Can we stop sharing this guy's every word like he's an authority on everything? He's a blogger, not an expert on international relations.
First, he’s not alone. There was a globe and mail editorial that also boosted this idea, with an emphasis on drug and AI patents.
Second, he doesn’t claim expertise in trade relations; he’s an expert on the recent history of IP and reasonable claim in that.
But frankly, what expertise in international relations is appropriate? Trump is blowing shit up, and does not act like a rational actor. Can you name someone who IS an expert on how to handle this?
The only new thing about this is that it's coming from the US. Irrational governments have and do exist in the real world and people have been dealing with them for centuries. Maybe look to them for answers instead of the random internet celebrity that has zero experience in the matter.
A blogger and…
Dude has had some fairly prophetic understandings of how thing are headed for years, so he does have some background on a potentially valid pov.
Ah yes, he's the "Internet prophet". That gives him credibility.
No, but it gives him a reason to be read and considered. Taking anyone’s ideas just because they said them is… problematic to say the least.
I am just trying to give you a bit more context than you seem willing to find, and, as everyone who has responded in this thread seems to note, you are writing responses that seem bizarrely … aggressive?
I mean, I’m not wed to the idea, nor am I to all the man’s writings, but you seem extremely set against him with no explanation.
