Hey Jocko I don’t know if you read these comments but, I just want to say how much I appreciate these podcasts and the lessons you provide young people like me! I just got my Senator nominations for Naval Academy, West Point, and the Merchant Marine Academy. I haven’t got in yet but I’m super excited. So much of my knowledge and experience as a leader is thanks to you. Thank you Jocko, Echo, and all the guests on the podcast! Thank you.
I read it, it reminded me of a quote from an employee at General Electric when Jack Welch was the CEO: "For 25 years, the employee said, you've paid for my hands when you could have had my brains as well -for nothing." This was after Jack Welch implemented 360 evaluations (everyone evaluates their superiors, coworkers and subordinates often and with candor) and workshops where providers, clients, and G.E. employees tackle problems in a way so they have different points of view, welcoming ideas from everyone regardless of their position in the hierarchy. How many US Marines are out there? I think the Doctrinal Publication is saying, know that we are competing in many different arenas and in many different forms, and after you have that always present in your mind, be on the look out and give us your ideas.
The importance of chess is to teach your brain to start thinking about your enemy, "what he wants to do", "whats his plan". STRATEGY. You can't always be responding to immediate, gotta have the long view.
The Game of Go is a great teacher as well. Very different, and in some ways, much better. Chess is about Attrition, Go is about Assimilation. The argument could be made that Go is in line with long term realities more than Chess.

“War is an interactive social process” I had to do a lil reading because it sounds like a ridiculous way to describe war but I think the authors were spot on. Social processes are the ways in which individuals and groups interact, adjust and readjust and establish relationships and pattern of behaviour which are again modified through social interactions. ---- what do you think?
don't know if its wrong or not, but I legitimately thought ''he's gonna ruin knives for me", after some of the more questionable discussions where we're trying so very hard to be super understanding towards ppl we should never bother wasting empathy on.
I feel like the writers talking about engaging in art and unleashing creativity were really serious about taking their fondness for crayons to the next level.
If war was not a "interactive social process" there wouldn't be any resolution with out total obliteration of a side. Throughout the war each of the parties are influencing each other, treaties would not be met without change of the force that gives in. The word morale comes to mind.
@ Jocko When it comes to the social aspect of war I thought about it primarily in terms of each side's respective military which is the organization of humans who have to cooperate to achieve small goals and ultimately, victory. Interestingly, even in a total war situation there can be small social gestures/acts between opposing forces. For example, when my grandfather was captured by Nazis in France he was given a glass of champagne and saluted for America's air superiority in the region at that time. When it comes to the continuum of war, particularly political warfare, I think about double agents and how complex those social interactions must be. These are some of my thoughts.
Dave Berke’s voice is kinda like if Jocko’s voice and Leif’s voice had a baby (kinda twisted..I know). You can’t help but just get super pumped every time any of the guys on this podcast say a single word. ‘People way doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.’ You all are true examples of how to get $#!+ done. Thank you!!!
I think Jocko better get his mind right about what is going on in this country concerning FREE SPEECH. I like what he says, I like how he says it. The democratic party is trying to stop it. Jocko and all the great guys who served this country better come together for this country, or we are fucked like a tied up dog. We need leaders not talkers. Other wise there will be no talkers......conservative radio where the hell are you at. They really want to shut you up.
the interactive social process passage refers wars as a mena to change the other person/group will - it may involve meny forms of violence not necessarily anihilation. For instance, pearl harbor objective was not to destoy USA or it naval force, but to convince the US to accept the japanese progress into asia possibly by negotiation.
Your focus on this particular USMC Directive AND it's relevance to ALL of us today who can see and hear your video IS the finest headwork (thought; discretion discernment) in your field, that is contemporary affairs and figuring out what's happening and what to do about it. What's so important here to understand is the Directive and keys to winning in today's society are addressing the same or similar conditions that are VITAL to recognize now, in the fog of these times. In sum, to compete and win today requires more than overwhelming force and capitulations, as before, but still required. Now method and outcomes should and must include not only overwhelming one's enemies and rivals, but doing it in new ways that simultaneously turn your competitors, enemies and rivals into partners, allies and customers, imho.
Coming to work for the VA after a career in biotech was an eye opener.

It's disgusting, I don't complain were the petty tyrant fired, they may be replaced by someone, god forbid competent.

Sorry I'm late to the content, but the "social interaction" sentence was left in because: framing an issue as a "battle" engages all your war knowledge, but framing it as a "social interaction" engages a different, larger, and more flexible set of skills. For example, if I insult you to your face, you might choose to laugh, walk away, insult me back, punch my nose, or many other options. Nevertheless, my verbal insult was an aggressive, oppositional action. In an area of operations (AO), an unknown actor firing a weapon could be merely insulting you, if he's not aiming with intent to wound or kill. He might also be hunting, or frightening birds from his freshly-seeded field. Or maybe trying to kill you. Bringing "social interaction" into the discussion engages all the tools and skills a Marine or person might have that are short of violent action, because even in an AO he might engage with skills other than kinetic energy.
53:00 they made sure to include "Interactive Social Process" , because, the purpose of.. competing wills, they want to achieve something, and at some point things get out of hand and it becomes warfare, but, the reality is, whatever they wanted could possibly be achieved without warfare, , your mindset at the time, you were discussing warfare, but the manual is about competition, cooperation is included in the scope of the topic.
This is exactly the psychology that Mark Macyoung talks about in his writings. How violence is a form of communication and there are many levels of communication before violence happens. He had a website where you can read at length for frer called nononsenseselfdefense.com

If employees regularly make decisions counter to what a leader believes the culture to be, it is likely that it's not that the employees don't understand the culture, but rather that the leader is mistaken in their assessment of what the culture of the organization actually is.

You think every time Jocko has to say, "No Dave, we aren't putting offices in your building over there where the hipsters all used to live", Dave gets mad and squeezes his jaw and is all, "But it was a good deal!" And then subverting-Echo Charles gets in his ear like, "Yeah it is Dave, now get back in there and get Jocko to see"- Then he's like, "I'll get back in there when I'm gosh darned good and ready!" Then Dave goes racing off popping a wheelie on his 1980's Ninja bike? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it happens that way every time.
Trump is likely to go down in history as verifiably one of the worst presidents; because he's been a near perpetual National embarrassment, and a constant security risk. And I pray we never have a POTUS as incompetent again. It was just plain unAmerican what happened at the Capitol; those rioters weren't patriots, and their behavior was definitely that of misguided individuals.....who are clearly of touch with reality. I highly recommend people taking the time to watch the livestream of our own government on C-SPAN; to see and hear for one's self, what's said and done....without spin or biases of MSM. Not to mention the daily transcripts are made available on the Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court websites. Even if someone had the due diligence to be a properly informed/responsible voter, it's still hard to get an accurate picture of all facets involved; but its not hard to be a good Citizen. I don't understand why people do mental gymnastics in regards to the false dichotomy of Left v. Right, us versus them; when first and foremost, we're all Americans. And the average person isn't a radical extremist; but tend to be fairly level headed and independent people, who are conservative/liberal on some issues and not others. I would say most are moderate. Democracy is a very vulnerable thing; the books "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder is a nice pocket guide to defending democratic institutions, and "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer covers how they collapse. The two books paired together are quite poignant and empowering to even the most average person. Ps. The Office of Congressional Ethics needs to be reinstated, as well as the MAVNI program.
Reinstitute H.U.A.C . , our government has been infiltrated at every level by socialist/communist sympathizers A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. Trump may be a fool and certainly ambitious but he is no traitor to the United States . That hat is worn by the democrats and the socialist progressive leftists. The “Leftist” democrats in this country don’t believe in facts ! They ( the Democratic Party ) embrace the Marxist originated philosophy of Post-Modernism. Post Modernists don’t believe in “facts” , “facts” constrain the use of power .

Jocko, what are your thoughts on revolution? Obviously, our country was based on it, but in modern day terms, you are shamed for wanting it. Do you think there is a reason for this? Do you think revolution is good? In my opinion, its inevitable in every country, but you are seen as a terrorist for it. Maybe its different now, because a large majority of Americans are against it, and I'm seeing it from a patriots point of view, instead of a British point of view.
@@cameron7441 most people in this mindset don't really have a thought out goal or guiding principles, a reset would be trying the same thing and expecting a different result.
@@LukeCunningham That's why I'm not going to start a revolution. I also have no plan to. And you are right. Most people that want a revolution don't have a plan. That's what makes America so special.
@@cameron7441 Revolution meaning a social or political change, or war? Remember the Civil War? If it is humanly possible avoid that, and tolerate each other to an extent, then you 100% absolutely should. The Revolutionary War happened because the Founding Fathers and citizens were not willing to have taxation without representation, among a number of other things that they thought were non-negotiable for their colonies that they were left with no option but independence, and all the bloodshed would be worth the country that would happen as a result.

I don’t understand why nobody from the military is helping our commander and chief....
Because you don't understand the military.
The oath is to the constitution and the American people.
What your describing is exactly what happens in a place like the DRC.
Because they care more about the constitution and top brass have been constantly insulted by him

Good point.
He's been disrespectful to gold star families, medal of honor recipients, POW/MIA, and those who fell in battle as well.
There are plenty that do.

Jocko, what are your thoughts on revolution? Obviously, our country was based on it, but in modern day terms, you are shamed for wanting it. Do you think there is a reason for this? Do you think revolution is good? In my opinion, its inevitable in every country, but you are seen as a terrorist for it. Maybe its different now, because a large majority of Americans are against it, and I'm seeing it from a patriots point of view, instead of a British point of view.
What will it accomplish, will society magically fix its underlying issues from sacrifice and bloodshed?
@@LukeCunningham No, but perhaps we can establish a better government free from corruption. I'm not in favor of revolution anyway.
@@cameron7441 most people in this mindset don't really have a thought out goal or guiding principles, a reset would be trying the same thing and expecting a different result.
@@LukeCunningham That's why I'm not going to start a revolution. I also have no plan to. And you are right. Most people that want a revolution don't have a plan. That's what makes America so special.
@@cameron7441 Revolution meaning a social or political change, or war? Remember the Civil War? If it is humanly possible avoid that, and tolerate each other to an extent, then you 100% absolutely should. The Revolutionary War happened because the Founding Fathers and citizens were not willing to have taxation without representation, among a number of other things that they thought were non-negotiable for their colonies that they were left with no option but independence, and all the bloodshed would be worth the country that would happen as a result.
In my fucking opinion..
Algo math stil stupid?
Yyyeeeaaaaaaaaa
