Chamath Palihapitiya

It's a very different culture than the other Middle East countries.

It's a fundamentally different religion.

It's a fundamentally different language.

So I would just say that I don't know what's actually going on in Iran.

There's been so much information containment that I take Sachs' point of view, which is I think the only people in the United States right now that have an accurate sense are probably the military and intelligence apparatus of the United States.

And the rest of us are underreacting or overreacting to small problems

pieces of information without really knowing the context and the mosaic of the whole.

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.
