๐ Engineering and evolution are both processes of figuring out what works and what doesn't.
๐ช There is a clear link between power projection and survival in nature, with animals that project power controlling resources.
๐ Property ownership is dependent on the ability to defend and project power over resources, and this concept extends to humans as well.
The evolution of power projection in the animal kingdom, using lions and zebras as an example.
Power projection requires clever tactics and strategies, not just physical strength.
Power projection exists at every level, from single-celled organisms to human societies and beyond.
๐ The existence of warfare is intertwined with economics, and economies cannot survive without defense.
๐ฐ The return on investment of capturing monetized territory increases if there is no defense.
๐พ๐บ๏ธ Agrarian societies with valuable property become attractive targets for conquerors.
Taxation and inflation are argued to be unconstitutional and result in the externalization of costs onto the general public.
The concept of the social contract and the level of understanding people have regarding it is ambiguous.
The need for power projection and property defense has led to the development of defense industrial complexes throughout history.
๐ The need for a strong militia to defend against threats and prevent invasion.
๐ฐ The evolution of property and warfare from private militias to empires and governments.
๐ The importance of power projection and defense in maintaining ownership and controlling resources.
๐ซ The positive aspects of warfare, such as permissionlessness and the ability to establish a pecking order.

โ๏ธ Warfare has driven the scaling of cooperation throughout civilization.
๐ The temple of cooperation, such as the International Space Station, is a symbol of victory.
๐ก๏ธ As the cost of defense declines, sovereignties tend to fragment.
๐ก Bitcoin's high energy consumption serves as a defense system.
๐ช Military spending is essential for economic protection.
๐ซ Technological advancements create new shelling points in warfare.
๐ฃ Cannons and other military technologies have shaped the power projection game.
๐ Warfare tactics have evolved from offense-defense to act-react or maneuver warfare since the 1800s, as demonstrated by Napoleon's success in winning battles.
โ๏ธ The distinction between offense and defense in warfare is arbitrary and irrelevant, as seen in the ownership of territories and the projection of power in space.
๐ฐ The idea of defense-only strategies, such as castles, is outdated due to advancements in technology and the need for responsive and proactive approaches to warfare.
