Source refs: `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0015`, `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0016` - prediction: The government does not have infinite bailout capacity, so finance and AI are fighting over which bubble will be rescued after the burst. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0023`, `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0024` - diagnosis: The law of proximity explains the leader killings: domestic factions provide intelligence to external enemies in order to weaken internal rivals. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0040` - diagnosis: Jiang qualifies that he has no direct evidence, but says game theory makes internal civil conflict the best explanation for how leaders are being located and killed. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-noqqgy4boby@transcript:v1#seg-0041` - prediction: Jiang predicts U.S. ground troops will produce a national draft, youth refusal, protests, National Guard deployment, and civil conflict in America. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-spg58glfz68@transcript:v1#seg-0058` - diagnosis: He argues that anti-immigrant violence in Britain after the Southport attack shows how immigration becomes a civil-conflict trigger even when the accused attacker was not himself an immigrant. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-0g3yo1djilm@transcript:v1#seg-0001`, `video:predictive-history-0g3yo1djilm@transcript:v1#seg-0002`, `video:predictive-history-0g3yo1djilm@transcript:v1#seg-0003` - prediction: He predicts increased immigration, civil conflict, and foreign wars as parts of the collapse pattern, not necessarily in a fixed sequence. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-k-l9jbgo74@transcript:v1#seg-0050`, `video:predictive-history-k-l9jbgo74@transcript:v1#seg-0051` - model: He compares Putin's possible failure to Muhammad's death, arguing that a charismatic unifier may almost bind the world but leave civil conflict if he dies too soon.
