9:00 looking again at economic data, at demographic projections and so on you look at the United States and say well this platform is reaching the end of its utility
the cost of maintaining hegemony through this particular nation state is starting to outweigh the benefits
it's aging it's divided it's expensive to manage it's politically becoming unstable so if you're part of the OCGFC what do you do you don't outright destroy the US but you phase it out you extract what's left you wind it down that's not a conspiracy theory that's economic logic
the US had served as the central hub of capital expansion for decades but by 2015 it had already passed its peak utility
the OCGFC began transitioning towards new centers of gravity young populations deregulated markets resource-rich regions primarily in the global south so you gradually want to move R&D and manufacturing out of the US and that's what we've seen not only low-skilled labor but also high-end production innovation hubs
investments have been relocating i don't know if you know tech R&D pharmaceuticals chip production even advanced robotics gradually shifting out to Asia to India to various pockets in Africa where you can build without oversight
at the same time you've got to keep the US population passive while you're doing this that's where you that that's where you need fragmentation cultural division, political polarization, racial antagonism you pump identity politics to the front of the national conversation so people fight each other instead of paying attention to who's asset-stripping the country

e first present the updated socio-economic trends in Figure 1 as global aggregates as in theoriginal set of 12 socio-economic graphs. We have also now, where the data permit, split ten of thesocio-economic graphs into trends for the OECD countries, for the so-called BRICS countries(Brazil, Russia, India, China (including Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan where applicable) andSouth Africa), and for the rest of the world (Figure 2). OECD members are here defined as coun-tries that were members in 2010 and their membership status was applied to the whole data set,which in some cases goes as far back as 1750.
Socio-economic trends are split into three groups: OECD, BRICS and all other countries. This split reveals the unequal distribution of the indicators.
