I tend to not worry and waste time on hypotheticals.
I think we need to ask serious questions about how we engage militarily, when we engage militarily, and on what basis we engage militarily. What kind of intelligence do we have to justify a military engagement?
I don't like to talk hypotheticals. I deal with the real life situations. I treat every day as a blessing.
I believed there were no Hypotheticals in the sense of consciously acting agents - conscious entities. There was only the process. The needles of evolution, endlessly knitting.
Do not engage an enemy more powerful than you. And if it is unavoidable and you do have to engage, then make sure you engage it on your terms, not on your enemy's terms.
If we`re going get back into hypotheticals, I think it does a disservice to a lot of people that sacrificed a lot.
For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.
Once I engage in something, I really engage in it, and I love the process of reading and researching because I come from an academic background.
The moment I think about past letdowns or future hypotheticals, I mentally put myself on shaky ground. If I clear my mind of chatter, I can succeed, just like I did in 2006.
I find that if I don't do interviews, I get a little squirrely. I think that when you engage with someone else, or when you engage in something you're passionate about, you're sort of out of your own head.
I don't deal with hypotheticals. I deal with reality.
Scientists need to be prepared to engage, and the best people to engage with are students, ideally from primary school because there's no question that their capacity to work out complex things is extremely good.
You are part of the world's most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.
