Modern Manipulation: How Tech Companies Are Using Behavioral Economics (w/ Raoul Pal and Dee Smith) financial deepmind

I'm a true believer in privacy. Except when an individual or group decides to invade some one else's privacy. I think there should exist some way to hold people accountable. Not talking about centralized controls. But rather a system of identity that would have people behave in a more responsible way. I haven't a clue how, but I hope someone can figure it out.

I think Raoul and Dee are missing the point. I think people are missing the freedom from government, big business and the constant manipulation etc from back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. There is danger in any time period but the amount of freedom from nosey parkers is getting less and less.

Thanks for the great discussion 🙂

I agree globalization was the Center piece of division you see today. China was lifted from poverty and misery at the expense of western blue-collar. Only a “progressive liberals” don’t see it only because of their ideology.

Humanity can't "muddle through" climate change.

Oh no… the blockchain & anti-government parts are dangerous. Governments have a better record than businesses. There is not a single business that has a better record than government in a multi-faceted test.

Raoul always impresses with his processor speed…but the question Dee asked about his origin story of 1940's capitalism til now…has me playing it all out and not being able to find a hole in his thesis. Absolutely nailed unintended consequences on the timeline…lack of savings, consumption, financialization of savings, debt, labor into capital, WTO issues, etc…So thankful this is free 🙂 Joined for paid trial.

I don't believe non-globalized entities; Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Education are expensive because they aren't globalized. I believe they are expensive because they conspired with legislators and financial entities (government/non-government) to create a massive amount of government-funded (backstopped) money to allow them to raise prices through the roof. In the end, "The People" will pay while the architects will cash in.

Tech is accelerating so dramatically. If your not a bit concerned your not seeing the big picture. Machine Leaning is going to put a great deal of people out of work.

last time i looked we live on a finite world when its gone its gone what programs will they write for that

These are such great interviews, i hope more people discover these to become more well informed.

decentralized internet = metanet, internet built on bitcoin. trolling/abuse comes at an expense

There have been thousands of labor-saving devices and none of them buy things…… Robots are just the next example…. Combines but plenty of people out of work as well

Imagine putting full trust and dependence on she state to educate you and yours….

So you have a citation for the meeting between Kahneman and the big tech founders?

amazing conversation, thanks for sharing

So Rao: you really think we in the US should trust the deep state with EVEN MORE access and control to personal data than they are already abusing? Surely you have more common sense than that! There will always be bad actors in places of power because power always corrupts humans. No, Mueller did not get it right. He was there to make it go away to shield the Clintons and Obama. I hope by now you can see that bias of yours has been thrashed to bits. The half of the administration that should, but probably won't, go to jail is no longer in power but cannot reconcile themsleves to accept that fact. They lost it by backing a candidate so obviously evil and corrupt that even the most unsophisticated voters were rubbed the wrong way by her sense of arrogance and entitlement. Only because the corrupt and out of control US intelligence complex remains in place, ignored by a complacent Republican party that deserves a Nobel prize for incompetance, do we seem to be muddling through, as you call it. You both articulate interesting academic points regarding the financial and geopolitical forces and posit relatively benign change scenarios. But I think it is virtually certain real world conditions as the debt bubble unwinds will be unprecedentedly catastrophic and beyond the control of any government or group of allies. The exact start time of the unwind is unpredictable but " will come as a thief in the night" according to my sources.

What is government debt? With permanent zero or negative rates and the ability to continue to roll that debt on and on, when and who becomes the GLOBAL ARBITER OF SOUNDNESS? The BIS was this body for many years, and now they are the worst offenders. Little Switzerland, the bastion of rationality is entrenched in negative rates. The Direct Democracy, prided by its informed citizens, when given the monumental chance to bring back some sense of the gold standard…they rejected it soundly. Do you have eyes to see? The world has gone dead beat debtor!
