Our goal, by improving the qualities an athlete needs to succeed in a given task, would be to get breathing and movement strategies to look as similar as possible across multiple environments. The reason why the best athletes make their craft look effortless is because it probably does take their body less effort, from a motor, respiratory, and physiological standpoint.

Geopolitics is a valuable way to look at the world when: a) there are many empowered actors with lots of options; b) the actors are heterogeneous, with wildly varying capabilities that require individual analysis; and c) the space of possibilities is volatile with lots of possibilities for both great reward and great losses. In such situations it’s worth seeing the infinite game of life as “finite games all the way up”, stacked to the heavens. (When is a finite game not a finite game? Now you know.) It seems pretty clear that we’re in such a situation in the world today. As we try to navigate it, let’s retire the term “philosophy” and focus just on geopolitics. So far, my favorite dictums to keep in mind have been:
Anticipate what others will do; be hard to anticipate.
Negotiations are never final; trust but verify.
When somebody wants to and can, they will. (With apologies to Capt. Ed Murphy.)
