You mentioned earlier the phrase, the billionaire's bomb.

And in the book, you walk into this incredibly interesting war game that the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment runs.

I thought it was a wonderful illustration of

It's interesting because we have, I think, the same dynamic going on in the intelligence world where a friend of mine who did some very interesting things inside the Directorate of Operations looking at how you'd have to adapt the human intelligence game to the world of ubiquitous technical surveillance and all these kind of biometrics, all these dynamics.

voice-verified
As you stack them up against one another, they obviously have their pros and cons, but do you think this chaotic dynamic we've been describing is
voice-verified
actually well-primed to deal with a massive geopolitical competition that we'll have with the Chinese for most of the rest of this century?
