And the point of it is to essentially teach creativity.

And the way they do that is they give you an objective and you're setting off on your objective.

And then the moment you're halfway there, a bomb goes off and you have to make a new plan.

You have to be creative on the fly.

And again and again and again, they have this environment.

And what's amazing about the environment is that as you start to watch recruits go through it, none of them solve the problems in the same way.

So it's not like in a lot of military and training environments, there's like a right answer to something and they keep basically prodding you until you like figure out how to get the gasoline can over the wall and blah, blah, blah, blah.

This isn't like that at all.

Everyone is solving the problems differently.

And the cadre, the trainers, the cadre, they evolve as the students evolve.

And so they change the learning environments.

It's like a massive role-playing game, I guess would be a way to think about it, you know, with like the dungeon masters.

And they're evolving the learning environment as the students are going through it.

And that allows for this interactive creative process.

And by the time the students come out the end of it, they've literally become the first person to solve Robin Sage in the way that they solved it.

Like they've become an original.

And that's why you're an operator, because the job of an operator is to go into the unknown.

and do something new.

But when they brought me in, one of the things they pointed out to me is they said, hey, Angus, all this stuff was built during the Vietnam War.

And a lot of the exercises were literally Vietnam exercises.
