Hey everyone — it’s Leaflit! In this video I’m reacting to a talk by Prof. Jiang Xueqin titled “Prof. Jiang explains how the ELITES gain power by cheating” — where he breaks down an intriguing theory about why individuals or groups at the highest levels end up holding power and influence.

In the lecture, Prof. Jiang outlines a broader idea that power structures don’t just emerge through talent or merit alone — sometimes they form through mutual transgressions, coordinated taboo-breaking, and the kinds of bonds that come from shared involvement in controversial or “off-limits” activities. The theory suggests that when a group openly or secretly crosses traditional norms together — sometimes even illegal ones — it creates strong internal loyalty, aligned incentives, and a shared risk that binds them together and gives them strategic cohesion.

Some parts of the discussion use game-theory ideas and historical references to make the case that such elite cohesion isn’t just about who’s rich or powerful individually, but who can coordinate risk, reward, and secrecy among a trusted inner circle, and why groups that “cheat” together stay loyal and hard to break apart.

Whether it’s about secret societies, powerful networks of influence, or how coordinated transgression can reinforce loyalty, this is a mind-bending and speculative take on power — not necessarily a proven fact, but definitely interesting to think about. It’s one way of trying to explain why certain elites seem untouchable and why outsiders struggle to break into their circles.

In my reaction I talk about:
What the theory says about shared taboo-breaking and elite cohesion,
Whether this logically explains the way elites operate today,
How it compares to other theories of power and hidden influence, and
Why it’s worth watching even if you’re unsure how much of it is real.

And drop a comment: Do you think power is really held together by secrecy and shared “cheating” — or is it just networked advantage and historical privilege?
