Really, really enjoyed this - especially the shift in perspective on IEDs

Thanks! Yeah, the IED one blew my mind when I realized it. It's also surprising how it ruffles feathers when I point it out but no-one can disprove it.

Case Study #3: I trolled my boys until they got wise to my shitposting.

That's case study 5. I do the same.

If it wasn't so lethal, one could conceive of war as just two big gangs of boys trying to prank the shit out of each other.

It even has the right demographic.

I love the way you articulated this. Ender's game and the entire series isn't action packed but I found the human elements facinating. What's also interesting is I just dusted off Polyhedronic Data Analysis in a conversation today about stakeholder analysis and looking at the personas from multiple perspectives. Thanks for the great comment.
