I discuss the complex adaptive system that is war that Clausewitz categorically identified as "friction" in the nineteenth century. We'll examine what chaos and complexity has to do with conflict, why it is inevitable and why wars are won by the least incompetent armies and navies.References:Nassim Taleb <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4d77BXj">Incerto: Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, Antifragile, Skin in the Game</a>Carl von Clausewitz <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4dcGLgo">On War</a>My Substack:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://t.co/7a8jn2Mmnx">https://t.co/7a8jn2Mmnx</a>Email at cgpodcast@pm.me.

Ep 019 "Murphy Rex: Complexity and War"

An unauthorized podcast series peeking behind the curtain at the vast machinery and briar patch politics of fighting terrorism and insurgency and everything in between. I'm a "COINtra" and not a "COINdinista", the latter are the vast army of apparatchiks and apologists who fire the engines of Irregular Warfare (IW) planet-wide.

I have noticed a jarring gap in this part of the discussion and intend on filling the breach.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cgpodcast.substack.com/">Substack: Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://libertarianinstitute.org/cgpodcast/">Smedley D.
