Anduril - The Startup Reshaping Geopolitics

I love the story of Anduril and really enjoyed getting to go inside the company and see how they grew from nothing. I don't own stock in Anduril and I wasn't paid by the company, but I do work for Founders Fund, which is mentioned in the video. I've been a fan of Palmer Luckey for years though and made a (much lower quality) video about him back in 2020: • Who Is Palmer Luckey?
Hope you like it! I'm planning on doing way more of these company deep dives. Let me know if there are any other companies you'd like me to cover!

@@njdarda You've hit the nail on the head with so many of these videos on YT. Most times they have people on who are fundamentally pitching and investment opportunity or a product for sale. I just saw this yesterday for a video on educating by computer software for aircraft maintenance. Yes it has some advantages but its NOT going to replace teaching as the sales pitch suggested. If you see any story on any technology and the words "game changer" are used then your scepticism should start screaming inside your skull.

Proof this is marketing: 40:45 “anduril’s technology keeps the world safe”. I would value some honesty. It’s about making the US’s dominance insurmountable, thereby keeping Americans safe. Not the world. Palmer says this here: 40:10 “we can only prevent wars if we make products so overwhelmingly good that people think they can’t possibly win against them.” This does not prevent wars. It simply means that only the US can start wars. Again, I won’t begrudge an American for wanting this, but don’t try to take the moral high ground by lying. I know a lot of Americans aren’t happy with the warmongering of their government. Please understand this is the new face of propaganda, saying the same lies: “the world will be safer when we can dictate foreign affairs.”

I worked in the defense industry for two years as an electrical engineer. It was a big company, and had many retired military in management who were mainly lobbyists. They had no technical training or ability. They had contacts in the military procurement agencies, and their job was to promote the company and its products to the military decision makers. That's why I left, corruption. I worked in private industry thereafter, and it took about half the people to do a project in half the time compared to the bloated defense company. That's the problem with big defense companies, no hustle. The know they are the only game in town, and they bleed the defense programs dry. Many projects did not complete, and others took much longer than planned and went way over budget. We need to foster agile startups in the defense industry to move forward better.

The problem is the military industrial complex found a trick to milk taxpayers with old wares. Why innovate hard when you can make ton of profit from selling existing inventory? After all, all these Lockheed Martin and Raytheons answer to their shareholders first over anything else.

Technology develops in leaps and pauses on an exponential curve. Trends that are unintuitive to the human mind. Meaningful advances are taking place nearly yearly, especially in materials science and technology. If you follow this curve backward in time, you will find these same incremental steps taking decades during the time of America's founding, multiple decades over the prior 4 centuries, once per lifetime over the prior millennia, once per several centuries over the prior 3 millennia, and further back you will eventually come to noticeable generations of stone tools separated by increments of 10,000 years, things like clothing, habitation, pottery and the vague but still measurable cultivation of plants and animals happening in roughly 50,000 year increments, the fundamental stone tool groups diversifying in 100,000 - 250,000 year increments, rope and fire 250,000 to 1,000,000 years... And even less intuitive than this, the great multiplicity of discovery, simultaneous independent discovery, disappearance and rediscovery with the ebb and flow of the advance, and decline, and advance, of human tribes, civilizations and cultures... My only hope in terms of futureology is for the open source, democratization and proliferation of honest, uncensored AI to tip the direction of society's evolution towards a new age of enlightenment, scientific discovery, human rights, freedom, liberty, wealth and human (and worldly) flourishing... Because the current trajectory towards increasing centralization, authoritarianism, the mass commercial consolidation and reemergence of the super-conglomerate robber barons, along with the decreasing freedom, liberty & wealth of citizens, conversely proportional to the increasing fascism in Western governments, like a new globalist replica of the national *Socialist* regimes in the lead up to WW2, which is currently also replicating the political and religious persecutions of that era, pointing us unambiguously towards the same false flags, atrocities, and society-wide tragedies of the WW2 and post WW2 eras. When the massive super-state regimes become this powerful, it seems inevitable that they come into direct conflict with each other, and the subsequent rebalancing of world power at the cost of their key domestic resource -human lives. And there is no quantity of human lives as a resource they won't eagerly throw into the fires o f W a rrrrrr 🔥🫣 Like throwing handfuls of matches into a bonfire. For the purposes of foreign policy, citizens are a Free, renewable resource. As every adult man knows, having registered with the compulsory selective service after turning 18, in exchange for not only nothing, but debt. We've actually been burdened with debt, paid for in our decreasing wages via the mechanism of inflation, in exchange for registering for the draft, to be called up for any conflict so desired by the absolute geniuses, selfless & virtuous geniuses, the literal best among us, in politics and the administrative state.

Andúril, meaning "Flame of the West" in Quenya (Elvish language) was the sword reforged from Narsil. The sword that Aragorn wielded in the Return of the King. The symbol of the company is based off of the pommel of that sword as seen in the movie adaptation. Another interesting thing is Palantir. Named after the Palantíri, the seven seeing stones that could be found in Middle-earth at one pont or another. They were the only direct and instant form of communication and ability to see far away things. This was used by Saruman, Sauron, and Denethor. Sauron used the stones to turn their greatest fears against them, manipulated them into believing there was no hope and driving them mad. The company symbol resembles a Palantír at rest upon its holding place. Interesting choice of company names and symbolism. J.R.R. Tolkien would have absolutely loathed their company's use of his works and bastardization of the symbolic meaning behind them.

@KingBobXVI 10 ай бұрын

Yep, I was reached out to by one of their recruiters to a dev position, and as a Tolkien fan, the bastardized use of Tolkien's lore kind of pissed me off. It's subtle for someone who isn't into LotR lore, but a western military contracting company being named after "the flame of the West" is a particularly jingoistic spin that yes, Tolkien would have hated. The bit in this video about how they just drew the logo on the whiteboard like they just came up with it out of nowhere - like, why wouldn't they be honest about the obvious there? Like yeah, this is in general a fluff piece intended to make them look good, and does a fine job of doing so, but that pretty inconsequential lie calls into question their other statements.

This is a solid introduction to Anduril for me. A little concerningly uncritical overall, but frankly, it's nice to see the address of some criticisms put into context. I'll be looking out for more people who are more critical about their business model to see how robust it actually is. Their talking points seem genuine enough to me - they talk about the necessary logistics, experience, and frameworks to achieve a desired product. So I find it unlikely that this is some Theranos-style fraud - there's more substantive claims than just hyping up stock price. Even if those claims haven't materialised yet, they have a logical road map on display at least. That said, I don't trust anyone based on PR alone. Independent audits are the best results.

The primary reason for circulated narratives to exaggerate the threat of China is the same essentially as for Russia -- in that the attempt is currently underway for a true expression of freedom in the form of real currency (gold-backed) and a trading network on that basis. This is something that we haven't had the courage to attempt since JFK had issued silver-backed certificates that could replace the dollar over time, to restore a free and independent US economy with real currency if allowed to continue. No economy can retain the wealth that it produces when using legalized counterfeit "fiat" currencies created through debt in a money laundering process. Similar circumstances existed in development of independent economies in other areas, of our intervention in Syria -- in Libya -- and Venezuela with networking involvement. Col. MacGregor is a much more realistic source for geopolitical issues and the assumed threat that China poses today -- as well as a much more comprehensive presentation of what is happening in Ukraine and how it came to be specifically through our network involvement and ongoing support to inflame political division and support the murder of thousands for what should have remained only a political dispute. The resulting security threat through our ongoing buildup of Ukraine military forces, weaponry and training under this regime that was already responsible for taking many lives in the end gave Russia no choice. Eight long years during the bombing of the Donbass region and the murder of thousands of ethnic Russians -- proves Russia's efforts to find any other solution to this . . If thousands of Americans or their relatives were being murdered by the thousands through bombing attacks by a rogue Mexican government installed by Russian efforts, taking place less than 100 miles from our border -- do you think we would have waited eight years to respond? During the previous eight years before moving west into Ukraine, Russia did not build up its military forces, while it initially entered with only 90,000 troops, far below what would be necessary to overwhelm the entire country of Ukraine or present a real threat to NATO, an organization Putin offered long ago for Russia to join in cooperation and was rejected without real cause.

High quality content for sure. Giving us the insight on what and how things are going on this world from difference perspective is great. Seeing what Anduril is doing to protect and build the US defense and offense is quite mesmerizing and genuinely intriguing. Even in a world where all people want is peace, that want alone is not going to change the mindset, wants, and the actions of those who want more power, stopping at nothing to achieve that. People will sit there and argue the stance and participation of the US on this planet. The most widely spread thing I have seen from the opposing side of the US conflict participation is complete hypocrisy. They start off saying that the US should not be part of a certain conflict, then when they see people dying and being annihilated, no matter the side, they want the US to go in and break things up a bit. They get all bitter about it like a child, hating that participation occurred, after screaming for the US to help. It's all over and widespread. Whether it's the middle east, INDOPACOM, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine. It's endless. The other argument I see that coincides with the same aspect is whether or not the US should be involved with helping it's allies. There's a reason alliances exist. The same people arguing that the US should not participate in a conflict while their ally is getting pounded on; are the very people who are willing to create an unfair fight in the street that should've been a 1 on 1 brawl. Winning is winning, no matter the ways used. If the US needs to help their ally defensively, they will. End of story. That is why you see the US presence outside Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the Philippines. That is why you see the US everywhere on a military scale. I believe in the Anduril mission going forward, now that I know more about the mission statement and what they have done and continue to do. To those saying that Anduril is only looking to strengthen the US specifically did not watch the whole video, as it clearly shows that they were part of the Ukraine/Russian war since week two. To those saying that Anduril will make life rougher for those outside of the US... Well, that's a perspective viewed from outside of the US. We are a country that allows immigration into it's land. If you see this as propaganda, then you're saying it's bad to be a nationalist. If you're saying it's bad to be a nationalist, than it's probably against your view to remain part of any standing society, as every single nation, has it's own law and practices. If you do find a country that aligns with you, perhaps immigrate to that country instead, and not drag down the citizens and the progression of the country you reside in. If you're already in a country that fits your alignment, than perhaps you should mind your own business and enjoy the life you currently have. Why actively go seek out and argue with views that don't align with yours, pushing your ideas, thoughts and views on others? Are you not busy and happy with where you currently reside? Perhaps some re-evaluation is required.
