Mike Robinson | A Thousand Words (Part 1 of 3)Part 2 and 3 are available at https://www.ukcolumn.org/series/a-thousand-words► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialMike straps himself into 'the dentist's chair' and we get to hear some of the personal stories behind the public persona.Mike and Jake also reflect on the 'movement' and how certain things need to be in place before we can have useful conversations rather than hostile and unproductive ones. They note that constant infighting, ego, and the unwillingness to admit mistakes often mirror the very behaviours we are critiquing. Instead of creating understanding, this dynamic increases stress and deepens divisions.They also discuss the importance of individual responsibility when engaging with information. Rather than passively consuming content, Mike encourages us to question, verify, and think critically about what we encounter. He points out that meaningful change doesn’t come from waiting for large-scale solutions or influential figures, but from individuals taking small, consistent actions. Personal development—such as being open to new evidence and willing to rethink one’s views—is presented as a key part of that process.Divisive topics are used to illustrate how rigid beliefs on both sides can shut down meaningful dialogue. When one side refuses to consider alternative explanations and the other dismisses the topic entirely, constructive discussion becomes impossible. Ultimately, they argue that progress depends on maintaining a balanced, evidence-based approach, along with a willingness to engage respectfully and accept uncertainty where necessary.To keep abreast of all things A Thousand Words go to https://substack.com/@jakefern For more information on Jake Fern's art, go to https://www.jakefern.co.uk/ https://www.therighteousbrothers.uk/► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

China's Economy is 2-3x Bigger Than the US | Silk and Steel► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialIn this episode of The Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha is joined by Han Fei-Zi (aka Blue Bear Monkey, formerly Doggy) – a prolific writer for Asia Times – for a deep dive into the real size of China's economy, the structural flaws in Western economic thinking, and why the US is living in a delusion that could lead to catastrophic decisions.The explosive claims: • China's economy is 2-3 times larger than the US, not 25% larger on PPP or smaller in nominal terms • China has been lowballing its GDP for decades – for WTO negotiations, to maintain "developing nation" status, and out of institutional inertia • The ICP (International Comparison Program) data that sets purchasing power parity is fundamentally flawed – comparing China to Mexico is absurd • The "smile curve" that told the West to offshore manufacturing was measuring the wrong thing – manufacturing is actually the hardest, most valuable partWe break down: • Why electricity consumption, car sales, and steel production tell a truer story than GDP figures • How the US runs on "Dutch disease" – selling assets (treasuries, stocks, real estate) instead of producing goods • Why Scott Bessent and Trump are delusional about trade war leverage • The petrodollar vs. petroyuan shift – and why Iran's demands for yuan payments are a game-changer • How BRI just had a record year (double the previous record) – the "BRI is dead" narrative was wrong • Why Western aid is just "window dressing" – while China builds roads, rails, and power gridsPlus: Why Chinese parents send their kids to US universities (it's not what you think), the truth about Chinese students at Tsinghua, and why Elon Musk said design is a "rounding error" compared to manufacturing.Han Fei-Zi writes for Asia Times and can be found on X as Blue Bear Monkey (formerly Doggy). Follow for provocative, colorful takes on China's economy.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
