Dan FayHOST
But can you talk a little bit more about that? Because I think this is really a really interesting area.

David OlneyGUEST
And I think this is a really good time to bring the OODA loop in, the whole thing of observe, orient, decide, act, and then crank repeat, crank repeat, crank repeat.

David OlneyGUEST
But people tend to misunderstand orient in the OODA loop as you just work out what you want to do.

David OlneyGUEST
No, you work out which thing is easiest to influence, which thing is most significant to influence, which thing if you tinkered with it would explode in your face and cause some sort of system failure that would then make your life even harder.

David OlneyGUEST
So orient is what can you do that's safe? What can you do that's dangerous? What can you do that gets you closer to your preferred endpoint? what can you do to totally and utterly disrupt the system, which is probably going to be very, very dangerous.
