How do you stress test an idea?

How do you know?

I'll give you my hypothesis on the only way to pull that off.

And let me know if you see another option, Lord knows, I hope there is one.

I've thought a lot about how you sway people into doing something that is more advantageous.

I'm usually thinking about it for them.

So just what's more advantageous for them.

And it all ultimately comes down to you have a leader or a group of people for whom you're trying to earn the respect of.

And by earning their respect, you do the right things.

So I'll sum it up at the national level.

We would need a leader that can actually bring the two sides together.

Somebody who has a very clear vision.

You've grimaced.

For anybody that's just listening to this, Ray Dalio just grimaced hard.

All right, so explain the grimace, Ray.

That is how dictators come to power.

That is very much the scenario I would want to categorically avoid.

So, do you see that just as that is an inevitability?

Because right now, Ray, to your own point, we are not being good with each other from what I can see.

There is certainly a broadcast signal, and maybe this is a distortion of social media, but I don't think so, certainly not given the elections of recent.
