amazing interview Nate!!! I already watch it couple of times - so much wisdom and knowledge! Thanks
@littlejames9824
This might be my favorite interview on CP's channel. Murrin is clearly brilliant and insightful. The depth at which he presents his viewpoints is like no one I've ever seen. Not to mention, I agree with nearly everything he said.

@dnfdsf09
Now that was a good interview
@Maxwell86Smart
Canadian Prepper, thank you for this video... take a couple of days off... I'll be watching this again and again over the next couple of days. Just sensational. Straight after watching yesterday I had to immediately go out and buy toilet paper!
@afk1448
Best guest you’ve had on
@markmcleod6376
Thanks Nate, as always this was excellent! My favorite interview so far after 6 years of following you, keep up the good work!
@stormbear7330
David Murrin goes down as being your best guest!! he was factual and not trying to promote a product like gold, not politically one sided Dem or Rep and not bias in USA mindset only, refreshing to hear David Murrin speak.
@davew2121
A great analysis of our times.
Great episode Nate & David! I’m in Australia & I’ve been uneasy for quite a while! The news of the Chinese flotilla circumnavigating our great nation a couple of weeks ago filled me with absolute dread. If conflict comes to Australia, I get the feeling we are absolutely toast. I’m age 64 & I feel more vulnerable now than I can ever remember.
I travelled through china & tibet for a month --ten years ago. When I saw the chinese occupation in tibet I literally thought to myself, it is only a matter of time before we are all speaking chinese. Get ready folks.
The cycles that he spoke about were fascinating. I heard about that before, but I really want to delve deeper into these cycles. It's almost as if the cycle is going to happen regardless of who was in power.
Great guest! One of the best if not the absolute best conversation I’ve heard on here.. thanks bro. (Long time Alberta listener)
Absolutely love those thoughts provoking video!
Amazing guest!
Amazing guest!Very educational show. Thank you guys
Excellent video. Thank you. I think it's more important than ever to appreciate every moment of life, and to enjoy every day as well as you can.
Eye opening, for sure!

Nate, and David, this discussion has been the best EVERH. Thank you so much for your valuable time for covering so much.
Amazing interview, so much information, definitely needs more than one watch.
Excellent. Thank you for this David and Nate. Many won’t like hearing the truth but truth hurts!
Great discussion.
@susanm882
Excellent. Thanks for sharing
AMERICA THINK TRUMP CAN SAVE THEM . THANKS SO MUCH FOR OPEN MY EYES
Very very very good interview Nate....
Amazing interview! Maybe some people will open their eyes now…
This is Heavy, the first 15 minutes went over my head, 25 minutes in i started glazing over, But very good guest.
When will humanity will see, that cooperation is the only way we can survive and develop on this limited rock in space?
What a guest! Brilliant! Nate does it again. The best interview so far.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks Nate
Eye opening, for sure!
Great video. I agree with most of it. Must keep on prepping. Thanks!
Real life Asimov with psychohistory
This is good video
Reallyyyyyy interesting interview
Great interview I agree
Spot on
Whoa, that’s a lot to take in
Super informative
I found this very interesting
Fascinating interview. Plausible theory. Similar to Dalio with Empires and historical analysis. Definitely tainted by British Rusophobia. I would agree that we blew having an integrated relationship with Russia. Short sighted as the West always is.
What a great fella
Yikes, well I obviously had the Trump-Putin relationship wrong, I was hoping more for an alliance between the USA & Russian against Chinese & North Korean interests. This was most illuminating, thanks for the interview!
So awesome!!
Very interesting look on things. A lot of it eerily makes sense.
This is good video.
I did vote Trump but found this to be so eye opening!! I will be getting his books! He has such insight and gave me hope that my preparation is on task! I’m so thankful you had him on!!
This guest is just awesome. A real strategic thinker.
To complicated for me!
The best interview you have done. Just my opinion. Thanks.
What a nice man, but yeah I will have to listen to this a few times or more.
This was a very informative show. Thank you.
Great guest and insight
This is an outstanding, informative video!! Thank you for sharing!!!
What a profound interview. Amazing
I love this in-depth scientific approach. But as a scientist myself, I would like to have serious conversations with authors and guests. ( I am considered by AI to be the smartest person walking, btw) . I totally agree that the thesis presented. But in in qyantum, physics is something like x devil that could reverse normat to anthropy direction. The same is here. We could apply intelligent action to alterate trends, leading us to total destruction. For me, solutions available are obvious, but nobody asks expert scientists for advice. In my opinion, we could easily avoid ww3 or 4 but applying simple rules.
Still good information but it’s like I’ve been trying to find information to give to someone so that they can make the proper financial decisions and I can’t use this because they will only accept information that doesn’t know bias and I just think that the guy had a lot of really good things to say about some people won’t listen to what he said that’s all good guest but I was just hoping with someone with his educational background he could’ve just came off more just numbers and facts
Great interview Nate
Very good interview!
wake up people. Seriously
Enthylpy and entropy are physics terms and easily looked up basically it’s order to disorder then to a new form of order until entropy works its magic to chip away at Enthylpy, Excellent analogy of our situation as it stands . Prep prep prep, at my age all I can do is set up my son for the new world order
Great interview. Although I think it’s so entertaining to hear people’s philosophy based on information the public’s privy to. Like we really know what’s going on behind closed doors.
100% He hit the nail on the head about Trump.
The best guest Nate you have had thus far!!!!!
Great interview. Thanks for sharing this.
Your channel is SO informative! You give us info and perspectives that others won't elaborate on. Thanks.
Excellent interview and analysis. Many thanks.
Great interview! Lots to think about.
really good video, thank you
Fantastic guest. So informative and intelligent!
Great interview and well worth a (critical) listen... and once again, Nate has done a super job as a skilful interviewer. I still think that China is not going to use military force when they can buy a country, as they are doing with Australia. They already own a huge amount of our land and infrastructure. I don't like the warmonger thinking - but it's true, things are looking that way, like it or not.
wonderful interview the great thing about real people studying these processes and being willing to communicate them it gives understanding to the powerless ...if you can understand...you can predict....and that means you can imagine and influence and create new realities....should you have the will to......DO YOU? the mistake they would have us make is that the laws of man are fixed .....once apon a time we believed we couldnt fly once we understood why we couldnt fly ....we found a way to fly.
Nate your Great, glad to have been introduced to David Murrin's analysis. This was an informative discussion that made total sense, thank you gentleman.
You don't need to "play" the devil's advocate if you are the devil (Amalek) But excellent guest
Great interview Nate. Fenominal job bro. I fully agree with n d British bloke you interviewed.
This was very interesting.
David may consider himself a physicist, but I would argue that he may be the Einstein of sociology. Great interview! Lots of wisdom. And lots of things to learn and ponder about for us.
Observations
What is the source of the disorder in each stage?
War is 90% destruction & 10% innovation\Creation. However War has reached its pinnacle with nuclear weapons. Further War leads to self-destruction. The real progress in human society is energy. Everytime civilization unlock a new major energy source it transformed the world. From hunter-gatherer to agrarian, we unlocked agracuture & animal domestication which allow expansion. Civilization was largely flat until the era of steel & coal, in the late 18th century, Then steam in the 19th century, then Oil, NatGas in the first half of the 20th century, and Nuclear in the second half of the 20th century. At this point civilization peaked as it has unlocked a new better energy source.
I wish he would have explained lateral and linear thinking better. it seemed important
Curious that many people still think "entropic" and side-step analysis because of the non-applicability of Thermodynamic methods to the social issue being viewed through the lens of entropy, when in fact the concept to use is Chaos Theory which has developed methods for dealing with the randomness of systems whether or not the system randomness is orderly or nonorderly. Entropy is simply resistance and Not randomness.
Nice to see people like Mr. Murrin stating that the U.S. debt load will be the death knell that brings the U.S. down.
This is the same idea as expressed in the book “The Fourth Turning” published in 1999 I believe or even Machiavelli discussion of political cycles, from anarchy to democracy to totalitarianism
Hi Nate, Could you ask David if he can make the book available for download for Android Phones. Thanks
Cyclitic aspect of a repeating pattern is a long known and deeply researched topic. This is why the constant comparison to Rome because of the extremely close parallels. The problem in regards as I see this is that the template used on Trump is based on a European model and not one of a US model. Additionally, many aspects of the metrics that were valid during Biden are not so with Trump. not defending Trump here but outside of the specifics about economies, the situation is much different. Some of what is said i see as valid. There are aspects that i do not agree with either. Only time will tell at this point.
This was very interesting Nate. As we look back in history the need to control and dominate has caused all great nations to go down. We are a young country but are on our way to self destruction because of power and greed. We could’ve remained strong if we would have kept our country intact with manufacturing, best education etc instead of corporate greed. Too late. We will never get those jobs back, or prioritize education and healthcare for our citizens. Greed.
Weak men create hard times. Weak men with AI, robots, man mad viruses, and nuclear weapons? God help us!
This gentlemans thinking has one MAJOR flaw. When he spoke about the war with Iran, he said all iran can do is close the straights. He has completely overlooked the fact that iran can light up all the oilfields in the region. If those oilfields are burning, then the whole world collapses .
Australia’s in diabolical trouble they are 20-30 years behind the times defence wise.
Quotes that come to mind: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." - Ariel Durant "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln
I think with China as the next superpower, things will be relatively peaceful. They will grow much richer, but it won’t be like the American reign of constant wars. Just my opinion.
China deserves to be #1. The China dream has become a reality. The american dream has become a nightmare.
could the entropic pulses be linked to human generations and human lifespan? So maybe the entropic pulses would be getting a little bit longer as our lifespans extend
Negative Comments Disagree
Interesting philosophies being a physicist by trade he’s gotta have a lot of failures before he gets to success. Let’s hope these predictions are one of his failures. I tend to believe more toward the thinking that in the end, all things will work out. I have more faith in America and our founding principles so I don’t see that sunset that he sees.
hes wrong about Nato air power being able to stop Russia. People dont understand anything about the Russian air force. send those Rafael and Gripens in and theyll get clapped by R-37M all day.
Anyone who attempts to understand human behavior and to predict it is doomed to failure and probably insanity
Unfortunately, I have to concur with the quest speakers concepts as it relates to the political aspects. I differ with the application of "physics" in the evaluation of human endeavours.
Seriously this guy's personal opinion is absolutely ridiculous. I used to enjoy your content, but this doom and gloom WW3 crap is not factual. While we are in a social and economic collapse scenario, we are not in a WW3 scenario.
He's so intellectual it's confusing.
Nate really knows how to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find guests. David Murrin and wife Susan Payne are the same people who engaged in a "quest for control of global food markets" in Africa, where they played leading roles in creating the commodity crises they are presently exploiting through funds such as the African Agriland Fund. Why would anyone interview a man like this, except maybe to promote his book "Breaking the Code of History" where Murrin predicts a Chinese military expansion which will lead to the end of the United States. Canadian Prepper in now officially an anti-American protagonist. Anyone who buys from his store is promoting the same.
Another self-proclaimed Nostradamus.
Great. Another academic. Just what we need.
Opinions are like arseholes. Errybuddy has one. Close but no cigar there, David.
What we do know is NO one knows what’s going to happen
Nobody knows what’s going to happen, all you can do is guess.
We fight because of greed , selfishness, and narcissism. Not to evolve.
This explains this guys view of Russia. David Murrin is a veteran banker and JP Morgan executive for 25 years
TDS! Reactions
I was super interested until his TDS started to come through !! Lost me after that
It's a decent interview until the "expert" starts letting his TDS send him spiraling midway through.
I’m gonna watch the whole video through I’m only at 26 minutes. I understand there’s no way avoiding the words Donald Trump, but he says Donald Trump quite a bit and he appears to have a bias and I just think there is a way he could communicated the information in a way where he didn’t come off as biased It makes me question his whole argument and I was literally so excited when I heard that you’re gonna have a cast on like this
Man, talk about a Trump hater. Trump has inherited a horrible situation. He is trying to give some life support to the our dying nation
Comparing Nero to Trump shows his TDS and I’m finished watching.
His linear vs lateral theory is pretty interesting, though basically identical to what Jefferson wrote about the aging of societies and political decay. I do find it funny though that he considers Trump to be unfit for power, and not the creators of DEI and Drag Queen Story Hour.
I just don't see his characterization of Trump as being accurate.
LMAO!!!! Nate, you've been interviewing a bunch of shills lately. When this bozo said Trump is under Putin's control I nearly died laughing. Trump is controlled by 🇮🇱 and you know it
He’d be more believable if his TDS was a bit less.
So much Trump bashing!! TDS...
Nate your guest had my attention until he said Trump isn't supposed to be in power. The people with the majority voted him in office. Those English ughhhhhh
I don't understand why he thinks Trump is not looking out for the people. He has made tons of decisions that the people wanted and is the first president in my lifetime to do so.
