The Purpose of Public Intellectuals: @PeterZeihan’s Benevolent Biases

Peter’s (@PeterZeihan) stated he’s slightly left of center. And that position makes complete sense given his history, his career, his knowledge, his market, and even his now vast audience.

Every public intellectual has a bias otherwise we wouldn’t be able to say much of anything with any persuasion or conviction. 😉 In other words, every bias, at least in the abstract assits in decidability. And without some bias not only couldn’t we categorize, use logic, and predict, but we couldn’t decide anything.

IMO the purpose of public intellectuals is to identify opportunities and risks, and the market for the work products of public intellectuals should collectively, not uniquely, inform our decisions both private and public.

As I posted earlier today, there are at least three categories of globalism:
1. information/culture,
2. economic, and
3. political.
The first two are good. The third is very, very, very bad.

Peter Zeihan (@PeterZeihan) is an atlanticist, but not a globalist – at least not a political globalist. But he is very concerned about a future in which the USA, or the anglosphere, or some combination of the anglosphere with europe, maintains the world system of sovereignty, law, finance, and trade.

Because otherwise a whole lotta people are gonna get a whole lot poorer and a whole lotta little wars are going to happene, and there is a whole lotta chances for another world war.
