Key Notes
model
Jiang says eschatology, geopolitics/economics, and history/hubris are distinct factors in war but often converge, and convergence across vectors is what makes prediction possible.
evidence
Jiang says he posted predictions publicly because he truly believed them and wanted a historical record that could prove or disprove him.
model
Jiang says his 2024 predictions were not mystical: public evidence from Trump's Iran escalation history, donor and ally pressure, Gaza, Ukraine, and Democratic weakness made Trump victory and Iran escalation fairly predictable.
model
Jiang says that combining psychology with game theory let him predict major events and that long email exchanges with David Bromwich sharpened this analytical framework.
prediction
He says Biden's presidency made a Trump victory in 2024 very likely in his analysis.
