Key Notes
Jiang's Nietzschean name for the person able to step outside history and control its reins; transcript renders the word phonetically as 'ubermutt.'
Jiang defines Putin as a possible Hegelian world-historical figure and Nietzschean Ubermensch: a man who steps outside history to control and redirect it.
Jiang identifies Vladimir Putin as the currently existing world-historical figure or 'ubermutt' who will manipulate the game to achieve his vision and change human history.
