In this video I discuss how Eastern concepts bring China the edge in terms of it potentially becoming the next global superpower. It’s already ahead in many areas including development of clean, nuclear fusion energy, which would solve at least some of the downsides of data-centres, not to mention helping with environmental woes.
Many talk of AI being the new arms race. But that’s the West. China operates very differently. Ingrained in its culture are the concepts of The Art of War, Tao Te Ching, and Confucius. — alien to the West.
So for me, it’s more a battle of cognition… and it looks like China is winning that one.
But I also get into the late Colonel John Boyd (USAF), who was very influenced by Eastern ideas and developed his OODA Loop — which, for me at least, is the West’s equivalent of Eastern thought and strategy.
Boyd’s ideas can also be applied to daily life and business.

The discussion was sparked by me relating how I have recently revamped my LinkedIn, mostly to keep up with the latest discussions about AI. You can follow me at:
