Episode notes
End Of Western Dominance
- Western global dominance that lasted centuries is ending and a multipolar world is now emerging.
- This shift reduces the legitimacy of Western unilateral demands and requires a new global mindset.
BRICS As A Global Counterweight
- BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization represent nearly half the world's population and GDP and are fast-growing blocs.
- They seek normal relations, not vassalage, and resist being told what to do by the U.S.
Demographic And Tech Realities
- The North Atlantic world is now about 10–12% of global population and cannot legitimately claim to run the world.
- Technological and industrial leadership has shifted toward Asia, notably China in multiple strategic industries.
