Jiang treats the Iran shock as a long-cycle pressure system: initial strikes fail, the state shifts to durable economic coercion, and public attention is expected to absorb scarcity, distraction, and control mechanisms as this...
The interview starts with a ceasefire question and ends in a resource apocalypse.
Sneako presses Jiang after the Iran war turns him into a sudden internet figure.
Jiang starts with his own formation story: a bullied immigrant reader, Yale disillusionment, depression, poker, game theory, and then a predictive method that treats society as a game played by distinct personalities.
