Right, Renaissance is built on some smart people getting together in private and doing their work. Dalio's appeal is the same as Cohen and Rajat because hype and image work around a bunch of easily conned geeks. I'll go all in - Ray Dalio is a legally legitimate version of Lou Pearlman without the Boy Bands. BONUS: Ray's "be a prick and call it constructive" philosophy spread. I know this because I interviewed with Vari. FKA a startup known as VariDesk. Maybe some here know about it? So they talked big about their new office furniture pivot - names like Goldman Sachs - and I did some research. You know, legit players in the business. This is Dallas. Serious money is here serious people are here. Well at Vari they are sure to mention they embrace the Dalio inspired communication technique... "Oh? Honestly, they're not even on my radar - they're not even close to being a player. Their quality is awful and their SKU list? Nope, Goldman Sachs would laugh them out of the room." So after Vari ghosted me I made sure to give them the legit treatment: "Here in Texas, we would call your pitch a bunch of happy horse shit."
