The Truth About My AI Twin

At this stage in my life, my main goal is to pass along the principles that I have learned that have helped me. Those principles are especially valuable now because the times we are in are so risky. I’m sharing these principles in a bunch of ways—from writing my books and articles to sharing them on social media—and am excited to be joining the new @masterclass Executive program along with other great instructors. Recording the class was a real kick. The first round of sign-ups closes soon, so if you’re interested you can learn more here: https://www.masterclass.com/executive

If you’re interested in learning about my most important investment and economic principles, I designed a course to help you do just that.

It’s called the Dalio Market Principles Online program — a 30-hour curriculum I designed, in partnership with @Wealth Management Institute (WMI).

You’ll learn about the forces that drive markets and asset returns, economic and currency cycles, paradigm shifts, and more. Better yet, you’ll get to test your own thinking in our portfolio simulator so you can learn from your mistakes and be better prepared for the future.

I hope you’ll check it out, if you’re interested here: https://wmi.edu.sg/dmp-online/?utm_source=raydalio_youtube&utm_medium=social_profile&utm_campaign=dmp_program_alwayson&utm_content=channel_banner_link

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to distinguish between what you can control and what you can’t.

You’ll lead a much happier life if you’re able to focus your energy on the things you can influence — like how you treat others — and also learn how to adapt well to everything else.

I’ve found that this perspective has provided me with a lot of equanimity.

After studying over 500 years of history, I’ve found there are really only three things you need to do to build a healthy society.

First, educate your young people well—not just to be capable, but to be civil. If you have capable, civil people in a productive society, that’s a big part of the battle. Second, the finances must be sound: earn more than you spend and have more assets than liabilities. And third, don’t get into a war—internally or externally.

If you can do those three things, you can have a prosperous, self-reinforcing society. #principles #us #society

When new technologies emerge, people often assume the winning technology automatically means winning investments. History shows us that’s rarely the case.

Most companies disappear as competition sorts out the winners and losers, but the underlying technology will endure and continue transforming the world.

So are we in an AI bubble? Yes. But that has nothing to do with the lasting power of this innovation. @allin #ai #bubble #raydalio

In my stage of life, I’m enjoying passing along the principles and thoughts that are helping me in order to help others. I’ve been doing that in my books and videos and here on social media, and I love our back-and-forth exchanges. To build on this, I will also be sharing my articles for free on Substack here: https://raydalio.substack.com/ for those readers who prefer that platform.

These articles will be about principles, tools, and what’s going on with life, work, economics, markets, politics, the changing world order, AI, the Big Cycle, and other such things. I look forward to continuing to get your thoughts and discussing these things with you.

This year, I’d encourage you to consider a unique kind of holiday gift — a donation your friends and family can give to the charity of their choice. This kind of gift is far more meaningful, and it’s simple. Anyone can do it.

If you’re interested, check out organizations like TisBest and @donorschooseorg .

I think gifts like these are more in keeping with what the holiday season is really about, so I wanted to pass it along. #redefinegifting #givingtuesday

When I was a young clerk on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1971, the US ran out of money and defaulted on its debts.

Now, they didn’t say it that way. But by moving away from the gold standard — the idea that people could exchange paper dollars for gold — money, as we understood it, ended.

I expected the stock market to plunge the next day, but when the opening bell rang the market was way up. And it went on to rise nearly 25%.

That surprised me, because I had never experienced a currency devaluation before. But when I looked into it, I discovered the exact same thing happened in 1933 and it had the exact same effect.

But in both cases, breaking the link to gold allowed the US to continue spending more than it earned, and so the value of each dollar fell.
