Ray Dalio's views on the world

Loved this talk because of its incredible range of topics: A lesson in life, economics, business, spirituality, history, decision making, human behaviour… and more so much more! I voluntarily removed the actual title of the episode because it's just click-baity and doesn't do justice to the richness of the conversation. I find this quite infuriating to be honest. We have enough of those titles going around and if it wasn't for the speaker I would not have listen to it.

Take aways for me: (capping it to 3 or this will be an essay):

• The 5 big forces Ray Dalio speaks off that impact us all 

Monetary : Economy, money, debt 

Internal politics: left and right - disparity/ wealth inequality - internal conflicts 

Geopolitics: International wars - establishment of world order until the next war

Acts of Nature: climate, pandemics 

Man’s inventiveness: new technologies 

• The importance of being open-minded and assertive at the same time. He says: “I watch people becoming so tied to their own opinions. This is the greatest tragedy of mankind.”

• The importance of honesty and transparency in business.
