r/OutOfTheLoop on Reddit: Why have people been talking about Professor Jiang? Who exactly is this guy?

March 17, 2026 -

Been seeing A LOT of social media content being poured in about this guy lately. All I can gather at the moment is apparently he predicted that Trump would win the presidency and that the US would go to war or something like that? And recently he did an interview with Piers Morgan as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK6hfzFQpxM

Answer: He is a Canadian Chinese (high-school) teacher who runs a YouTube channel called Predictive History, where he calls himself Professor Jiang, he is not a professor, does not have a doctorate, and has never taught at university level. Over the past year he has moved away from historical topics and begun commenting on international affairs. Although he had already built up a significant social media following, for some reason he recently went viral and has since appeared in interviews in a wide variety of media. Most notably, some have claimed that his analysis has accurately predicted recent international events. The most common being his prediction that (a) trump would win, (b) he would start a war with Iran, (c) the USA would lose this war. In regard to these (a) was very likely to happen, (b) was less likely but a high probability based upon Israel's stated goals and influence on US policy, as well as Trump's own position on Iran, (c) remains to be seem but was something that many analysts have already said would be the result of any hasty attack on Iran that expected it to fold like past US opponents have. Also important to note is that Jiang claims his analytical techniques are based upon 'psychohistory' a fictional 'field of study' that is a mixture of history, psychology, and political analysis and which was created in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of science fiction books. He also claims to get his information from a higher power, and has view of historical patterns which might be described as 'conspiratorial', i.e. secretive groups like the illuminati shape events behind the scenes. More relevant to our times, his analysis is very broad and covers a wide variety of global events and is done with an outward confidence that seems to be very appealing to people with little knowledge of the subjects in question. However, it tends to be incredibly superficially, giving overly simplistic causal factors for complex international or historical trends and events, completely overlooks many key elements of these issues and in many instances makes claims that are patently ludicrous. As an example, in one recent interview he stated that China wants the USA to remain in Asia as otherwise it would be in danger of attack by South Korea, Japan, and Russia. Furthermore, he said that were the USA to leave the region Japan would reinforce its Navy to the point that China would be in danger of a blockade. The idea of Japan blockading China is insane for several reasons; 15000km coastline, its Japan's #1 trade partner, it would cause global supply line chaos, and it would certainly escalate into a larger war with China being the only nuclear side. In the same way, the USA leaving would be highly unlikely to make tension between China and Japan increase. Japan and China have actually had relations that switch between positive and negative over the past decades with upwards trends boosted by diplomacy, trade, and direct investment, and downard trends largely a result of US pressure on security issues. With no USA in the region wJapan would have incredibly strong economic and security reasons to boost relations with China. In short, he is a very unreliable commentator riding a huge popularity wave due to inexplicable ranking in various social media algorithms. His fanbase is very vocal however and criticism, such as this, about the reliability of his 'predictions' tends to attract a lot of backlash. In some ways his appeal is understandable, global issues are very complex and it can be nice to have a relatively simple explanation. Its is also appealing to gain access to a 'hidden' knowledge, i.e. a way of seeing the world that the average person is not aware of. In this case however, caveat emptor.

Answer: He got picked by the YouTube algorithm when Trump attacks Iran became a popular topic. He predicted a Trump presidency and an attack on Iran using connections between public figures and game theory, but also got many details wrong - he predicted an attack on March 2027, and that it would be an allied coalition attack similar to Iraq. This obviously did not happen, as countries are unwilling to send boats to relieve Hormuz, let alone troops. He's also betting on secret societies hastening the end of the world because apparently that's what all of them want in common.
