Listening to his choice of words, he's definitely full of himself, even self-important. Money has diminishing returns after 1/2 billion dollars.

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.

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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😴
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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 ..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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....
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.

@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!
Why you can have profound philosophical insight that are right about 95% about everything but still be wrong in your action. If you listen closely he admits he was stumped by why the reality of what you see in the world doesn’t seem to correspond to what people say they believe. This is why you should know your enemies arguments better than they do because most often they are not straw men but a force to be reckoned with. The created cannot make rules for the creator. As people we do not live in an open society but still as subjects to Gods law, we can try to find loopholes to this but as the created we must humble ourselves to this truth.
Can't help liking this clear thinking , uplifting great mind, wonderful human, credit to humanity. Love the opportunity for opportunities. You are important .cheers
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.
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.
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.
"Expectation" is subjective and "reality" is objective. The market price of any stock or index as a whole is built upon a lot of future expectations (which subjective thing exposed to fallibility). But when the subjectivity meets objectivity (i.e. expectations meet reality), a market crash can happen. In simple words, EPS of any index you expected to be 1000 for next year. But it turned out to be 800 only. There's a 20% correction.
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
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.
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.
All I can see when I look at him is the carnage he leaves behind as well as a very, very dark future. No matter how much adrenochrome he takes, he can NOT live forever.
I think so many who are liking this are people who themselves want as he did to believe they have some kind of higher enlighten thoughts others couldn't understand making them think themselves gods
I am grateful to learn from Soro’s passion for humanity which is grounded in his father’s passion for family and humanity. Economics is a very complex concept.
'Declaring Government bad leads to accepting of bad Government'.... sure - but declaring it 'Good' empowers the justification of the worst aspects. Which are not easily checked, particularly when those 'in power' BELIEVE that is is 'GOOD'.

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.

What would you recommend?
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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😴

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.
Hi, I remember my dad told me about this interview and I'm wondering if you have the video saved anywhere?
@@durshutt8359 its the 60 minutes interview and its blatantly taken out of context
So sounds like he knows his statements can have negative effects on markets but since the participants also have a role to play he has no guilt.
TLDR: market participants and policy makers are irrational and the over/under valuations of certain asset classes reflect that irrationality through bubbles.

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.
Idiot
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.

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.
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
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
This guy is a straight up G I don’t what anyone else says. That was all off the top of his head
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.

Time is a variable in every "testing" and in the uncertainties of every tester and observer - in physics as well...
not in physics. only when you get to quantum or relativistic tests. you're often testing reproducible principles.

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.

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.

Telling truth but still evil
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.
He never quit.....power and money....his bread of life
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.
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?

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.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle but as relates to Economics.
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
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 ..

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.

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.

@@cuttyflam6136 yeah it's very weird. However, Steve Bannon actually worked for Cambridge Analytica, the company which pushed the most amount of Brexit propaganda.

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.
Vet's for Mr. Soros!!!! Go sir!!!! Don't stop fighting for humanity, let me know what I can do!!!
“Policy-oriented philanthropist” 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"Happy New year, 🎇 old Testament Revealed, the New Testament say, hmmm, 🧐 Omni Bill Gates blocked, hmmm 🤔, Yoda say..."
"Expectation" is subjective and "reality" is objective. The market price of any stock or index as a whole is built upon a lot of future expectations (which subjective thing exposed to fallibility). But when the subjectivity meets objectivity (i.e. expectations meet reality), a market crash can happen. In simple words, EPS of any index you expected to be 1000 for next year. But it turned out to be 800 only. There's a 20% correction.
Honestly, if you put the politics aside and pay close attention, he's actually insanely insightful.
BIG NO!
take that back right now
duh. evidenced by the fact that youtube comments have a low distribution of fund managers
sure if you are a communist.
Translation:
CO-MU-KNEES'M GOO'D.
you really trust this person
NO absolutely NOT a crazy maniac
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.
The word is evil..... smooth talk. ....
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
Geraldo valdez Hi can I talk to you more about your point,please

Open society and it's enemies... the people living in that society.
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.
13 years ago and still as relevant
I'm going to buy all his books see what he's all about. His investment strategies do work.
Trick or treat
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.
Nothing is hidden…………the gist is to deprive them of their function………………as often as possible…………..
Lectures in Fascism, that is what he is good at.
I don’t like this guy but damn he is pretty prolific.
explain why you dont like him?
@@prongs1998ggmu What do you think it is that I don’t like about him?
@@keleko_ You probably believe in conspiracy theories. If you don't believe in conspiracy theories I really don't know why you don't like him.

@@profoot6917 You probably believe in fairy tales. I guess we are even.
You will recognize them by their actions, not by their words.
All I can see when I look at him is the carnage he leaves behind as well as a very, very dark future. No matter how much adrenochrome he takes, he can NOT live forever.
Isn't this pretty much the same concept as the Keynsian beuty contest?
this guy has biden administration on strings
you have to respect him
Glad that America has a competent leader
I would hope he does. Soros seems like a competent intelligent man
I think so many who are liking this are people who themselves want as he did to believe they have some kind of higher enlighten thoughts others couldn't understand making them think themselves gods
I did like this class. Reminds me of Froid. But Jung had some good points too. Well done.
Friod. Sorry spelled it wrong.
You never heard of Froid? The Froidian theory?
Ok. Here's one that's a harder question. For Soros. What do i have in common with Aliya Moldaguiova ? Peter Fechter? Hint is Dominno Effect.
George. How did I know t move the stock two days before market crashed.

LECTURING THE CHICKENS...
@@a1x45h If you think this video is all there is to him you are sadly mistaken. He is evil.
Ashwatthama how much are they paying you?
A successful old man lecturing to people who find him too morally objectionable to follow his example, and therefore will never achieve his success.
@Zombie Nation You can get high quality tin foil for your hats at wal-mart.
@Zombie Nation whatever dude.
I am grateful to learn from Soro’s passion for humanity which is grounded in his father’s passion for family and humanity. Economics is a very complex concept.
He is a legend, however I'm now tired now , anyone for a green tea. lol
Green tea sounds good 👍

Legend?
Somehow more obvious than General Theory of Relativity produced also by a person judaic lineage.
i love the realm of abstractions man.... please stay in it.
Stay in your own communistic government.

'Declaring Government bad leads to accepting of bad Government'.... sure - but declaring it 'Good' empowers the justification of the worst aspects. Which are not easily checked, particularly when those 'in power' BELIEVE that is is 'GOOD'.
I would love the opportunity to discuss these philosophical principles further, if possible.
My general interest is in the development of 'Systems'.
