the right habits and “way of being” have to have already been ingrained prior to the confrontation ironically, this makes ooda the least flexible, most simplistic, and luck dependent strategy

it succeeds primarily in strong bounded domains like fighter jets, tennis, ping pong, dota, etc… because the rules don’t change, all strategic nuance can be stripped from the game if u boil it down to a battle of pace

e.g. with the modern high spin/speed table tennis game, each champion is predictably a prime-of-life mid twenties from a training farm who beats down the opponent with faster reaction and speed

instead of a “strategic” game it becomes “overcome everything with large amounts of topspin”

it is ineffective as a general strategy towards life because life is not a bounded domain with a statically sized table, ball, and set of rules. there’s no way to put in the reps to ingrain the no-think-only-flow habits required for aggression

aggression in this sense of “nonstop pace” is also intrinsically linked with flow. there is no flow unless reality is engaged in at a pace that gives the thinking mind no time to react

the “aggressive jock” is better at sex than the “overthinking nerd” because just like sports, breaks in flow and intrusion of thought stand out jarringly

“sexy” masculine domains are almost always associated with the ability to maintain unbroken flow. pilots, doctors, pianists, athletes. or the ability to act with extreme speed. firefighter, soldier, etc
