The digest

Professor Jiang, a figure who claims to be one of the most polarizing in the world, asserts that the world is collapsing. He believes that some investing lessons only become clear after seeing how a call plays out. Jiang has made three to five predictions, structured around 9/11, that he believes will shape the future. He also shares his insights on global supply chains, the petrodollar system, and the geopolitical landscape.

The First Prediction: A Cyber Attack on the US Financial Infrastructure

Professor Jiang's first prediction is that if there is another 9/11 attack, it will be a cyber attack on the US financial infrastructure. He paints a vivid picture: "Imagine one day you open your iPhone, and you're looking to buy a coffee, and all the money in your bank account has been wiped out. And they don't know when or how long it will take them to retrieve it." Jiang believes this scenario makes Americans most vulnerable and, therefore, most easily traumatized. He emphasizes that this is what makes the current situation different from past conflicts, where physical infrastructure was the target. The goal of such an attack, he argues, would be to traumatize the population into self-destructive violence.
