Innovation Has Limitations (We're About to Find Them) || Peter Zeihan

Thanks to the right demographics and cheap capital, we've been living in a period of extreme technological advancement and innovation. Can innovation keep up with the needs of modular nuclear reactors, artificial intelligence hardware, space and satellites, biologic drugs, shale, and agriculture?

Where to find more?

Where to find me on Social Media?

The best of breed, Peter gives such a great overview of where things are going and why, without being overly political or divisive. Big fan

[davidd]

I look forward to Peter's video every morning. He has a great outlook on the world

[kiwikidusa]

Going for a morning hike with Peter while getting a master class in world affairs really makes my day. Thank you Peter!

Peter is like Gandalf wandering in the woods talking to trees and birds it is so cute somehow. Hi Peter.

I was waiting until the end because I was hoping to pounce in the comment section when I thought Peter Zeihan was going to miss GMOs, but honestly, I think he nailed it. That is why I listen to this hiking channel with great geopolitics.

Peter has a gift of digesting many streams of information, arrange and synchronize them into a single train of thought, and deliver the result with his excellent communication / presentation / writing skills. Hats off.

For a guy who knows so much, he is never in the office :)
Good to hear Peter say "Ma and Pa shops" To me the four ingredients of innovation are : 1) A place to tinker. 2) A reason to tinker and 3) Time to tinker and 4) Materials to tinker with. From Charles Goodyear making vulcanized rubber in the kitchen to Jobs/Woyzniac making the Apple. When citizens are stress and "tapped out" they reduce their tinkering. Yes many still do but the number drops.

That's (as usual) a seriously wide range of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

[jamieblacksmith]

I can't believe that Peter does not have over 2 million subscribers. He is a brilliant and important mind and most folks choose to watch drooling idiots on you tube. Rock on Peter!

[ocnier]

Excellent summation of where things are, at the moment. Well done Peter!

I'm an IT professional. I didn't learn about all types of artificial neural networks, but the ones I learned about are extremely easy to run and would do with even old hardware. Teaching the network is more demanding.

US farmers are already doing inputs based yield expectations on a small scale vs. farm field wide. Its the plant genetics that is changing big time. I was at Purdue in 1998; the corn guru there said no way we can top 700 bushel an acre ever; 350 bu/ac be tough to do. 2019 corn yield record holder hit 619 bu/ac!!!

[thomaspickering]

Excellent video. Incredibly informative on a broad range of subjects.

[andymcrae]

I think this guy loves walking in nature

Speaking of innovation, how about a video that discusses the game-changing advances that plasma-bit drilling is likely going to have on the well drilling industry, in the very near future, especially regarding geothermal wells(?) Really enjoy the channel and your insight, keep up the great work!

[TobyCorall]

Peter your inspirational talks have changed my life. Just keep it up! My question, on your multi day hikes, what’s your kit list? I struggle keeping my pack lite. And your right about everything else so ………….

[roryblake]

I work in biologic drugs (aging.) Since I've started walking and talking like Peter ...great insights started happening behind the scenes. Walking is good for creativity!

[Darhan]

Not quite as optimistic about this tech stuff as Peter Diamandis, but still a valuable perspective. The world needs more than one Peter.

[SacredCowStockyards]

Honestly, I think we're sufficiently underutilizing the technologies we DO have, that a slowdown in the rate of raw innovation (and an increase in the rate of operationalization) might actually do more to help than hurt. I can think of hundreds of workplaces and processes that can be mechanized, automated, and robotized to a MUCH greater degree than they already are. And if we have a shrinking workforce, that removes the main objection we have to it, which is that it takes away people's jobs.

The worst thing we could do right now is mass-import workers to replace the ones retiring. If we do that, the pressures driving down birthrates will never go away.
