You know it, this man can be characterized in one word SUBVERSIVE

Look who was right... not funny though... all these poor idiots thinking they are doing good today

bullshit, George Soros's aims are way kinder and bigger than stupid people like you may think.

This is third of 5 lectures, Jonathon.

​@hospitalisblue-rv6qkKnowledge wealth is better than pure financial wealth. Plenty of financially wealthy people that don't have real wealth.

Thank You,Sir.

😂😂😂😂

You can go to Iran and find out....

So fascism it is...cause no criminals there...lol

HUNGARY IS BECOMING A TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY. Recently they got rid of "Proportional Representation" and went back to a system kinder to one man rule or single party rule

​@@donaldedward4951 America is a 1 party rule as well.

Based Hungary

Yeah these places suck too many White people..(if I was George Soros this is probably what he mainly thinks..

I didn't understand a word of that.

I had to read that three times

Things will buff out to put it in layman's terms.

It’s actually a claim about freedom in the best sense of that word. A reflexive society has a capacity to make itself into other forms… even if it is subject to outside influences (influences that do not necessarily share the society’s interests. That’s called colonialism, of course.) When a society is “closed” (is not reflexive), although it can remake things differently (eg its environment or a neighbouring society) … the fact that it is not reflexive (closed) would mean simply that it cannot remake itself … but an outside influence might do just that: with little or no effective opposition from the society itself (the influencer’s success depends on its own capacity to identify and leverage the weaknesses that might be found in any given closed society… such as targeting its decision making class, if any, with corrupting influences) It’s hard to imagine a truly closed society; one that is 100% non-reflexive… but perhaps there are degrees. And that perspective might help explain some distinctions among some societies over the last several centuries (and that is far more explicative than mere “guns germs and steel”)

I asked chatgpt to comment on my comment :) I think cgpt made some of the points a little more clearly: The comment you shared delves into the concept of reflexivity in societies, contrasting "reflexive" and "closed" societies in terms of their ability to self-transform and respond to external influences. This discussion is framed within a broader debate about freedom, autonomy, and external influence (or colonialism). Here's a breakdown and reflection on the points made: Reflexivity in Societies: The concept of a reflexive society, as mentioned, is one that possesses the capacity to critically reflect on itself and adapt or transform accordingly. This reflexivity is a form of freedom in its highest sense because it implies the ability to change course, reformulate values, goals, and societal structures based on self-awareness and self-critique. External Influences and Colonialism: The comment highlights that even reflexive societies are subject to external influences, which may not always align with the society's interests. When such influences are coercive or exploitative, drawing parallels to colonialism, they can significantly impact the society's trajectory, often detrimentally. Closed Societies and Vulnerability: A closed society, described as non-reflexive, lacks this capacity for self-transformation and critical self-reflection. Such societies can still impact their environment or others but are portrayed as inherently vulnerable to external manipulation. This vulnerability stems from an inability to self-examine and adapt, making them susceptible to influences that can exploit their weaknesses, particularly through corruption or coercion of their decision-making bodies. Theoretical Considerations: The notion of a completely non-reflexive (100% closed) society is presented as almost theoretical, suggesting that all societies possess some degree of reflexivity. However, the variability in this capacity can significantly influence a society's history and development, offering a more nuanced explanation of societal differences than theories that rely solely on materialistic or deterministic factors like "guns, germs, and steel." This comment appears to draw on several theoretical frameworks, including those related to sociology, political science, and post-colonial studies. It critiques deterministic explanations of societal development and emphasizes the importance of internal dynamics and the capacity for self-reflection in shaping societal destinies. This perspective encourages a more nuanced analysis of history and society, considering both internal capabilities and external influences in understanding societal changes and trajectories.

The irony is that popper was trying to warn about people like this.

Do you even have the slightest idea who George Soros is? if NO then I am very sorry for you, you have already been enslaved and you don't even know it.

bballcrazeddan23: I agree with you. I do think Soros is correct on many points - but he is thoroughly guilty of the very type of manipulation he claims to be so strongly against. He has become a Machiavellian philosopher king of sorts - this runs entirely counter to his Open Society ideology.

He's like nostradamus - everyone reads what they want into what they hear.

Pretty increadible, as if he was talking about exactly what are state is now and has only deepened in 2022.

GS is evil 👿

Yes, would love it if you could elaborate further!

You are an English Grammatik Nazi.

Firstly, Budapesht is the way it's pronounced in Hungarian, not English. You Hungarians call Vienna Bécs, and refer to Paris (pronounced Paree in France) as Párizs (Paareejs). So what? And he's not the "head" of the CEU - he's its founder. He paid for the whole thing.

👿 🛑 The students at the Viennese SOROS-Uni CEU feign tolerance towards Muslim migrants. The 10th district of Vienna, where the CEE is located, has 70% Muslim people, but the hypocrite students never associate with them. Those liars discriminate Asylum critics as racists🤮

true , people like him always spread lies and fear among people

He did?

A Man of Virtue Oh, to be a man of virtue, With compassion in his soul, To live a life of honor, And to make his heart his goal. To treat his fellow man with kindness, And to love his neighbor true, To be a friend to all who need him, And to help them see it through. For virtue is the key to happiness, And compassion is its guide, To live a life of love and kindness, And to never leave one's side. So let us strive to live with virtue, And to treat each other well, For in the end, it is our kindness, That will make our story tell. And when the final day has come, And we look back on our life, May we be proud of all we've done, And the love we shared in strife. For there is no greater joy in life, Than to be a man of virtue true, To live a life of love and kindness, And to make our hearts anew.

I can understand how people are unsure of his intentions despite his claims to be working towards a more ethical agency. He should have studied power vs force by Hawkins it might have gave him a different understanding for his hypothesis although it does seem to describe basic human tendency whilst try to create a secure financial future for themselves.

He’s talking about establishing new ways of a country’s economy. He’s debunking conceptions of how society works. Voting, freedom of speech and such.

I guess you’re smart enough to appreciate his lecture.

@@KM-om8chhe just has higher pain tolerance

... everything he touches is designed to manipulate the masses... his hate for America and freedom is obvious... Brilliant? Hardly... It's his way or the highway... He's just another Narcissistic Billionaire who believes he knows EVERYTHING...

You're lack of awareness would be startling if I wasn't used to people with 95 IQs waxing philosophic on how they "figured it all out" while not being able to think their way out a paper bag..

Every single time he exhales, he says a lie.

@@Paonporteur And how did you connect trump/trumpism here? 🙈

Are you sure you aren’t just reacting to the echo chamber in the comments? His talk is pretty clear and well organized from a purely technical perspective - he’s basically reading an essay.

@@jdcrow7877 I'm not attacking Mr. Soros. I respectfully disagree about the clarity and organization. And if it was clear then what did he say? I'll clarify the question.... What was in his essay that you could apply to the real world and have some real meaningful success either in your personal life or in monetary policy as it pertains to political affairs? Since it's so clear then please explainml. Because, I assume his speech isn't meant to be an empty suit. Right?

@@jdcrow7877 I've actually listened to eight of his speeches and my take away is this... 1. He believes himself to be a philosophical genius. 2. He's said he's a god. 3. He has no idea what he's talking about. 4. He likes the sound of his own voice.

There are two core fallacies that have had unfortunate widespread adoption. The enlightenment fallacy - that reason can guide society alone (perfect knowledge and expertise is necessary and possible) and the postmodern fallacy - that reason is powerless to actually guide society successfully (knowledge and expertise is not actually possible, manipulation is necessary and desirable). Open societies must be sufficiently democratic to retain connection to reality and the aforementioned fallacies put them in danger.

That would be my flawed summary. I don’t think this is some groundbreaking speech, or that Soros has some kind of special insight. I just find all the comments characterizing this person and the talk in a cartoonish way very suspect and herd-like.

Examples?

Do not guve u mony to quantum fund, it is dangerous

Hypocrite & false man belongjng to the well know tribe,,,

His real name george swartz from hungary same tribe of popper

🤣🤣🤣

#SubconsciousProgramming #StimulusResponse #SleepMindControl These are a few of your favorite things. #OpenSociety came from #KarlPopper not #GeorgeSoros.

Lol Lynda the automobile was invented by Karl Benz from Germany and the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell a immigrant from Scotland.

God Luis, wake up and do some requisite research on GS

Yeah that’s why we dealing with 4 million Haitians. Cause of this utopian b.s. couple years d.r is gonna be gonna gone sigue ahy de ignorante

Can you shut up?

Blah blah blah blah blah

Then you can explain to the World, On “How The Universe,Were Created?.”

Your mean insidious. He’s evil 👿

"Open borders" isn't a real thing. It's just racist propaganda. It's not fair to demonize good people who just want a better life for themselves and their families. It's evil.

Lots of what he talks about has been discussed by past philosephers . Question is who should impose open society ? Why ? Without consent ? Etc

I agree he is smart and mis described in media

@@Paonporteur utter nonsense ... Soros leads to the WEF and end of days . Serfdom for most humanity . Exclusion for those who resist and caviar for the elites !!!
