Listening to his choice of words, he's definitely full of himself, even self-important. Money has diminishing returns after 1/2 billion dollars. The best the world offers... food, experience, etc is capped at that amount, and after that, some of these billionaires turn their meaning-of-life seeking energies to influencing and controlling humanity. I wish they'd leave us alone.
Mencken was a wit but I don't find him deeply insightful. Pessimism always sounds sophisticated, but take this saying to it's logical conclusion, and it's Ayn Rand
Putting aside negative opinions. These talks are a testament and demonstrates the power of philosophy and critical thinking. Maybe that’s why it’s always being described a “useless “degree, to push people away from something that is very powerful when utilized correctly.

The principle of fallibility and reflexivity reminded me of the central dogma of psychology/neurobiology " Your brain affects your environment, and your environment affects your brain".
"Do you see a person wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him" Proverbs .26:12 Woe to those who are wise in the eyes of their soul and are intelligent in front of their own faces! Isaiah 5: 21 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Proverbs 22:16
Just sit back, smoke your crack and just accept the bullshit he vomits. His judgement of perfect is far from perfect, this reptilian needs to be dropped off in the middle of Antarctica.
Subjectivity = Perception while Objectivity = Reality, I agree, completely. Personal (past) experience, passions, misinterpretation and prejudices affect one’s perception, which often are NOT congruent with actual Reality. Please correct me if I misunderstood you Example: It will be extremely difficult for a person used to being robbed by others to trust even those whom are fundamentally honest (who in representing the true Reality, do not reflect that person’s Reality or least his/her own Perception of Reality, “Perception” being the keyword, here) The rest of what you speak of reminds me of Schrödinger’s Cat, where we corrupt Truth/Reality by OBSERVING it. I’m really enjoying this talk. I will most certainly seek the following ones you offer. I will also be getting your book “The Alchemy of Finance”
“I contend that the slavish imitation of natural science inevitably leads to the distortion of human and social phenomena.” The man’s on point right there.
Well to be honest the Anglosaksian self correcting mechanisme to compete with the imaginairy science will lead to opportunisme of self awareness therefor troubling the mind to the point of falsefied view on scientific argued reality. It will bring participants in conflict with non binary principles and cause a false view on the subject. However if it is and stays in line with scientific laws and proved by testing it is verifiable. Predictions will only be rational if they follow that principle and create a symmetrie as a concept for supreme simplicity as a central rol in relative knowledgement. Very strong arguments that professor Soros is trying to make us believe here. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😴

Some people are frightened by Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger etc.. but I assure you there are no 2 words that warrant more terror than "Billionare philanthropist"
Sam Bankman Fried created concept of efficient altruism to help world as mutch us possible. At the end he donated most to the politicians in charge of finance regulation.
Yeah, that awful Andrew Carnegie was a real bastard, the way he built libraries all over the US out of his own money. And Bill Gates is a bastard for funding the distribution of AIDS medication and treatment all over the world. I know what you would do if you had a billion dollars. You wouldn't be a philanthropist -- of course not! Not one penny to the poor, the sick, the hungry, the persecuted! No, you would buy estates and yachts and golf courses and employ lovely girls (or boys) to serve you and give you nice "happy endings", to cook delicious meals, and to write books and articles that will express your contempt for philanthropy far and wide. Because selfishness is GOOD. Helping others is a sickness.
@@Antifacio ...and no one is blaming the ideas behind "Effective Altruism." Ideas are what people act upon. SBF's altruism is why he's in jail, and why his investors and customers are poorer than they were before they met him.
By giving a lecture? Where are his armies, his bombs, his artillery, his ships? What punishments does he inflict on those who don't obey him? The man is expressing his views. Yes, he is very rich. You can listen to him or tune him out. He has no power over you. He is not interested in ruling the world. He is interested, now that he has made his pile of money, in promoting freedom of speech and the other basic freedoms. He is now a man in his 90s, probably pretty frail. He probably doesn't have the energy to get up every morning and rule the world. He probably is happy if he can get a good breakfast and relieve himself without too much strain. He is a successful capitalist. He started out poor and had the smarts and the luck to make himself rich. Isn't that the way capitalism is supposed to work? Let's face it, the main thing that most of his enemies hold against him is not his wealth-- there are many people as rich as he is, or richer -- by the fact that he is a Jew. For some people the very words "rich Jew" are deeply upsetting. The most prominent holder of this view was Adolf Hitler, who rose form the streets to rule a major country, and used his power to murder as many Jews as he could -- about 6 million of them. The people who hate Soros are like Hitler in their hatred of Jews, especially rich Jews. They are vicious people, murderous, filled with hate and rage. Luckily most of them are too weak or too stupid or too cowardly to do anything about their hatred. They just like to express it. They hope that another Hitler will come along and do their dirty work for them. These people would crucify Christ all over again if they had the chance. After all, he too was a Jew.
Sure. Nothing to do with being uneducated, lazy and entitled. Woke/hypocrites, a senile president, not productive and live of printing money. It's his fault!
@@moirangthemvikassingh6175 During ww2 he changed his name and worked with the nazi's. He actually helped them rob the possessions of other Jews. When asked if he felt any guilt for this in a sixty minutes interview in the nineties he sad , "no". The justification he gave was something along the lines that If he hadn't done it someone else would. He's no practising Nazi but he is truly evil.
I know this is ten years old. I just stopped by to give this video the middle finger quick. now I'll be going to listen to people who don't hate humanity.
Why listen to a so-called "intelectual" when he's always been on the wrong side of history. The 20th Century was America's century and Western Civilization. And within that both Jews and Germans made comebacks from WW2. He's upset about that.
Sir. GS, i'm just starting studying your theory, and as you said it is really abstract and difficult to follow, because we need a very deep diving to process such as brilliant detailed information. It seems that is a whole life construction, thankyou for sharing the experience and Congatulations for such a human contribution.
He skipped the introduction part where he helped Nazis to seized Jewish people's wealth while the Jewish people were send in the death camp. He said this on his interview.

SUPER THANK YOU-the basic enlightment I achieved from listening to George soros, is 'know thy enemy'-manipulate their weaknesses, hence all wealth will be YOURS!
Social sciences suffer from the suspicion that they are not as precise as natural science. Soros says social sciences are in fact imprecise, but this can be used to advantage. Perception can influence what is observed in a social science, and the ways that perception vary results can be studied.
Understand that his theory is revolutionary since prior understanding of behaviour in the financial market is that participants act in their best interest. This is obviously wrong. Human beings on a day-to-day basis will act against their own self-interest. Reflexivity only has more moving parts in explaining this concept.
Not true all the finacial pudits of old clamied the markets are emotionally driven and predictable its in recent times the claim that markets are rational and fair. The Japanese candlesticks are an example of reading emotional buying and selling pressures from the 18th century.
I find myself coming back to this video over and over… someday it will be regarded as the classic it really is. Thank you George for this amazing contribution to understanding what it is to be human. Everything clicks when you practice critically thinking with these principles. The greatest speculator to have ever done it 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

When you have read Ken Wilber, you no longer need to hear any other philosophy, it's game over. After that it is time to practice disidentification with thought and realization of being as the ground of reality Only from awareness can any true change come and any worthwhile society be created, or anything worthy to be created
And who set's the standards for these worthy to be created if you could kindly provide. I just think the influence of the reporting in multiple factors are defamatory if you're believing in the world I can't see for myself to make anyone my God.
This works in people as well - when I was younger I used to make drawings and when I showed them to my teacher she said I was a genius. But she said that of everyones drawings! The positive feedback loop I got made me think I was quite brilliant (in my own bubble). Long story short; I was no genius
If you want to be a genius you do like me. You study other geniuses. Then you master their technique. Then you choose which one you´d like to make a drawing or a painter like. Then you invent new things. Most people stop at the point of just studying other geniuses but do not make any new things. For example if you want to study Leonardo Da Vinci, you can not just study him and make no drawing that is like his on your own.
wut I don’t think your seeing the bigger picture like hearing but not listening, no mass population should ever be subjected to mass thought manipulation or told how to think. He’s preaching an open society but he is talking about controlling HOW people think or how they should live. That for example is why America is for and about freedom to live and think freely, his foundations are by force trying to manipulate or tell you HOW you or a society how to think. I don’t give a shit about his story or life. America is just fine without him or his socialist ideas. FUCK GEORGE SOROS.
Reflexivity makes a point analogous to the Buddhist tenet: Attachment leads to dukkha. Particularly in the US, the field of economics is not one of inquiry but proselytization. It is functional not reflective.
He is about Open Borders, Open Prisons, Open Criminality at the expense of people's freedom. Look at the results of his "PHILOSOPHY", and the mayhem, misery and chaos he has caused.
Well, his point is right. Economics by nature is a social science. It is not as exact as engineering, physics, or computer science. Understanding economics needs psychology, biology, and philosophy, but it needs numbers and models to those theories. These economic theories are not exact and we should not treat them like the laws of gravity because economics is very new and not set on stone. It needs to be dynamic.
@@zhess4096 Quantum logic is _probability theory,_ and thus quantum mechanics is a theory about the statistical distribution of possible outcomes of measurements in atomic and subatomic systems (ie, atoms and subatomic particles). It is the _least_ exact of the physical sciences by the very nature of probability (probability theory is, in a literal sense, the "science of uncertainty"). " I don't think you understand quantum mechanics lol" You don't _think_ anything about this subject, because you don't know what you're talking about. Nor does Soros understand the nature of the natural sciences vs economics. He clings to Popper's philosophical theories as if they are immovable objects, and then completely misapplies them .
@@themaskedman221 Exactly, you could the say stuff about the social sciences, but sociology, economics, and political science, but they rely on psychology and human behavior. We are arguing in semantics here so I digress. Exact isn't the proper word, but precise is the better word. Mathematics and logic are not natural sciences, but they are the most precise science we have. Quantum mechanics is the most precise natural science we have. We have problems with measurement, but it has a high probability of predictions. It has been tried and tested. Above that we have physics and general relativity. Then chemistry, biology, and neuroscience, psychology. Above those are economics and other social sciences? Are we okay with that?
Around about 32:00, Conscerning thinking and human affairs, and thinking having no causal effect on reality: I understand that human thinking is part of the state of nature and can also be a manipulative force. For instance if trees hold top soil innately and humans realize this then they plant trees to aid in stopping soil erosion. Similarly if we notice the mind has some natural or innate tendencies, once noticed and understood can be grown to have desired effect. Yes this is manipulation, and yet it arises even if one does not manipulate, albeit more haphazardly or sporadic.
But that's the diabolical genius of Soros. He's no Bush or Trump doing his dirt in the light. He can walk through the Middle East and only a handful of people will know who he is.
so many hateful comments below. those small people ignore the power of character needed for one to see so many crimes around and sufferance, and become compassionate and gentle instead of revengeful and petty. Soros was not a saint, just an involved witness as Popper advised him.
He seems to be suggesting that theories have a blindspot because they are themselves determinants of the reality they mean to describe and they cannot take their own determining influence into account but I'd say he never states it in any definite way.
reflexive (= showing that the person who does the action is also the person who is affected by it) is "What you put out is what you get back" or a characterization of one of Isaac's pillar laws, like the legs on a chair or a table that are not too many as to not prevent someone from being able to fit their legs beneath it because of there being the presence of too many legs. Similarly, via the phenomenon of auto-synchronizing metronomes, the presence of 2 wheels (illustration alternative to pillars) are needed for there to be a stabilizing balance. A different circumstance needing an assortment of conditions to be fulfilled, among which is ones of a number aesthetically few and versatile
He says uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs not confidence/certainty, which makes sense because confidence/certainty doesn't carry as much weight room as a word or concept including degree and a sense of accurateness. If anything they are at least equals, certainty and doubt (19:40). The former is like "1" without degradation or variation whereas doubt does - it is the one with variation, description or information. Confidence has degrees too or is also of capability but he makes a good point.
A lifetime of reflecting on how people do things based on thier perception of reality or a lifetime contemplating this theory and how you can impress people's perception of reality to do what benefits you? Why are we calling him genius?
Because he didn't just write about it like most arm chair philosophers. He used it to nearly break a bank and brought a government to it knees. He also used it to win wars in some part of the world even before it began. How often do u see a philosopher execute his philosophy in real world and make real impact. ? Very rare.
'Philosophy isn't very professional'? Read a book or some journal articles. Basing economic theory on totally unrealistic assumptions is not only unprofessional it's damaging to the real world economy. What he is say isn't original but it's definitely true. Look up intersubjectivity and performativity. Perception moves the markets fact: Option Pricing Theory is an obvious an verifiable example.
His basic point is that the financial markets are affected not only by objective things like company valuation, economic conditions, demographic factors, etc but also by the views of the individual participants in that market. Big deal.
I appreciated the lecture, although it was hard to understand on many occasions. It looks like a way to make philosophical knowledge useful to make profits, instead of useless pure abstraction.
Hes just trying to convince us to give him our lives and ne his slaves in communism, but in a different name so as to not frighten us....to refuse him... lie his programs in .....deception.....lies. .refuse all his programs...they are lies to give him power....take his power by rejecting his programs.....his definitions are false...as he describes the belief in a higher power as a deception....all his words are ment to deceive....and make him seem so wise ....instead of a liar and used car dealer....hes a determined salesman. .....destroying others to get more power.....hes fake philosophical ideas are garbage......George take the red pill.....stop making yourself into god.....false god....your mouth is open ....lies are spewing out
He's confession about going berserker on the trading game you you turned and stretched out your neck to give him a bit of blood pudding huh? Compliments to the chef. 🤘🏼
He is just a manipulatve evil man, expressing a lot of BS EXPRESSED IN A WAY THAT makes it impossible to follow or make sense. Don’t be fooled, he has destroyed a lot of lives
The knot of His tie just so happens depict the Kaballah Tree of Life! Synchronicity! Thank you for including these lectures, they are invaluable to me.
Wow good eye, it really does look like it. Guarantee this douche bag is all about the esoteric teachings of the kabbalah. It is a fascinating subject though. The practitioners of that science just happen to be running the whole world right now so maybe there's something to it.
All the money in the world hasn't and wont save this lost soul...he'll come back in the next life, but this time he will experience what it is like to be homeless and starving. A society in which he was a big contributor. Wishing you all the best in the next life George. Hang in there, you can do it.
@LAUCH3D if you see someone about to walk off a cliff, would you not try to save him? If you thought someone was being manipulated by religious lies, would you not try to open their eyes? And if you thought someone was deceiving the masses through advertising souped up verbalized lies wrapped in beautiful fame and fortune, wouldn't you want to open their eyes? I cant speak for the guy above you, but I can say that if the goal is to gain wisdom, I would encourage you to expand your viewpoints that would even include religious figures, such as Jesus. I listened to this lecture by George. I may not agree, but I didn't come here to bash him. I actually came to see what he was about. Just thoughts for you. All the best!
The “I am an intellectual goddam it. Treat me with respect. Here look - I made up this shit and paid people to like it. See, I am smart. So please allow me my hobby of overthrowing governments and manipulating whole societies for my own nebulous ends.
I wonder if George has gone back to making money since he said he had done that before after he felt he'd failed as a philosopher. I wonder how many people would pick up his ideas and run with them. George can go perhaps many directions but he's stated two ways....., making money and wanting to do good with his ideas or philosophy. I don't know where his mind is at this time, but it does no good to call him names. We should encourage the side that wants to help the world. I really don't know how far his open society goes, but according to him, all can participate in making the world a better place. If George reads this, and I hope he does, I'm going to be participatory in a reality that you want to help the world not to hurt it, and that Quantum Physics in connection with at least some of your ideas needs to be heard. You are right. We can influence our world by our thoughts and ideas, and beliefs. Our world needs to know that.
I think philosophy isn't made to be settled into being an individual work of mind and thought in different areas and culture to the age of the man or woman it's a good thing to be open to agreeing with and disagree with what isn't in your own thought of the same person's philosophy they're people in different positions that are more likely education professors or scholars and not actually sure at this point about much of the details of the philosopher realized ghost writing and deception in this age I'm hitting the walls at times he's Sun Tzu and war is his art for he seen it up close and father had spoken about it to him he's said with a helpless position in these places that made him a target of dislike I'd say he's been amazing to be unheard of till the end he achieved the recognition I have to think he has cleared the board.
Mr Soros’s own philosophy is a good example of reflexivity. His theories of cause and effect are themselves self referencing within and endless loop from which he cannot escape. I do believe he’s identified a very real condition, but not one that supersedes absolute laws, rather something that is subject to the absolute. In other words, Mr Soros try’s to make the subjective, objective after already identifying the subjective as being what it is; Subjective. Ultimately reflexivity is a condition of absurdity. That much is true.
Thanks for opening up so that any fear people have about the opinions about open society can be analyzed by those on the sidelines. Nice effort 👍❤️ Makes world a better place where open discourse is allowed.
He understand the human brain so extremely well that can predict anything a human does. like he said in the beginning, I'm a person that should be taken seriously and wrote a book about it and still no one understood. Then he wrote a second one and still no one gets him. The word genius doesn't even come close to him.
I hear his teachings...they are garbage, and how to manipulate others....no enlightenment....pure lies....I dont believe his. Objective points......they are subjectively viewed to fit his need, to sale his view......im not deceived i to thinking hes brilliant.....hes a thief
The Lecture has really opened my eyes to the open society. The world in today's time would be good for both Economic and Political climates as we globalize. I'm going to study more of lectures. Excellent reality conceptual perspective.
But did you know that he is in favor of a New World Order hitlers ideology? Or am I confused? I know that many member of The New World Order are not all evil but why try to make the entire world to be the same when we are all different and it’s okay as long as it’s not a sin or a crime. Why should everyone be forced to be in a one same world bank and government and religion? You can stop hunger and crime without forcing people into a one same world government.
why people who don't like Soros in the first place come and make negative comments? Restrain and go away. You guys make me think of the situation you have to drive up to see the face of driver who piss you off....
The lecture has broken my brain a little bit;) but I liked the point where he talks about how participants, who are responsible for the very reality they are creating, cannot grasp its complexity, and resort to generalizations, labels etc. I think that's why there are so many trolling comments on this video.
He's a controversial figure. As someone who only read the Alchemy Of Finance recently, I have to agree that it's philosophically interesting, but not particularly deep or profound. I recall understanding the concept of reflexivity as a child trading baseball cards and rather regard the book as an easy way for Soros to make money off of people who have never given one serious thought to the subject of finance. I can't imagine that many top financiers really doubted the validity of reflexivity, even if they made money pretending otherwise. And that he knows this, I think that's where the conspiracies about Soros come from...
@@onetwothree4148 I'm a black male and have known about high and low reflexivity for a while. For me, it's rather interesting that he speaks on reflexivity and backs groups like BLM and Prison Reform. I don't believe in race at all, and I think it's purpose is solely to highlight differences in people. Through social proof, in a low reflexive phase, people follow others just because of the way they look. High reflexive social proof phases allow others to look towards character, which is obviously less superficial than skin color. That is why it is very odd that he backs BLM, knowing spectrum of reflexivity. If he's not being sinister, he probably knows a way to break low reflexivity in the black community, and isn't showing his full hand. He's aware of some plot to do harm to minority communities and sought to reinforce solidarity or hive mind thinking, showing strength through numbers. If he is being sinister, I can only see this as the negative branding of blacks, or a way for him to make money (idk why black police shootings get more air time than white ones on the news), etc. If he's aloof, then he's just one of the many people who believe in race and cannot think outside of that box
@@VonJay interesting take. I'd assume he's like most people and never questioned racial politics in his life. People are very religious about that topic and tend to merely reinforce whatever they already believe about that. And you're right, many famous wealthy people are too morally insecure to risk taking any controversial stances on those topics, even if they do think otherwise
@@cuttyflam6136 yeah it's very weird. However, Steve Bannon actually worked for Cambridge Analytica, the company which pushed the most amount of Brexit propaganda. Brexit imo served as a petri dish for the 2016 US elections. It was an absolute masterful propaganda campaign. It even used intersectionality to stemmy the feminist movement. The biggest problem I have is massive amounts of people aren't smart enough to know that they're being manipulated. In what way is it productive for the feminist movement, to talk about the intersectional differences between treatment of woman based on color. That conversation has the ability to impedes the emotional inertia of the overall movement.
Ah, hearing Soros talk about reflexivity makes it make sense (Patrick Boyle's description was pretty vague). If I were to rephrase my understanding so far I would say that it is akin to the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Certainty is not possible? Are you certain of that? Such circular reasoning is only possible when you don't have a goal in mind. Yes, certainty *_is_* possible. Its accomplishment depends on what price are you willing to pay to find it.
Exactly. I used to wonder why politicians keep spouting absolute bullshit in the face of hard statistics proving them wrong, but now I understand what has filled their minds. Reflexivity is just a snake oil term for keep lying and lying until everyone believes it is true. The truth doesn't matter, only what you can make people believe. They used to call this charlatanism, now i guess it is called "Reflexivity".
Looks like letsdothisshiat taught you something about discussing known facts with the loony left liberals. Here's some Liberal strategy: Call it conspiracy theory. If you can't call it conspiracy theory then call them racist. If you can't call them racist then call them racist anyhow because none of what you say makes sense anyhow.
Id love to see his proof that Heisenberg uncertainty principle not changing particle behavior... Those experiments were percepts that became shared percepts, and they might very well change things
In fact he thinks he's so slick that he can gloss over the fact that Heisenberg uncertainty principle proves dispositively that science can never find Truth. ROFL
This idea about social sciences incuding causative, manipulative is the same conclusion that I have come to in my study of human behavior, relationships and in the realm of creating our best quality of life. So, if we see that the outcomes are reflexive, unpredictable and based on our interaction with them, then doesn't it just make perfect sense to realize that we are making it up all the time? And, if we are making it up, doesn't it make sense to envision the best possible outcomes, speak of that vision, act as if it is already so? Then the reflection will be in response to our creation? In the realm of all possibilities, all possibilities are possible so why would we choose to make up something crappy, sad, miserable or violent when what you are projecting into the world is causative? If we realize that socially we are always making it up and reality is showing us back the reflex action isn't it just sane, clear and sensible to make up what we want to see come true instead of focusing on what we might want to destroy since what we are sending out we are creating? Humans can create what we want but we keep allowing groups of people to be manipulated by sociopaths. These sociopaths drag groups of people who don't have self-deciding mental boundaries in order to protect their own mental processes from being hijacked into: 1. Pointing out an enemy and making that perceptual mental creation of an " outside other" Wrong. 2. Ignoring any of evidence or opinion to the contrary as also an enemy. 3. Persuading the " in" group into believing "we" are all victims against the world. Poor me, poor us. 4. Painting the outside mental concept as a threat that needs to be destroyed or fought against. This can be easily observed in the speeches of dictators whos speeches become the catalyst for war. Just watch any inciting speech and you will see a demonstration of all of the four ways to drain human energy. To be the cause catalyst for group violence is so easy to point out, all you have to do is look for the four ways in the speeches of dictators. These four ways are the cause of all the destruction on our planet. The only way to turn it around is to not use the four draining ways: Wrong Ignore Poor Me Threat When we follow dictators, we all lose and we end up feeling W.I.P. T. We have to do the opposite of W.I.P.T. You have to focus on and create the vision we want: A high quality of life for everyone is what we must choose in order for it to be so. Then everyone can learn to be creative in order to live in a society where everyone is: Safe and welcome, Listened to with openness and Given attention so everyone can feel confident and capable to create their own best life for themselves. Confident and Capable Attention Right Safe and Welcome It doesn't happen on its own, we have to be the drivers of the C.A.R.S. If we want an open society, we must create it in thought, word and deed.
I would correlate that way of thinking to the double slit experiment, I agree with you, we are the creators of our future with our thoughts and imagination , when we think or use our imagination, we are mentally in the future ( unless we are zenning ) we are the artists, we either paint the picture for ourselves or we let others paint it for us, stay healthy, peace
It is fascinating to see, how only one person can do so much damage to the whole world like Soros did and continue to do. He believes he knows whats best for the world and he likes to shape the world into what he believes to be utopia. He doesnt give a shit about our free will or our freedoms. As much as I dislike Soros for his activities around the globe, I have to give him props for being an absolute genius, he has his hand in everything and has an influence like no other person on earth. He has a messiah complex (he said he thinks of himself as a God) and that I believe drives him. What a strange person.
@@DasMirror He influences media, universities, in my country he had his hand in presidential elections and his "guy" won twice in my country. So basically he has the president in his pocket. This is the case not only in my country but also in a neighbouring country as well. This guy also has the democrats in USA in his pockets as well, the border crisis in america has Soros handwriting on it self (open society), nothing is a coincidence. He destabilized multiple currencies and state economies through his trading activities around the world causing much suffering. etc. etc. it goes too deep and there is too much to talk about here.
I don't think "reflexivity" was explained. Only the "principle" : "False views lead to inappropriate actions." It can't be a generalized truth, because it's too vague. I don't think any action is the result of only one (or more) false views. And, what is an inappropriate action? Something that is not in line with ones intention? I don't think people have full knowledge of their intentions. And an intent doesn't necessarily encompass specific consequences which follow the action. And there are different kinds of actions and intents of course.
his philosophy is so poorly developed... it's a damn shame... He gets really close to actually getting somewhere, but then gets lost in the complexity of his own system. The problem is he's constantly avoiding what reality is by working backwards from what it could be then looping the whole thing.
So his theory sounds like a word play reflecting the same Mr Market idea of Benjamin graham ... in still waiting to see what so unique and different ..
TLDR: market participants and policy makers are irrational and the over/under valuations of certain asset classes reflect that irrationality through bubbles.
I would argue, they are not irrational. Given whatever imperfect information they have, they have made the rational decision. The information is imperfect not the minds. Fix the imperfect information and you can make people more rational.

Listening to his choice of words, he's definitely full of himself, even self-important. Money has diminishing returns after 1/2 billion dollars. The best the world offers... food, experience, etc is capped at that amount, and after that, some of these billionaires turn their meaning-of-life seeking energies to influencing and controlling humanity. I wish they'd leave us alone.

Subjectivity = Perception while Objectivity = Reality, I agree, completely. Personal (past) experience, passions, misinterpretation and prejudices affect one’s perception, which often are NOT congruent with actual Reality.
Please correct me if I misunderstood you
Example: It will be extremely difficult for a person used to being robbed by others to trust even those whom are fundamentally honest (who in representing the true Reality, do not reflect that person’s Reality or least his/her own Perception of Reality, “Perception” being the keyword, here)
The rest of what you speak of reminds me of Schrödinger’s Cat, where we corrupt Truth/Reality by OBSERVING it.
I’m really enjoying this talk. I will most certainly seek the following ones you offer. I will also be getting your book “The Alchemy of Finance”
“I contend that the slavish imitation of natural science inevitably leads to the distortion of human and social phenomena.” The man’s on point right there.
Well to be honest the Anglosaksian self correcting mechanisme to compete with the imaginairy science will lead to opportunisme of self awareness therefor troubling the mind to the point of falsefied view on scientific argued reality. It will bring participants in conflict with non binary principles and cause a false view on the subject. However if it is and stays in line with scientific laws and proved by testing it is verifiable. Predictions will only be rational if they follow that principle and create a symmetrie as a concept for supreme simplicity as a central rol in relative knowledgement.

What would you recommend?
Rich man imposing his philosophy on the world. In a nut shell.
By giving a lecture? Where are his armies, his bombs, his artillery, his ships? What punishments does he inflict on those who don't obey him?
The man is expressing his views. Yes, he is very rich. You can listen to him or tune him out. He has no power over you. He is not interested in ruling the world. He is interested, now that he has made his pile of money, in promoting freedom of speech and the other basic freedoms.
He is now a man in his 90s, probably pretty frail. He probably doesn't have the energy to get up every morning and rule the world. He probably is happy if he can get a good breakfast and relieve himself without too much strain.
He is a successful capitalist. He started out poor and had the smarts and the luck to make himself rich. Isn't that the way capitalism is supposed to work?
Let's face it, the main thing that most of his enemies hold against him is not his wealth-- there are many people as rich as he is, or richer -- by the fact that he is a Jew.
For some people the very words "rich Jew" are deeply upsetting. The most prominent holder of this view was Adolf Hitler, who rose form the streets to rule a major country, and used his power to murder as many Jews as he could -- about 6 million of them.
The people who hate Soros are like Hitler in their hatred of Jews, especially rich Jews. They are vicious people, murderous, filled with hate and rage. Luckily most of them are too weak or too stupid or too cowardly to do anything about their hatred. They just like to express it. They hope that another Hitler will come along and do their dirty work for them.
These people would crucify Christ all over again if they had the chance. After all, he too was a Jew.

Social sciences suffer from the suspicion that they are not as precise as natural science. Soros says social sciences are in fact imprecise, but this can be used to advantage. Perception can influence what is observed in a social science, and the ways that perception vary results can be studied.
And both are sometimes lies and manipulation like the many lies on tv media
After a 1/2 hour there is nothing new or inspired. I realised this by 10.
Understand that his theory is revolutionary since prior understanding of behaviour in the financial market is that participants act in their best interest. This is obviously wrong. Human beings on a day-to-day basis will act against their own self-interest. Reflexivity only has more moving parts in explaining this concept.
Not true all the finacial pudits of old clamied the markets are emotionally driven and predictable its in recent times the claim that markets are rational and fair. The Japanese candlesticks are an example of reading emotional buying and selling pressures from the 18th century.

When you have read Ken Wilber, you no longer need to hear any other philosophy, it's game over.
After that it is time to practice disidentification with thought and realization of being as the ground of reality
Only from awareness can any true change come and any worthwhile society be created, or anything worthy to be created
What should I start reading from Wilber? Any advice?
And who set's the standards for these worthy to be created if you could kindly provide. I just think the influence of the reporting in multiple factors are defamatory if you're believing in the world I can't see for myself to make anyone my God.
Why could ken not demonstrate his own knowledge in this time
This works in people as well - when I was younger I used to make drawings and when I showed them to my teacher she said I was a genius. But she said that of everyones drawings! The positive feedback loop I got made me think I was quite brilliant (in my own bubble). Long story short; I was no genius
This was a simple lie and not a positive feedback loop. You didn’t understand Soros lesson.
If you want to be a genius you do like me. You study other geniuses. Then you master their technique. Then you choose which one you´d like to make a drawing or a painter like. Then you invent new things. Most people stop at the point of just studying other geniuses but do not make any new things. For example if you want to study Leonardo Da Vinci, you can not just study him and make no drawing that is like his on your own.
This is quite like the Pygmalion effect.
You're not looking at the bigger picture it's not about the individual
wut I don’t think your seeing the bigger picture like hearing but not listening, no mass population should ever be subjected to mass thought manipulation or told how to think. He’s preaching an open society but he is talking about controlling HOW people think or how they should live. That for example is why America is for and about freedom to live and think freely, his foundations are by force trying to manipulate or tell you HOW you or a society how to think. I don’t give a shit about his story or life. America is just fine without him or his socialist ideas. FUCK GEORGE SOROS.

Well, his point is right. Economics by nature is a social science. It is not as exact as engineering, physics, or computer science. Understanding economics needs psychology, biology, and philosophy, but it needs numbers and models to those theories. These economic theories are not exact and we should not treat them like the laws of gravity because economics is very new and not set on stone. It needs to be dynamic.
No one ever said economics is 'exact'. Very few sciences are as 'exact' as physics, and even there quantum mechanics isn't exact.
@@themaskedman221 Quantum mechanics is pretty exact. It's one of the most accurate theories to date
@@themaskedman221 I don't think you understand quantum mechanics lol
@@zhess4096 Quantum logic is _probability theory,_ and thus quantum mechanics is a theory about the statistical distribution of possible outcomes of measurements in atomic and subatomic systems (ie, atoms and subatomic particles). It is the _least_ exact of the physical sciences by the very nature of probability (probability theory is, in a literal sense, the "science of uncertainty").
" I don't think you understand quantum mechanics lol"
You don't _think_ anything about this subject, because you don't know what you're talking about. Nor does Soros understand the nature of the natural sciences vs economics. He clings to Popper's philosophical theories as if they are immovable objects, and then completely misapplies them .
@@themaskedman221 Exactly, you could the say stuff about the social sciences, but sociology, economics, and political science, but they rely on psychology and human behavior.
We are arguing in semantics here so I digress. Exact isn't the proper word, but precise is the better word.
Mathematics and logic are not natural sciences, but they are the most precise science we have.
Quantum mechanics is the most precise natural science we have. We have problems with measurement, but it has a high probability of predictions. It has been tried and tested.
Above that we have physics and general relativity. Then chemistry, biology, and neuroscience, psychology.
Above those are economics and other social sciences? Are we okay with that?
Around about 32:00, Conscerning thinking and human affairs, and thinking having no causal effect on reality: I understand that human thinking is part of the state of nature and can also be a manipulative force. For instance if trees hold top soil innately and humans realize this then they plant trees to aid in stopping soil erosion. Similarly if we notice the mind has some natural or innate tendencies, once noticed and understood can be grown to have desired effect. Yes this is manipulation, and yet it arises even if one does not manipulate, albeit more haphazardly or sporadic.

Similarly, via the phenomenon of auto-synchronizing metronomes, the presence of 2 wheels (illustration alternative to pillars) are needed for there to be a stabilizing balance. A different circumstance needing an assortment of conditions to be fulfilled, among which is ones of a number aesthetically few and versatile
He says uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs not confidence/certainty, which makes sense because confidence/certainty doesn't carry as much weight room as a word or concept including degree and a sense of accurateness. If anything they are at least equals, certainty and doubt (19:40). The former is like "1" without degradation or variation whereas doubt does - it is the one with variation, description or information. Confidence has degrees too or is also of capability but he makes a good point.

I wonder if George has gone back to making money since he said he had done that before after he felt he'd failed as a philosopher. I wonder how many people would pick up his ideas and run with them. George can go perhaps many directions but he's stated two ways....., making money and wanting to do good with his ideas or philosophy. I don't know where his mind is at this time, but it does no good to call him names. We should encourage the side that wants to help the world. I really don't know how far his open society goes, but according to him, all can participate in making the world a better place. If George reads this, and I hope he does, I'm going to be participatory in a reality that you want to help the world not to hurt it, and that Quantum Physics in connection with at least some of your ideas needs to be heard. You are right. We can influence our world by our thoughts and ideas, and beliefs. Our world needs to know that.

NO absolutely NOT a crazy maniac
Suggest that he may offer lecture on the subject "General Theory of Plundering and Usurpation" or "The Art of Bloodsucking"
That what this talk is about
Mr Soros’s own philosophy is a good example of reflexivity. His theories of cause and effect are themselves self referencing within and endless loop from which he cannot escape. I do believe he’s identified a very real condition, but not one that supersedes absolute laws, rather something that is subject to the absolute. In other words, Mr Soros try’s to make the subjective, objective after already identifying the subjective as being what it is; Subjective. Ultimately reflexivity is a condition of absurdity. That much is true.

I hear his teachings...they are garbage, and how to manipulate others....no enlightenment....pure lies....I dont believe his. Objective points......they are subjectively viewed to fit his need, to sale his view......im not deceived i to thinking hes brilliant.....hes a thief

Isn't this pretty much the same concept as the Keynsian beuty contest?
The Lecture has really opened my eyes to the open society. The world in today's time would be good for both Economic and Political climates as we globalize. I'm going to study more of lectures. Excellent reality conceptual perspective.
But did you know that he is in favor of a New World Order hitlers ideology? Or am I confused? I know that many member of The New World Order are not all evil but why try to make the entire world to be the same when we are all different and it’s okay as long as it’s not a sin or a crime. Why should everyone be forced to be in a one same world bank and government and religion? You can stop hunger and crime without forcing people into a one same world government.

why people who don't like Soros in the first place come and make negative comments? Restrain and go away.
You guys make me think of the situation you have to drive up to see the face of driver who piss you off....
The lecture has broken my brain a little bit;) but I liked the point where he talks about how participants, who are responsible for the very reality they are creating, cannot grasp its complexity, and resort to generalizations, labels etc. I think that's why there are so many trolling comments on this video.
He's a controversial figure. As someone who only read the Alchemy Of Finance recently, I have to agree that it's philosophically interesting, but not particularly deep or profound.
I recall understanding the concept of reflexivity as a child trading baseball cards and rather regard the book as an easy way for Soros to make money off of people who have never given one serious thought to the subject of finance.
I can't imagine that many top financiers really doubted the validity of reflexivity, even if they made money pretending otherwise. And that he knows this, I think that's where the conspiracies about Soros come from...
@@onetwothree4148 I'm a black male and have known about high and low reflexivity for a while. For me, it's rather interesting that he speaks on reflexivity and backs groups like BLM and Prison Reform.
I don't believe in race at all, and I think it's purpose is solely to highlight differences in people. Through social proof, in a low reflexive phase, people follow others just because of the way they look. High reflexive social proof phases allow others to look towards character, which is obviously less superficial than skin color.
That is why it is very odd that he backs BLM, knowing spectrum of reflexivity.
If he's not being sinister, he probably knows a way to break low reflexivity in the black community, and isn't showing his full hand.
He's aware of some plot to do harm to minority communities and sought to reinforce solidarity or hive mind thinking, showing strength through numbers.
If he is being sinister, I can only see this as the negative branding of blacks, or a way for him to make money (idk why black police shootings get more air time than white ones on the news), etc.
If he's aloof, then he's just one of the many people who believe in race and cannot think outside of that box
@@VonJay interesting take. I'd assume he's like most people and never questioned racial politics in his life. People are very religious about that topic and tend to merely reinforce whatever they already believe about that. And you're right, many famous wealthy people are too morally insecure to risk taking any controversial stances on those topics, even if they do think otherwise
You smart😂
@@cuttyflam6136 yeah it's very weird. However, Steve Bannon actually worked for Cambridge Analytica, the company which pushed the most amount of Brexit propaganda. Brexit imo served as a petri dish for the 2016 US elections. It was an absolute masterful propaganda campaign. It even used intersectionality to stemmy the feminist movement.
The biggest problem I have is massive amounts of people aren't smart enough to know that they're being manipulated. In what way is it productive for the feminist movement, to talk about the intersectional differences between treatment of woman based on color. That conversation has the ability to impedes the emotional inertia of the overall movement.

Ah, hearing Soros talk about reflexivity makes it make sense (Patrick Boyle's description was pretty vague). If I were to rephrase my understanding so far I would say that it is akin to the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Telling truth but still evil
He should have been on yes Minister .
Certainty is not possible? Are you certain of that?
Such circular reasoning is only possible when you don't have a goal in mind. Yes, certainty *_is_* possible. Its accomplishment depends on what price are you willing to pay to find it.
I'm going to buy all his books see what he's all about. His investment strategies do work.
Trick or treat
Why does he keep flicking his hand like that?
2:47 & 4:40
Turning pages
yeah, slides for the teleprompter.
I can see his reflexivity in the real world. His media calls things racist, and they 'become' racist. Or sexist.
Exactly. I used to wonder why politicians keep spouting absolute bullshit in the face of hard statistics proving them wrong, but now I understand what has filled their minds. Reflexivity is just a snake oil term for keep lying and lying until everyone believes it is true. The truth doesn't matter, only what you can make people believe. They used to call this charlatanism, now i guess it is called "Reflexivity".
***** Cultural Marxism: the original memers
***** I guess religions are memes too
Looks like letsdothisshiat taught you something about discussing known facts with the loony left liberals. Here's some Liberal strategy: Call it conspiracy theory. If you can't call it conspiracy theory then call them racist. If you can't call them racist then call them racist anyhow because none of what you say makes sense anyhow.
"There is no truth. There is only you and what you make the truth."
Open society and it's enemies... the people living in that society.
16:45 he was waiting for applause
Id love to see his proof that Heisenberg uncertainty principle not changing particle behavior... Those experiments were percepts that became shared percepts, and they might very well change things
In fact he thinks he's so slick that he can gloss over the fact that Heisenberg uncertainty principle proves dispositively that science can never find Truth. ROFL
This idea about social sciences incuding causative, manipulative is the same conclusion that I have come to in my study of human behavior, relationships and in the realm of creating our best quality of life.
So, if we see that the outcomes are reflexive, unpredictable and based on our interaction with them, then doesn't it just make perfect sense to realize that we are making it up all the time?
And, if we are making it up, doesn't it make sense to envision the best possible outcomes, speak of that vision, act as if it is already so? Then the reflection will be in response to our creation?
In the realm of all possibilities, all possibilities are possible so why would we choose to make up something crappy, sad, miserable or violent when what you are projecting into the world is causative?
If we realize that socially we are always making it up and reality is showing us back the reflex action isn't it just sane, clear and sensible to make up what we want to see come true instead of focusing on what we might want to destroy since what we are sending out we are creating?
Humans can create what we want but we keep allowing groups of people to be manipulated by sociopaths. These sociopaths drag groups of people who don't have self-deciding mental boundaries in order to protect their own mental processes from being hijacked into:
1. Pointing out an enemy and making that perceptual mental creation of an " outside other" Wrong.
2. Ignoring any of evidence or opinion to the contrary as also an enemy.
3. Persuading the " in" group into believing
"we" are all victims against the world. Poor me, poor us.
4. Painting the outside mental concept as a threat that needs to be destroyed or fought against.
This can be easily observed in the speeches of dictators whos speeches become the catalyst for war.
Just watch any inciting speech and you will see a demonstration of all of the four ways to drain human energy.
To be the cause catalyst for group violence is so easy to point out, all you have to do is look for the four ways in the speeches of dictators.
These four ways are
the cause of all the destruction on our planet.
The only way to turn it around is to not use the four draining ways:
Wrong
Ignore
Poor Me
Threat
When we follow dictators, we all lose and we end up feeling
W.I.P. T.
We have to do the opposite of W.I.P.T.
You have to focus on and create the vision we want:
A high quality of life for everyone is what we must choose in order for it to be so.
Then everyone can learn to be creative in order to live in a society where everyone is:
Safe and welcome,
Listened to with openness and
Given attention so everyone can feel confident and capable to create their own best life for themselves.
Confident and Capable
Attention
Right
Safe and Welcome
It doesn't happen on its own, we have to be the drivers of the C.A.R.S.
If we want an open society, we must create it in thought, word and deed.
What the fuck are you babbling about?
God is in the details. We just have to push those details to the rigth place.

I would correlate that way of thinking to the double slit experiment, I agree with you, we are the creators of our future with our thoughts and imagination , when we think or use our imagination, we are mentally in the future ( unless we are zenning ) we are the artists, we either paint the picture for ourselves or we let others paint it for us, stay healthy, peace

reflexivity is very interesting in the crypto market, wich is mainly driven by people fear and influence
It is fascinating to see, how only one person can do so much damage to the whole world like Soros did and continue to do. He believes he knows whats best for the world and he likes to shape the world into what he believes to be utopia. He doesnt give a shit about our free will or our freedoms. As much as I dislike Soros for his activities around the globe, I have to give him props for being an absolute genius, he has his hand in everything and has an influence like no other person on earth. He has a messiah complex (he said he thinks of himself as a God) and that I believe drives him. What a strange person.
what does he influence?
@@DasMirror He influences media, universities, in my country he had his hand in presidential elections and his "guy" won twice in my country. So basically he has the president in his pocket. This is the case not only in my country but also in a neighbouring country as well. This guy also has the democrats in USA in his pockets as well, the border crisis in america has Soros handwriting on it self (open society), nothing is a coincidence. He destabilized multiple currencies and state economies through his trading activities around the world causing much suffering. etc. etc. it goes too deep and there is too much to talk about here.
It’s cause he’s Satan he hides behind the chaos he causes ..stays behind the scenes
He is the best guy ever .
I don't think "reflexivity" was explained.
Only the "principle" : "False views lead to inappropriate actions."
It can't be a generalized truth, because it's too vague. I don't think any action is the result of only one (or more) false views. And, what is an inappropriate action? Something that is not in line with ones intention? I don't think people have full knowledge of their intentions. And an intent doesn't necessarily encompass specific consequences which follow the action. And there are different kinds of actions and intents of course.
+nemnoton Patience, my brother. Let the man speil out his further explication.
his philosophy is so poorly developed... it's a damn shame...
He gets really close to actually getting somewhere, but then gets lost in the complexity of his own system.
The problem is he's constantly avoiding what reality is by working backwards from what it could be then looping the whole thing.
textbook example of bad philosophy
+nemnoton Maybe you could get inspired by Tao Te Ching.
+Xueqin Chen I love Tao Teh Ching, I have it in my bookshelf!
Great teacher
GOD HELP US.🙏🙏❤👍🇬🇧
Absolutely.
LORD bring this man to his knees unto YOU
There is nothing elastic about what he is saying: There is nothing descriptive of his philosophy.the whole talk is a make up of words flip floping.
So his theory sounds like a word play reflecting the same Mr Market idea of Benjamin graham ... in still waiting to see what so unique and different ..
So would you say I could study that and skip Georgie's speech?
the difference is actually gone over in the alchemy of finance. written by soros
TLDR: market participants and policy makers are irrational and the over/under valuations of certain asset classes reflect that irrationality through bubbles.
I would argue, they are not irrational. Given whatever imperfect information they have, they have made the rational decision. The information is imperfect not the minds. Fix the imperfect information and you can make people more rational.
