The Future of War, and How It Affects YOU (Multi-Domain Operations) - Smarter Every Day 211

[@smartereveryday]

I've kept this side of my life off the internet intentionally for 15 years. It's been strange being a dual KZbinr/Missile Tester, because obviously this side of my life feels very important and the main driver for many of my life decisions. I'm more than just a person who makes videos and puts them on KZbin, and I feel like I'm kind of introducing you to the other side of me with this video. I thought long and hard about putting this online after I was asked if I wanted to film my last mission. I ultimately decided to post this video to let you know that Multi-Domain Operations are real.... and you're in the cyber domain. I didn't understand the full extent of what the implications of this were until I dug into it more. Over the course of the next several videos we're going to explore these cyber issues in a very real way. I hope you'll explore this with me.

It's always good to strive for an easier, safer, and better option, but deep down every one of us know there has got to be one last wall to break before falling. And each of us want that. With great power, comes great responsibility. And you've been very responsible about it. And we're getting smarter about it too. And I hope every single one of us strive for a smarter and more responsible way for it. (by us, I mean, humans.)

[@hawkenfox]

That is unless what they agree on is erroneous and would lead to great destruction down the line. I think it's wiser to say ,"Disagree without taking things too personally to a point where discussion becomes impossible." Disagreement is a way for mankind to check their logic with others it's an ability to run counter ideas against initial ones so that the rate of failure is keep low in critical circumstances. All great leader have that skill in their tool box. People who cannot disagree in a peaceful manner are just not mature, and cannot lead.

Which almost makes you wonder if it would make sense for the military to provide social ettiquete / unification training as defense measure...

@@workman88 this is a common belief but also commonly dead wrong. Private sector companies develop military tech. But military tech is at least 10-20 years behind what’s available to the private sector. Military tech has to be battle hardened and excessively reliable. This alone means testing has to ensue for over a decade just to make it field ready. Virginia class submarines, the pinnacle of advanced submarine tech, are built with obsolete tech on board, like 30 year old obsolete tech. Then immediately after being commissioned are pulled into shipyard and “updated” with the “modern” tech, which is 10-20 years obsolete already. It’s a joke and a half to be honest. Just because it’s dressed up and looks pretty doesn’t mean it’s very advanced.

I've said for several years that what we are lacking today is the ability to disagree with one another...now we have a name for it..."Political Grace, the art of disagreeing well." THAT is gold! And I love the choice of the word grace (not getting what you do deserve). So often we are willing to write off someone's opinion because we judge it to be incorrect, and lately, we've started extending the write off to the individual as well. Maybe instead of asking "what's wrong with that person?" we could ask, "how can I disagree well with that person?" Thanks for an obviously very personal message, Destin. I enjoy all your videos and appreciate the work you put into them...but this may be my new favorite! (FWIW, my prior fav was lessons learned from interviewing the president...hhmmm...that one was also about disagreeing well...)

[@richardstrum6606]

But Aumann's agreement theorem says that we can't be rational and agree to disagree!

[@MohammadTaher]

Yes! The video about interviewing the president introduced me the idea of how humans act very similarly to mathematical control systems and how important a negative feedback loop is to promote personal growth. I have subsequently mentioned this theory in all my interviews when questioned about how I respond to feedback (I also happen to work in the aerospace engineering field) and the interviewers have been blown away every time. Pretty sure it's the reason I get the jobs! So thanks Destin!

[@ThomRigsby]

Hey @@richardstrum6606, awesome point! I'm familiar with Aumann's argument and at least as far as I understand it, it applies to single variable interpretations. Destin's point at the outset was that each of our worldviews is influenced by our perspective, kind of like the three blind men describing the elephant. Each of them was correct considering the limited perspective they had, yet all of them were incorrect when considering the full picture. So if we can agree that, given the full picture we should both come to the same conclusion, then maybe our take away should be that when we are in disagreement I should carefully consider both sides of the argument to ensure I'm seeing the full picture. A great way to practice that is to argue for something you disagree with, thus forcing you into more fully examining why someone would see things from a perspective different than your own.

Hey @@MohammadTaher, yep, I quote and link to that video a lot! It's been my fav since it first came out!

Wake up America, the MIC "DEEP STATE" has been using IIA deception on Americans ever since Obama took office? Do some research and you will find this all started way back during the Regan administration when the military decided it would be an awesome idea to create a massive surveillance system of American citizens. There was the usual Congressional hearings decrying this blatant attempt against American privacy so they held fake hearings and pretended the projects were dismantled. Instead they simply moved the projects to civilian control managed by retired military personnel thus spawning Google & Facebook and a host of other "Social Apps" we now depend on for as our PUBLIC FORUM. Do not for a minute think that the current capabilities of NSA and other massive covert and overt surveillance systems are under control by Congress. We are at a major crossroad in our Republic? On one side we have the DEEP STATE which has completely corrupted every government agency you can think of. On the other side are the OUTSIDERS like POTUS who is trying to at least slow it down until he can make the necessary changes to undo some of the damage. However I think eventually it will all end when the brainwashed current K12 generation with Marxist Communist ideology takes the reins of power. At that point we can assume the complete destruction of our Republic will be irreversable...

If we go on as we have been, attacking each other simply for stating a point of view, without reasoned discourse and at least a minimum of mutual respect--which, sadly, you have demonstrated so vividly--then the social contract will be broken and civil strife, if not civil war, will be the outcome.

There can't be compromise when even the middle ground is at such an absolute extreme. There's no wiggle room for compromise. It got there from compromise after compromise not being fair between the two sides, but rather slightly favoring one side over the other. Time and time again over a very long time. I honestly don't know how to resolve that. Theoretically I do, but practically I don't. People want to compromise, but there's no room to do that anymore. Even most of the people in the comments section here are claiming that it's this issue or that, all while actually showing that they see other Americans as the problem, treating others almost as if they're the ones who should be stamped out, instead of the misinformation and misunderstanding.

Needs more powerpoint. How you managed to have a meeting with an army general without a powerpoint presentation being involved I'll never know. ...I guess their projector was busy making that cool sandpit thing.

[@Nico-Cruz]

I think the general shows great wisdom by realizing that the human component is the most crucial in any event, even war. I just hope that the world keeps changing in a direction where armed conflict is no longer necessary as well as the competition for resources.... Ultimately every problem's solution lies in the personal transformation of each individual, where one trades fear, anger and ignorance, for creativity, understanding and empathy. Great video btw! Thank you!

I’m behalf of every troop that has been in the field including myself, thank you for your civil service! Without folks like you, it literally means a split second between pucker factor 11 and being alive versus not being able to come back to our home and our families. Do you ever get input from the troops that are actually using the equipment in theater? A lot of operational problems exist in the AOR that I believe cannot be replicated in the field.

same, I was apart of RIMPAC when I was in the navy, crazy all the things going on and civilians working on my ship etc... I had no idea what they were doing I was just an engineer in the engine room

im a military myself (not from US) but i can relate on how these guys and their hard work improve the equipment we need to accomplish our missions. it´s a very helpful and neccesary job. i just wish that in my country we could take more civilians as consultors and weapon developers

@@fullmetall122 So they can put in Made in China parts into your military like with over half of the US military? See thats why you need a professional military ...

[@fullmetall122]

@@MrFlatage i´m an officer in my country, and i´ve been learn the tactics and strategic vision that a commander should have. it´s not my job to think how to improve the weapons but how to use the capacities of our weapons to a greater benefit. but i do acknowledge that´s an IMPORTANT thing to do, and every country should impulse that kind of scientific mind, rather to be civilians consultors or military PD: most of my country weapons are made in Russia or China so.... i think i get your point.

I've come to the conclusion that you can precisely identify the ranking of a person by the number of wrinkles on their forehead. Four wrinkles = four star general.

[@QuasiELVIS]

In most militaries, officers have to retire whenever they stop being continuously promoted, so anyone older than mid 50s would have to be a general most of the time.
