Who the heck is Professor Jiang? Everybody is talking about him right now. Jiang seems to be a Chinese conspiracy theorist. Probably some kind of Alt Right stuff. Apparently, he predicted Trump´s attack on Iran with the help of "game theory". Or was it Hari Seldon´s psycho-history? He actually mentions psycho-history (a concept from Asimov´s science fiction novels) in his YouTube channel presentation. Jiang has also predicted that the United States will eventually lose the war in question.
Debunker Flint Dibble has found some weird videos featuring Jiang´s rather colorful adjacent opinions. For instance that the famous Carthaginian commander Hannibal Barca wasn´t a real person, that Freemasons and Rosicrucians rule the world, that there is no evidence for the Holocaust, or that Jiang himself can somehow communicate with the Divine. He also seems to be doing cold reading on his students?! Elsewhere on-line, I found a video in which the Chinese gadfly seems to be denying the Moon landing.
Flint claims that Jiang isn´t a real professor, but a middle school teacher in Beijing (note, however, that his YT channel is registered in Canada) with a bachelor´s degree in English literature from Yale. Jiang has millions of subscribers on YouTube, so it´s possible that he isn´t going away any time soon...
