Great talk, Kotkin is always a pleasure to hear , with very clear centered ideas. I don't always agree with his views, especially about the US and its "peaceful hegemony" which, being from latin america, I simply can't agree with. As a counterpoint it would be interesting to have a marxist like David Harvey, but perhaps the conversation could be a bit more towards AI. This talk was interesting but it would be even better if at least some paths of conceptual connection could be made for the listener to think about.
