Dear YouTube subscribers: This semester I'll be teaching Game Theory and Great Books. I will upload two Game Theory lectures a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays), and I will upload one Great Books lecture a week (on Wednesdays). The semester ends late May, and I will be off the entire month of February for Chinese New Year. I do not monetize my YouTube videos so that you may have the best possible viewing experience. If you do get ads, I apologize -- it's the YouTube algorithm. If you'd like to support my work, please consider making a small donation at https://buymeacoffee.com/predictivehi... You can also subscribe to my Substack newsletter: https://predictivehistory.substack.co... Please remember that I only have one YouTube channel. I know there are many YouTube channels that use my content, and there are some that use AI-generated content. I am exploring how to best deal with this complicated issue -- in the meantime, please be aware.

Dear YouTube subscribers: We are halfway through the semester, and I will be uploading two lectures a week until Christmas Break. I have three announcements: 1. My wife has taken our children to the south to avoid the flu season in Beijing. She has been my production team, doing all the filming and editing. I must do all the filming and editing myself, and the production quality will not be as clean and sharp. My apologies, and I thank everyone for your patience and understanding. 2. I now focus on religion, and I ask everyone to appreciate that this is a class focused on intellectual speculation. It is designed to ask provocative questions, not provide final answers. 3. If you have not done so, please subscribe to my Substack. For every Secret History video, I post a supplementary essay. These Secret History essays are free for anyone with an e-mail address (my geo-politics essays are paywalled). The link is here: https://predictivehistory.substack.com/

Dear community: For the past 14 hours, I have been uploading Secret History #8 to YouTube. It is 99 percent complete, but the final stage has been painfully slow. It may be because that for the first time I am displaying another video (open source content), and that video has certain curse words. If this problem persists I may need to edit out that video, and do another upload. I apologize for the delay, and I aim to resolve this problem asap.

I resume classes next Friday October 10th. I will be teaching two classes a week until the Christmas holidays, so buckle up -- it's going to be a fun ride. I just did an interview in which we reviewed the first seven classes of Secret History, and which I foreshadow future topics. You can watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=R9vg...

Dear community: Today I uploaded a video which generated a torrent of debate and division. I have decided to pull it down for various reasons. If you like to know what the video was about, and why I had to pull it down you can read the full explanation here: https://predictivehistory.substack.co...
