debt. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-txgpfnxgzce@transcript:v1#seg-0013`
- prediction: He says the game must be reset by destroying it through World War III, bringing everything down so it can start over. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-txgpfnxgzce@transcript:v1#seg-0014`
- diagnosis: The universality of the U.S. dollar made a piece of paper socially equivalent to gold and organized life around accumulation even when more money no longer changes consumption. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-zaer-mqe7tq@transcript:v1#seg-0007`, `video:predictive-history-zaer-mqe7tq@transcript:v1#seg-0008`
- diagnosis: Jiang argues that China's post-1980s movement from communism to capitalism exposes the capitalism-versus-communism dialectic as false because the transition was unusually smooth compared with earlier ideological transitions. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-axqdlhws93q@transcript:v1#seg-0001`, `video:predictive-history-axqdlhws93q@transcript:v1#seg-0002`

- model: He presents religion as anti-capitalist because it teaches that money is morally suspect and redirects attention toward redemption, salvation, family, and kindness. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-axqdlhws93q@transcript:v1#seg-0003`, `video:predictive-history-axqdlhws93q@transcript:v1#seg-0004`
