Americans
want to feel virtuous. But as America becomes poorer and more
desperate, this virtue will fade away, and the raw, brutal power of
America will express itself throughout the world.
Jiang Xueqin, a Yale graduate with a B.A. in English Literature, is a Beijing-based former Deputy Principal at Tsinghua University High School, and education reformer. Today, he independently teaches anthropology, philosophy, history, and geopolitics to Beijing high school students and runs an English YouTube channel on "Predictive History," using historical patterns, game theory, and geopolitics to forecast global events.
This
will eventually lead to the final conflict — the war between Iran
and the United States. Iran has been preparing for this for a long time,
and ever since 1979, America has been preparing too. This conflict will be World War III, and I cannot overstate how brutal this conflict will be.
It
will bring fundamental changes to the world, and our lives will never
be the same again. Everything we have known in the past will be gone
forever, and we must prepare for a new future. I know this is
depressing. This last year we have gone into the heart of darkness of
humanity, and the world looks more and more terrible. But remember this —
and this is my final message to you:
The
greatest minds of humanity — Homer, Dante, Immanuel Kant — have all
told us the same thing. They have all revealed one secret of the
universe, one message: imagination is the animating force of the
universe, and love is the unifying force of the universe.
What
this means is this: in the darkest times, when all hope seems lost and
there is only despair, any of us can rise up, stand up, and be the light
to lead us forward. That is the task ahead of us if we are to save us.
So remember this: we all have the capacity to imagine, and we all have
the capacity to love. That is what makes us human. In the worst times,
we must defend our own humanity.
