George Soros Lecture Series: General Theory of Reflexivity

Open Society Foundations chairman and founder George Soros shares his latest thinking on economics and politics in a five-part lecture series recorded at Central European University, October 26-30, 2009. The lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection.
Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insights into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Soros's global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😴

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Hi Mr. Soros, Your concepts on Thought-Passion and Consciousness needs expanding, it is incorrect in my view. The mind is not material as you think, the mind is knowledge it is existence, ever-expanding and ever-growing. Look inside of you to see how you evolved, you are mind, like all of us. Economics is a measurement of naturalization of human activity. Already knowledgeable, but our bodies is what gives us human emotional based behaviors and habits. However, it is always subject to change. And, subject to a reflective reactive concepts. It is subject also to the mind capacity which itself is a learned traits of the society. If you read literature by ancients, doesnt it strike a strange feeling their complexity in language at a time we thought them to be more impulsive ? How we think matters more than what we know. But, your concepts are really good from your perspective and Really well worth learning. thank you.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.
