What if you knew what your coworkers really thought about you and what they were really like? Ray Dalio makes the business case for using radical transparency and algorithmic decision-making to create an idea meritocracy where people can speak up and say what they really think -- even calling out the boss is fair game. Learn more about how these strategies helped Dalio create one of the world's most successful hedge funds and how you might harness the power of data-driven group decision-making.

    First rate genius. Excited to be living at a time when information like this is available everywhere.
  • @surajjoshi1555
    Collective decision making is way better than individual decision making if it’s done right! Great words Mr. Dalio
  • @tinanyongesa
    This is just awesome! What a time to be alive. Thank you kindly for all the thought-provoking ways to radically transform our lives.❤️

    When you're worth $17 Billion you can wear wtf you want okay? Also, this guy is a legend.
  • @bookbeaches892
    This guy has a beautiful voice. Glad he did the audio version of principle mostly himself! Great talk though. kitchenentrepreneur
  • @galeru
    This man echoes with my thoughts and do it so eloquently. If there is ever some esoteric fundamental truths in this world, what he's talking about is certainly some of them.
  • @kidd2128
    Wow this is really powerful content. Very informative! One of the best I've seen, it actually made me think that I am okay and there are people who simply can't open their mind to try to understand what I am saying sometimes. Thank you very much for sharing this information.
  • @jamesr2991
    Dalio's speech gave some great thoughts on investing and dot collecting algorithms. I enjoyed the segment on our emotional and intellectual sides that are constantly at odds.
  • @KNIGHTEXPLORER1
    Speckles One of the best TED talks I've seen, he is an incredibly interesting guy!
  • @Brelicity
    The biggest issue I see is social pressure from seeing other peoples results. The social pressure of not wanting to be called out, or the social pressure to follow what other people are doing. These social cues are hardwired and can change the flow of decisions within a group.
  • That was quite amazing talk by Ray Dalio. It all seems to have developed from his evaluation of the default of Mexico in August of 1982. He deemed himself as having been too arrogant and found a way to stress test his opinions with the help of his staff, algorythms and computers.
  • @joaoegoncalvess
    Awesome! Ray went further on it than anybody else in how to take better decisions. Thanks a lot Ray.
  • Great Talk..i also just finished his book - 'Principles', and i must say that it is an eye opener, you can learn a lot from this man and his way of thinking!
  • @Kongolox
    Brilliant! simply brilliant! this gives more power to the people who have more experience on a subject.

    A bright and rare example of advanced consciousness and the beauty of genuine perfection in its manifestation. For the first time in my life i see a person with a very similar to mine perception of the `world`. Identical thoughts about honesty, transparency, people's static unflexible opinions that hurts each one of its bearers and at the same time ego not giving you a chance to admit delusion, like an evil firewall, keeps mind in it's own prison, causing infinite algorithm that distorting information on input before analysis. Was very surprized. I am sincerely glad that this man exists somewhere and have intensions to improve all humanity trying explain his understanding of "fixing" and how to evolve. It's a true Wonder for me. Feel's goOod
  • @tomasramilison
    This is absolutely fantastic, so grateful he shared it.
  • By now I've listened to Ray's TED talk many times, often as I was reading the transcript. In my opinion he was right about the dept crisis in 1982 and thereby deserved a hearing by the congress.
  • @liangdong7462
    Bought his book and really helpful to my personal growth.
  • Awesome! What a wise man Ray is. Love the way he managed to create a healthy environment for meaningful and effective relationships. So smart, so simple, so genius!
