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.”

Wonderful production, but closer to a pitch deck than a critical analysis.

@@JoeRogansForehead From what I could Google, Founders Fund was only responsible for 'seed money' for Anduril's startup. Are they still supporting Anduril monetarily in any way? If so, then I would say there is a conflict of interest. If not, then I don't see a problem there.

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.

After all, all these Lockheed Martin and Raytheons answer to their shareholders first over anything else.

The actual question is "what could go right?"

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.

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.

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.

Good job as always. Thank you.

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.

It's literally a US military/government psyop. This video is promoting a literal weapons manufacturer. Also note all the anti-Chinese propaganda they churn out. Typical. People funded by the US government and WEF, etc. get all the same funding from the same teams (look at Johnny Harris, his videos look highly similar and he's a paid agent promoting anti-Chinese nonsense, too, Tom Nicholas made a great video called "Johnny Harris: A Story of KZread Propaganda").

These people talking about their motives... are either lying or incredibly naive. What a dangerous game they play...

great video! thanks

It is a prehistoric drone war… whichever military evolves the capabilities of drones will be dominant. It’s weird, because these drone capabilities may actually increase the possibility of nukes being used.

Loved the vid John! Would love to see a deep dive on other hard tech companies (some i think would be interesting, Solugen and Helion)

This presentation shows the adaptability of even large bureaucratic places like the U.S. and also a good point on regarding thoughts and words which had humble beginnings.

Great video!

@@ko-Daegu Weapons are about preventing war from happening in the first place. War is the final option when diplomacy fails. If you have no weapons you are a pushover that encourages people to invade. Russia THOUGHT Ukraine was a pushover and invaded. If Ukraine had been made more visibly strong, Russia never would have invaded. Weapons help show that and encourage diplomacy to solve problems rather than making it look like violence is the easy way out.

Great video. Very well done. I didn't know anything about Anduril and was interesting to see them attempt to disrupt an industry coined as a "complex". Very encouraging to see the story.

That was great. Thanks.

Hey john , nice paints in the background

Anduril is basically a NPC engineer company

Wow amazing John you are indeed the best just how you explain it is exceptional,, can you please make a video about Google it's origin and owner will appreciate

what a great marketing piece. are they going public soon? most employee does not have stock options here but the work pressure is not at the level of space x.

Excellent Video

Anduril isn't reshaping geopolotics, they're just helping the US play catch-up.

Russia's air defense is better, their air force is way more resilient. Russia is miles ahead in electronic warfare, as well. Russia has a counter to EVERY threat that NATO can pose. By comparison the US is powerful, but just not up to snuff.

@@janmes2315 ...they are countering Ukraine. Are you living under a rock? The Ukrainian counteroffensive has made practically NO gains while losing tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of armoured vehicles. Russia doesn't need to gain territory right now. The Ukrainian armed forces are doing a great job of putting themselves in the line of fire of Russian artillery and helicopters. The RF has taken very few offensive actions in the last months, although that may soon change. And don't forget that Russia's ENTIRE military budget is a less than the value of the military aid sent to Ukraine by a lot. And Russia is not using nearly their whole budget or their full capabilities in the fight. They need to keep some abilities hidden in case of a confrontation with another superpower.

As a Ukrainian, thank you so much for your lifesaving help!!!
