Flip Hacking Live 2023: The OODA Loop
It is Fall of 2023, and while most people are signing off for the year due to holidays...the most successful people are ramping up to keep up the hustle. My partner and I virtually attended Flip Hacking Live 2023. Love how they utilized Zoom and maximized this event for all involved.
The OODA Loop: A big theme I saw, or commonality, was that these guys were all Military. The OODA loop was developed by John Boyd to help pilots make decisions in high intensity environments. The four basic steps are:
Observe
Orient
Decide
Act
So, let's break this down and do some self application.
Observe: The observations come from the following inputs...
Implicit Guidance & Control: Your intuition, etc.
Unfolding Circumstances: Have a plan but adjust as needed
Outside Information: factors you have to deal with but can't control
Unfolding Interaction with Environment: interacting with your environment.
This is how your environment shapes and affects you.
Orient: The observations feed into how you orient yourself...
Cultural Traditions: some cultures have specific traditions, even if they are in a home away from home. There is also something to be said about no culture.
Analysis & Synthesis: You analyze information and based on what resonates with you, you combine it to form a theory or system.
Previous Experiences: many say experience helps you in future scenarios and yet, be careful what experience you bring up.
New Information: we live in an age of technology and honestly there is too much information.
Genetic Heritage: information about people based on biological descendants and relationships.
This would make, what others call, your bias. It is so important to know your bias.
Decide: Based on your implicit guidance and control you make a decision (or a hypothesis). At this point in the loop, you can start getting feedback and adjust based on feedback.
Act: Once we make a guess or decision, we act or test our guess. We get feedback based on the test and unfolding interaction with the environment.
The brain has two sides: the gut/instinctual side and the problem solving/logic side. When something is new, it starts in the logic side. Once you do it enough, its intuition. Also, information or choices are input and lack of input is also input. Your system is you, your principles are: people, purpose/vision, principles, and playbook. Think like a CEO. Proximity and Perspective is Power.
Are you looking for more information about Flip Hacking Live? Here: Flip Hacking LIVE: #1 Live Event for House Flippers & Wholesalers! More information about the OODA Loop: OODA loop - Wikipedia
While I feel like this was the central theme, what other goodies were there? Luxury market flippers, marketing, tactics, principles, affirmations, mindset, how to hire, alternative scripts, 3 legged business stool. My favorite part was Bruce Norris, from TNG, about how we are in unprecedented times. Flip Hacking Live offered a new kind of training, and I am excited for those who signed up for it. Who else watched this, or even attended it in person?

Portugal battles wildfires amid third heatwave of the year Portugal is currently facing intense wildfires that have engulfed thousands of hectares of land, as firefighters struggle to contain the flames amid soaring temperatures. The fires near the southern town of Odemira have forced more than 1,400 people to evacuate and have so far destroyed around 6,700 hectares of land.

Lets Make Situational Awareness An Everywhere Thing
So much is made about situational awareness for personal defense. The need to recognize who and what is around you to keep yourself and family safe. Developing skills to help you determine who are threats, what are environmental conditions, where are exit/escape routes are part of personal protection skills that go far beyond the physical techniques. These are subjects covered by Randy King, Rory…

Everyone, everywhere, and at any time, can be affected by an emergency. Being prepared can make a massive difference in a tragedy, an accident, or other potentially life-threatening events. The OODA Loop is one of the best mental exercises for crisis preparation. You can quickly assess a situation, decide, and act Thanks to the OODA Loop, which consists of four steps.

This is real. This is a cybersecurity, law, policy, and roles and missions of the Federal Government. This is not a technology issue on how to take them down - that's easy.
Oct 15, 2024
A complex swarm of drones wanders at will over the largest American National Security Joint Base cluster. Langley Air Force Base, Ft. Eustis (now a joint base with Langley), Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk Naval Air Station, Little Creek Amphibious Base, Oceana Naval Air Station, Dam Neck Annex (Seal Team 6), etc. etc. etc.
This cluster of bases in Virginia is the largest single concentration of U.S. Military resources, units, and equipment. And someone just flew a drone swarm for 17 days as the Department of Defense and the Inter-Agency process went bonkers.
Step 1 on any new, complex, national security issue is answering this question: Who will be the lead Department or Agency to address the developing crisis?
I’m sure the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the National Security Council, and the National Military Command Center were doing Cheetah Flips and Flap-Exs on steroids to answer this question. Well the threat actor flew for 17 days with no interruption.
Apparently they are inside our OODA-Loop and our inter-agency process is not fast or agile enough to take action.
Not good at all. Was it China or Iran? Likely

Okay so since we did Chinggis, how about the other Big Conqueror Generals? Alexander of Macedon, Attila, Timur, Napoleon?
(Several asked for some of these in other asks)
Alexander the Pretty Good: So at this point I think everyone knows that his father Phillip was the "state builder", who created the new systems of Macedonian drill and mobilization infrastructure, handing Alexander a strong army he did not build. And Greece really was hitting a nadir of power, the post-Spartan era fragmenting alliances and exhausting the stronger city states. So it is fair to say that Alexander is overvalued, any Macedon king probably could have taken over Greece at that time. Additionally, when you study his "vast" conquests, its actually really just Greece & then Persia like five times, its him beating one opponent and then mopping up, and having the material advantage most of the time once you get rid of the hagiography.
But starting from Alexander the Great's height gives you an extremely long way to fall; he is overvalued, but still incredibly high VOR. He has the irreplaceable synergistic value of ambition & charisma; he decided to conquer the world, and got a huge list of allies, often ones he had himself fought in battle, to help him do it. Most people never conceive of that as actually being possible - in particular Alexander was not provoked or forced into his confrontations with Persia (establishing hegemony over Greece was more of a coincidence, but I think he would have found an excuse). And while his military achievements are exaggerated he obviously was talented, particularly at logistics - projecting power that wide is a nearly unparalleled feat in his time, and not something Macedonia was built to do before him. So I will go with A+
Atilla is discussed here, weak, C-/D+
Timur - never studied him actually! Its my issue being a Europe & East Asia guy, I know Gengis/Temujin because he is tied up with the Jin, but Timur never quite got around to the Ming conquest
Napoleon: Very complicated, provisional opinions. The Napoleonic wars scope is in fact quite contingent; its a constant back and forth of revolutionary ambition from France to spread itself, reactionary forces in the monarchies to fight back, rebellions and opportunities. Napoleon was not someone who engineered the whole thing by any means, he was given a chance to shine and he took it. Revolutionary France, constantly at war, was pretty much always going to arrive at something like a military leadership.
Additionally, he often gets too much credit for civil reforms of things like the Napoleonic Code; the process for formulating the Code started in the first National Assemblies in 1791, and multiple drafts of a new, universal code had been made when Napoleon was in power. He ordered it to stop dillydallying and make it happen, don't get me wrong, that is points. But its also the kind of thing dictators can do, right? So its a bit of a question of how likely a military ruler centralizing authority at all in France was. I think kind of high? I don't view Napoleon as an Augustus figure. So I think his VOR would have had kind of similar power. Napoleon did not have grand insights into what the legal code should, from what I know. On things like these I think he is getting credit for the fact that his name in in the title that maybe he shouldn't.
But there is a reason he became Emperor of France - he is a grade A military genius. His rep here is deserved - of course he was taking advantage of smart officers, existing innovations, etc, dude ain't forging cannons himself. But he put it all together, truly did push the use of artillery forward, and he was tirelessly creative on the battlefield. He was a famous workaholic, memorizing every map and coordinating every part of the battle himself, in ways that just put him ahead of the curve of his opponents. He is a classic OODA loop guy - he is getting information, putting a plan forward, getting new information, and pivoting the plan faster than everyone else, and he keeps winning on the back of it.
And then the rep you get from that string of wins inspired morale, commitment, diligence, and more from his men and officers that compounds. That last part is important - making an army takes time, its about relationships. You couldn't just slot the Duke of Wellington in as commander of the French and expect it to work the same. Due to that, the VOR for having Napoleon leading your armies in 1805 is literally irreplaceable. There is not single other person in existence who can deliver greater value, and I think that is very clear - and at margins that are very rare.
But of course he has his share of mistakes, particularly in naval affairs, over time his enemies internalize his innovations, and his reach exceeds his grasp. In particular he had multiple opportunities to "settle" for gains where France is first amoung equals, and he doesn't take it, and it all comes undone. He could have been S tier if he learned that. But alas, I think it puts him at A.

OODA Loop Tarot Spread
Based on the OODA loop developed by USAF Colonel John Boyd and popularized as a learning method and for commercial operations.
Observe - Outside information, unfolding circumstances, interaction with environment
Orient - Putting it into context, analysis and synthesis, previous experience
Decide - Making a choice, hypothesis, choosing a direction
Act - Putting a plan into action, moving forward, testing the hypothesis
Context (optional) - What circumstances are you focusing on, why are you making the choice, why does the choice need to be made
#tarot#tarot spread#this is like half a year of testing and using it and trust me it works#feel free to rb

Is it just me, or are right-wingers (at least in the USA) basically never willingly cautious incrementalists?
That’s not to say that there are no right-wingers who are moderate. (Although moderate right-wingers have also been getting thin on the ground, they exist.) Moderate right-wingers, though, seem to have moderately right wing terminal goals. Like, people who want to cut the top marginal tax rate to 30%, or want abortion banned in the third trimester with health exceptions, or whatever exist, but it seems like either those people think a center-right policy is actually the right solution (i.e., they are moderate right-wingers), or they are only compromising out of necessity, and think that a third trimester ban is the most anti-abortion law that can get past their state house (i.e., they are far right-wingers who are willing to make compromises).
It seems like I never see right wingers who want to start small, see how a pilot program or moderately right-wing policy turns out, incorporate the new data from their previous policy foray into their OODA loop, then (hopefully, if the previous small-scale or moderate right-wing policy turned out well, which presumably right-wingers expect it will) push ahead to a new iteration of further-right policy.
Maybe it’s that people on the right see themselves as returning things to the way they used to be, so their ideas are already proven, negating the need for further experimentation?
I think education reform might be an area where there used to be cautious, incrementalist right-wingers, trying out programs like charter schools and vouchers and stuff, but lately most of the right has abandoned that strain of education reform in favor of fighting wokeness within the public school system and reporting furry kids to animal control or w/e.
(Admittedly, cautious incrementalism of the type I’m talking about isn’t that common in any political persuasion, so maybe I just don’t notice it on the right since I don’t directly interact with them much.)

drawing kanji is such a fulfilling experience, such a tight OODA loop as you continually discover that certain lines are at approximately 30 degree angles with respect to here, that other lines aren't spaced arbitrarily, this line starts at the midpoint of that segment, etc. as your drawings become more and more "correct"
#it's like back when i was learning programming for the first time#that rapid cycle of self-criticism; planning for how to Do Better; executing; observing the relation between the artifact and the criticism#and the eventual convergence on “yeah! i did something in 10 minutes that used to take me 45! go me!”#i haven't had that in a while!

Podcast #876: The Essential Framework for Understanding The Art of War
You heard about The Art of War, and it sounded pretty cool. So you picked up a copy to read. But you found that, beyond a few of its famous maxims, a lot of this text attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu was hard to understand, much less incorporate into your life. My guest offers a tripartite framework that can help you get a lot more out of The Art of War. His name is Jim Gimian, and he’s an editor of one of the text’s translations as well as the co-author of The Rules of Victory: How to Transform Chaos and Conflict—Strategies from The Art of War. Today on the show, Jim argues that The Art of War is a holistic, interconnected text that’s about how to approach conflict and obstacles in a holistic, interconnected way. Underlying this approach are three dynamics: Heaven, Earth, and General, which correspond to View, Practice, and Action. Jim and I talk about the importance of constantly orienting and reorienting yourself to an ever-changing world, working with the shih, or energy, in the landscape you’re navigating, using action to further refine your perspective, and more. Resources Related to the Episode * The Art of War: The Denma Translation * Professor Andrew Wilson’s Great Courses course on Masters of War * AoM Podcast #664: The Masters of the Art of War With Andrew Wilson * AoM Article: 43 Books About War Every Man Should Read * AoM Article: Lessons from The Art of War — Good Leaders vs. Bad Leaders * AoM Article: The Tao of Boyd — How to Master the OODA Loop Connect With Jim Gimian * The Rules of Victory website * Jim on LinkedIn Listen to the Podcast!

Implicit guidance and control (IGC) is a crucial component of the OODA loop process that often goes unnoticed. It refers to the subconscious processing and intuitive decision-making based on past experiences, cultural norms, and internalized knowledge. This hidden driver shapes individuals’ observations, orientation, decisions, and actions in complex environments.
The IGC process allows the brain to process vast amounts of information without conscious awareness, enabling rapid and effective decision-making. It draws upon previous experience and subconscious processing to guide real-time actions, especially in high-pressure situations. This aspect of the OODA loop is particularly important for experienced professionals, as it allows them to make quick and informed decisions based on their intuition and past experiences.
