In recent years there has been a real trend of public intellectuals talking about things way outside their wheelhouse and being completely out of their depth (Malcolm Gladwell and Jordan Peterson being two famous examples). Zeihan doesn't necessarily fit that mold as he does have a geopolitical background, but Canada is hardly his expertise and like a lot of American analysts, he seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the rest of the world.

Slight tangent here, what was the Malcolm Gladwell example?
Edit: Nvm found plenty of material. I wouldn't call myself a fan of his, just generally aware of his work. But apparently not all of it. Just had an instinct that he was generally well thought of.
The more you know.
