Wow life is really simple (The OODA concept is more about modelling your opponent in a competitive game so that you can analyse the opportunities for disrupting them. A competitive game like “dogfighting” or “Cold War counter-intelligence” or “the market for office software products”. When you describe it as “repeat ad infinitum” it sounds like a neat piece of life advice for how to approach any problem (again, only competitive games!) but you’re missing almost the entire message and in essence saying something about as useful as “use your brain to solve the problem”. As long as you’re not asleep, it’s impossible not to be following OODA. Literally anything you do will satisfy it. That’s why it’s a good model for an opponent. And it’s also why it’s a great tool for convincing yourself you’re some kind of strategic genius because you can recognise these very normal things happening in your own brain.)
