Chamath Palihapitiya

The crazy thing about this, if you shift away from Iran, was specifically the information warfare game is totally different.

So what did you have?

You had SpaceX enable Starlink over Iran,

And then there was the attempt to use that mechanism to get information out, to fill in the mosaic, right?

So was what was happening 90% with what was happening 10%?

Was there counter revolutions that were supportive of Khomeini?

None of us knew anything because you would see these snippets and it was very hard to actually triangulate.

Then you have this entire information channel get shut down.

And you had all kinds of blocking mechanisms that essentially drove the packet loss down to like 80, 90%.

And it's just important to understand that is the generation of warfare and information that we are going to see in every conflict going forward, especially when you have something as ubiquitous as Starlink and other things in the sky to help you get the information out.

You're just going to see these tactics increase.

That's the best Anthony Bourdain I've ever watched.

Yeah.

If you want to see Iran, it looks so amazing.

Look at the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown in Tehran.

It looks like a party.

Well, yeah.

And young people there.

Total vibe there.

Remember, there was a period where one of the most popular accounts on Instagram was the rich kids of Tehran.
