In order to live life well, you need to be able to compare how big things are to other things, how long things last, and how bad or good things can get. The only way to know about the things to come, is to better understand the things that have already occurred.

What I love most about Geopolitics is it involves the fundamental issues that every culture is interested in. Self-interest, security, economic structure, and of course resources. If you study it enough, it takes you out of your local view and lets you see the ebbs and flows of activities across the globe, rather than just the five feet in front of you.

A good example is Brexit in the UK. People on both sides of the issue are sure they are correct, however time is proving that Brexit most likely occurred socially because there is a global shift in attitude toward self-interest, and came into effect during a time of shifting global trade. It’s turning out to be some of the worst timing in history, but it involves only a fraction of what the domestic British debates are claiming.
