It’s possible with digital tech, always on mics, and remote work that absolutely every communication within a company could be recorded forever.

Would humanity be better off? Or are people stupider when they are thinking out loud in front of recording devices?

How much do the lawyers deserve to know?

As much as I think Dalio's "principles" are a "good thing" for personal practices they don't scale to groups--let alone a corporation.

All of these "radical transparency" and "radical honesty" practices are just justifications for being lackadaisical about the nuances of human relations.
