I watch his channel regularly mostly for entertainment and to help form my own thoughts and opinions on the subject matter relative to other sources. I do think some of his content is accurate and useful, but a lot of it isn't. I've caught him regurgitating conspiracy threads from reddit in his teachings on more than one occasion. I think he reads those threads and possibly uses AI to design the topics around them along with a dose of some cursory research into those subjects. I'm guessing he got the term "Technate" off of reddit as well, as I've seen it mentioned there.

EDIT: looks like it might be based off this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement#The_techn...

It's probably influenced by findings after Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin conspiracies started spiking in popularity in recent months

I'd be a little reluctant to mark his speeches as "conspiracy".

I don't disagree with that on a qualitative level, but predictive history is as the name suggests forward looking. We're by definition up to our eyeballs into speculative territory here, a lot of it may align with conspiracy.

So yeah may land on the same ballpark, but still think "conspiracy" label does the dude a disservice.
