Source refs: `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0019`, `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0020` - definition: Jiang uses Geist as a name for the universe and glosses it through ghost, gist, and geyser: underlying presence, essence, and eruptive becoming. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0015`, `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0016` - model: Jiang argues that intellect severed from culture, nation, and people cannot produce great ideas because ideas emerge from belonging and community. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-zprecjhuous@transcript:v1#seg-0049`, `video:predictive-history-zprecjhuous@transcript:v1#seg-0050` - model: Jiang adopts a bicameral/right-left brain model in which the right hemisphere receives vibrations or the noumenal universe and the left hemisphere translates them into everyday reality. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-4ehovunrsrw@transcript:v1#seg-0023`, `video:predictive-history-4ehovunrsrw@transcript:v1#seg-0024` - model: He uses Hegel's Geist as the answer: the noumenon is spirit world, time and space come from one source, and shared reality is possible because the same source structures experience. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-9murgjjg4aa@transcript:v1#seg-0030` - model: Hegel's Geist is introduced as the answer to Kant's three problems: what reality is, who gives humans filters, and how people perceive the same world. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-btlwoqwlm9q@transcript:v1#seg-0039`, `video:predictive-history-btlwoqwlm9q@transcript:v1#seg-0040` - model: Jiang says Geist answers Kant's problems by making the real world spiritual rather than material, giving humans filters, and aligning human perceptions through a shared source. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-btlwoqwlm9q@transcript:v1#seg-0041` - definition: Jiang defines Putin as a possible Hegelian world-historical figure and Nietzschean Ubermensch: a man who steps outside history to control and redirect it.
