Principles by Ray Dalio· 2025-09-17 15:42
In democracies, people vote for their interest. Why are our policies this way where it is so to do with polarity.

Societal Trends - The analysis suggests a parallel between the failure of communism and the perceived failure of "wokeness," both seen as attempts to replace faith in God with faith in the State [1] - The document posits that the failure of the State leads to two major responses: a return to religion and a turn to technology [3] - The conservative response to a failed state involves a return to religious faith, where God becomes the organizing principle [3] Ideological Analysis - "Wokeness" is characterized as a decentralized left ideology that, like communism, elevates the State over God [1] - Examples of "wokeness" include mocking "thoughts and prayers," using the state to target religious beliefs, and replacing traditional moral codes with a focus on being a "good person" [2] - The rise in belief in Orthodox Christianity in Russia after the failure of communism is presented as an example of the return to religion [3]

The Communist Party is calling for tongzhi—an outdated Maoist greeting—to return to everyday speech. But the term, which means “comrade”, is unlikely to make a comeback outside of the party https://t.co/hJe9w4vMyG ...
