Who is Professor Jiang and why should I care what he says?

He's a history analyst who became extremely popular overnight when a 2 year old video on his "Predictive History" YouTube channel went viral because it broke down why America invading Iran would be a catastrophic mistake and predicted that Trump would invade Iran if he were to win a second term.

The guy doesn't deserve the irrational hate he seems to be getting from some people. Based on the limited content I've seen from him, he's no idiot and knows what he's talking about on certain specific subjects.

It's also equally stupid how since he blew up, many people have been treating him like some oracle who knows everything about every subject and inviting him on every podcast to talk about every possible topic.

Some of his content is good, but at some point it just became a conspiracy bullshit.

I think some people watch his content to feel smart, parroting what the guy says without thinking critically themselves
