#3> Cold War 2.0 is coming
This would be a blessing. I think we can trace most of our problems back to the end of the cold war. If we have some common thing to fight against we stop fighting each other (see Watchmen- ironically though it was about ending the cold war but a level down it works)
More realistic is a 1984 style "continuous but meaningless war" that lets the various parties pursue their ideological aims without fear of revolt from inside. Though I have no idea how to prepare for this

I don't think the US can "win" that Cold War, so maybe it shouldn't pick the fight this time.

#6China and Russia are yesterdays growth stories (China is still at 5%). Look for growth in other places like Brazil which is poised to grow in the next 20 years.

#8Bad information is often worse than no information which is why it's better to save your energy/time/resources to deal with circumstances as they unfold instead of trying to prepare for the unknown.

#9Technological advancement still means growth, even if it looks different from the growth of the last 30 or so years.
Also, wouldn't be a bad time for defence-related startups...

#10Putin, Xi, Modi, Biden/Trump are getting older. Generational shift is coming and it is a phase transition. Where it settles, in which attractor basin is the Quintilian dollar question. :) I vote for the ECO revolution.
