Then shortly after that, as we back that, we went all in and now we started Epirus. Epirus is named after the bow of Theseus, which had infinite arrows, but it's the best EMP company. We could shoot down electronics miles away with bursts of microwave radiation. It's just really cool at turning off swarms of drones. What's happening now is you have swarms of drones in the air,

You have swarms on the water here in Austin. We're building hundreds of smaller ships. We're teaching the Navy how to use AI to weaponize autonomous vessels. And then you have things under the water that are new. You have things in space that are fighting. And so you have all these new possibilities, new missiles, new ways of turning off bad guys.

And it all has to be controlled with new forms of AI command and control. And so, yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on.

You know, warfare's changed a lot over the years. One of my favorite books was The Shield of Achilles, which is like this thousand page book on constitutional government in Europe. And it shows how every time there's like a new form of warfare that's best, it changes the structure of governments as well because the structure of government has to be able to support that form of warfare.

So for example, if you need like, if like a knight who's fully armored with modern technology could take on like 50 peasants, everyone needs to make knights, which means you have this very feudal society that forms and the feudal societies conquer Europe. And then another example of this

If you have all these aristocracies that came out of the feudal societies and run certain ways, and then suddenly you're able to mass-produce rifles and give everyone a rifle, the aristocracies have to sort of become republics of some sort, because you can't give everyone a rifle and have them fight if they're your slaves or your serfs or whatever.

So Napoleon goes after Europe, and it forces the aristocrats to basically give up a lot of their power and arm everyone to fight back. And so it totally changes the form of government. And so you have had warfare change a lot over the years. And you have this concept, which is interesting to me, is defensive versus offensive warfare. So the question is, what's better?
