Thanks! Yeah, the IED one blew my mind when I realized it. It's also surprising how it ruffles feathers when I point it out but no-one can disprove it.
I found Ender's Game dull. As a kid, I was very interested in space and I video gamed. The concept of "there's no north/up" wasn't shocking.
That said, this is a post I really enjoy. Art is interpreted by the viewer/listener/consumer, and how they apply it into their lives.
"Everyone has two eyes, but no one has the same view."
I can trash a book or movie, but I can have a greater appreciation when I get to be a tourist.
The “polyhedronic data analysis” sounded fascinating, and the most direct application of being unbounded by typical anchors. Though beyond my current knowledge.
I didn't get the connection to EG for the other lessons, though they're solid.
(I "read" EG via audiobook at work, so it might be entirely my failure.)
I love the way you articulated this. Ender's game and the entire series isn't action packed but I found the human elements facinating. What's also interesting is I just dusted off Polyhedronic Data Analysis in a conversation today about stakeholder analysis and looking at the personas from multiple perspectives. Thanks for the great comment.
Really, really enjoyed this - especially the shift in perspective on IEDs

Case Study #3: I trolled my boys until they got wise to my shitposting.
That's case study 5. I do the same.
If it wasn't so lethal, one could conceive of war as just two big gangs of boys trying to prank the shit out of each other.
It even has the right demographic.
