IMO the problem is the perception that fast thinkers or fast decision makers are smart folks. I know a lots of people who would not give instant answers to problems, they will be always "I will come back to this, let me think through". They give much better solve, but take time. But we are surrounded by people who want fast solutions.
- matwood 4y agoYou have to define 'better'. If an entity can process their OODA loop faster than competing entities, they will have an advantage. I agree with you that people who are quick to talk in meetings can sometimes incorrectly come across as smarter, but I caution you to completely discount speed.
- zerop 4y agoYes, no Bias is good either.
- barking_biscuit 4y agoAs an aside, the entity that understands the original formulation of the OODA loop (not the ridiculous circle shaped one) and can find ways to trigger the positive feedback loop (contained within the original diagram) in the mind of their adversary can gain an advantage as they both saturate the opponent's bandwidth and simultaneously take them away from their goals. My understanding behind the original intent of the OODA was to be able to strategically exploit that weakness.
