Part 2/7:
The fifth episode, "Everything Is a Machine", begins with Dalio expressing how incomprehensible events often occur in life—events that seem difficult and complex, overwhelming us with their sheer volume. These moments prompt deep reflection, leading him to explore the very nature of reality itself.
Dalio proposes that the universe, from the Big Bang to planetary formation, from ecological systems to human society, functions as an enormous, interconnected machine. These machines are constantly evolving—disassembling, recombining, and forming new structures—creating a perpetual cycle of transformation driven by universal laws and forces.
