    The takes on this guy on 4chins is funny because it’s clear from the comments none of them have attended a lecture before or advanced beyond the remedial classes they needed to get their HS diploma.

    Like yeah, that’s how education works. You take concepts that everybody understands and build upon them to teach new concepts.

      Who is this guy? Someone else mentioned Man Carrying Thing, but that’s a skit channel, and not in China like another person said.

        Jiang Xueqin, aka Professor Jiang or ‘China’s Nostradamus’, because he makes informed predictions. He has a youtube channel called Predictive History that is portrayed like a 101-level lecture about various geopolitical things, but it’s for the cameras with off-camera “students” asking things now and then. He has some good takes and some bad, and people like to praise him for being really intelligent or shit on him for being a Chinese media op, neither of which are definitively true.

          “Informed predictions” my ass lmao. He states the most obvious shit about geopolitics and then goes off on a creationist/pseudoscientist tangent.
