      He went to prison for quoting Shakespeare while fighting in a war or killing someone outside of combat?

    • @tilikumtim5562
      @tilikumtim5562 Před 5 lety +1

      Maybe I phrased that badly!! The person he killed was injured and he stood over him, quoted a Shakespeare line and then finished him off. He was charge and convicted of murder. He's since been relesaed from prison. I don't think it's an offense to quote Shakespeare in battle.

    Jocko's video game would involve friendly fire, mass casualties and realistic scenarios. It would be the only game where you get points for being squared away and taking extreme ownership. There may also be an interactive dynamic where Jocko appears on your screen and commands you to give him push-ups, burpees, squats and pull-ups for spending all day playing his game.
    The real catch is that you will only have one life per player per game. When you die, the game shuts down and you have to buy a whole new game package. Why? Because there are no do-overs in war. Before the game self destructs, you'll get a debriefing by Jocko with the final order to do burpees until you vomit while you detach and think about what you could have done better.
    What do you all think the name of his game would be? "Stand by to get some: Discipline equals freedom."

    Jocko's semi-prepared remarks starting at 1:50:10 are always some of the most powerful and valuable statements I've ever heard in my life, and that's no exaggeration. I honestly spend all week looking forward to that moment in the podcast which usually starts with "we have time for one more question" and is followed by the most profound remarks that simply cut straight to the heart of the issue and put the situation in absolute clear focus. There is no ambiguity left after Jocko's speeches - the path forward is laid out for us plainly. Those brief yet acutely authentic speeches that litter the Jocko Podcasts are, without a doubt, pure gold.

    "If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;"
    this stanza of the poem is so powerful, so Nietzschean in nature that it equates to Nietzsche's concept of Amor Fati and the eternal return. Subtle, yet so dam hard to live a life from this perspective. This is what defines a warrior; to never regret, never ask for a mulligan...accept your fate and move on. One does not need to have worn a uniform to be a warrior in the eyes of Nietzsche and Kipling. I have to believe Kipling was influenced by the writings of Nietsche and pehaps by the Stoics such as Epictetus, Seneca and others.

    36:55. I think it's more than just about rebuilding your life's work. To take it a step further I think it's rebuilding your life's work but making it better as you're in the process of rebuilding. It collapsed for a reason, and I know and accept that sometimes those reasons and circumstances that cause the collapse are out of your control, but it's worthwhile to take the collapse as Jocko would put it, "An opportunity to get better" and learn from it and improve.

    “End Boss” or “Big Boss” is 100% a video game reference and generally refers to character who is LARGE, who is strong and tough to defeat and who has ... technique... that you have never seen before (unless you’re Dean Richard Lister) that leads to your immediate and guaranteed fatal end. These bosses typical subsist only on Mölk and Jocko White Tea. Jocko although it is difficult to grasp these games are for children (looking at you echo) who need to know it’s ok to make mistakes so long as you learn from them (3 lives, no continues) and more importantly that the guns always get bigger.

      Ive never heard him talk about it, and ive never heard anyone ask, but Extreme Ownership would be even more miraculous if it was written without them keeping Christ in mind.
      In some ways it seems that Jocko's philosophy is written specifically for Christians. Accept ownership of life, discipline yourself to achieve freedom from sin, and simply do what you know is the right thing to do.
