Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we embark on the final phase of our conquest of Sun Tzu's Taoist manual for never losing, The Art of War. In the free side of the show we discuss how terrain influenced the outcome of the Battle of Agincourt and how Roman general Varro would have been spared the vengeance of Hannibal had he abided by Sun Tzu's advice and kept his cool, costing 80,000 of his own troops their lives. Then we take a look at how US fighter pilot John Boyd utilized Sun Tzu's advice about the rapidity of war to construct a highly deadly theory of winning battles called the OODA loop which we explore in depth. In the extended show we begin by discussing how to influence your own troops under different conditions and why Sun Tzu says you should fire everybody when you take office. Finally we discuss the supreme art of lighting the enemy on fire and the proper use of spies which, amazingly, can be sorted into the five elements and used accordingly. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 15, 2025 is: stratagem • STRAT-uh-jum • noun A stratagem is a trick or plan for deceiving an enemy or for achieving a goal. // They devised various stratagems to get the cat into the carrier, but the feisty feline was wise to them all. See the entry > Examples: "In one illustration of the mashup of sacred and superstitious, [author Tabitha] Stanmore describes a 'trial by combat' ... to win Sherborne Castle. The devious bishop sewed 'prayers and charms' inside his fighter's coat to give him an edge. The stratagem was discovered, but the cunning cleric won the castle and kept his miter." — Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times, 7 July 2024 Did you know? A stratagem is any clever scheme—sometimes one that's part of an overall strategy (i.e., a carefully prepared plan of action). The word stratagem entered English in the 15th century and was originally used in reference to some artifice, such as a military plan or maneuver, that was designed to deceive or outwit the enemy. This military sense can be traced back to the word's Greek ancestor stratēgein, meaning "to act as a general." Stratēgein, in turn, comes from stratēgos (meaning "general"), which comes from stratos ("camp" or "army") and agein ("to lead"). Stratēgos is an ancestor of strategy as well; that word arrived in English more than a century after stratagem.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we continue into part 2 of our campaign of Sun Tzu's seminal work on military strategy, The Art of War. In the first half of the show we look at some historical examples of where, in alignment with Sun Tzu's principles, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. We focus on the circular relationship between the direct and indirect methods of attack, what it has to do with Taoism and defeating the enemy before the first sword can even be drawn. We even take a look at the allies “Ghost Division” which used indirect tactics to fool the Nazis in World War 2. In the second half of the show we go further into the art of maneuvering and the hideous perils associated with salt marshes before discussing the terrible fate which befell the Rus' princes who chased a feigned Mongol retreat to an ambush at Kalka River. Tune in next week for the final part, thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:The Battle of Fei RiverDefense vs. AttackLooking for MistakesDirect vs. Indirect AttackThe Ghost Army of WW2Weak Points and StrongThe HoChiMinh TrailThe Battle of ArracourtIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole to discuss:The Art of ManueveringBlitzkrieg vs. Trench Warfare The Sphere of NetzachStratagems for Different CountryCamp Facing the Sun?The Battle of MaldonTrench FootThe Battle of Kalka RiverWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Art of War, Sun Tzuhttps://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.htmlSupport the show

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we discuss a spiritual text which helped bring peace to centuries of non-stop conflict only centuries later to introduce the wider world to its first taste of Taoist philosophy and make corporate ladder climbers even more insufferable than they were before; The Art of War by Sun Tzu. In this first half of the episode we unveil the historical mystery of the text's author Sun Tzu; was he man or myth? Before wrapping up we begin discussing the first few chapters of The Art of War, how some of these strategies were used in real life wars and what has to do with the five elements. In the extended show we take a further look at The Art of War's relationship to Taoism before exploring how a number of Sun Tzu's tips can be used, what it has to do with Game Theory and some colorful examples of how Sun Tzu's methods were used in combat during Vietnam and World War 2.

In Coalitions of the Weak (Cambridge University Press, 2022), Victor C. Shih investigates how leaders of one-party autocracies seek to dominate the elite and achieve true dictatorship, governing without fear of internal challenge or resistance to major policy changes. Through an in-depth look of late-Mao politics informed by thousands of historical documents and data analysis, Coalitions of the Weak uncovers Mao's strategy of replacing seasoned, densely networked senior officials with either politically tainted or inexperienced officials. The book further documents how a decentralized version of this strategy led to two generations of weak leadership in the Chinese Communist Party, creating the conditions for Xi's rapid consolidation of power after 2012. Victor Shih is Professor of Political Science, Director of the 21st Century China Center, and Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations at the University of California, San Diego. He is an expert on the politics of Chinese banking policies, fiscal policies, and exchange rate, as well as the elite politics of China. His first book was "Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation" also with Cambridge University Press, and he edited the collection "Economic Shocks and Authoritarian Stability: Duration, Institutions and Financial Conditions," published by the University of Michigan Press. Shih also has published widely in a number of journals, including The American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, The China Quarterly, and Party Politics. In our discussion he also mentions his latest work on China's local government debt crisis, available here. Interviewer Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of San Francisco, a nonresident scholar at the UCSD 21st Century China Center, an alumnus of the Public Intellectuals Program of the National Committee on US-China Relations, and is currently a visiting scholar at the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions. His research focuses on the economics of information, incentives, and institutions, primarily as applied to the development and governance of China. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whoa, Shuhei! We've got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up!  Join Alex, Yield...

Look, we're running out of ways to say how bad this season is. First up: Archer comes up with a new form of psychological torture in "Stratagem". Then he decides with NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that some dying guy is evil and makes him literally writhe in agony (which isn't okay even if he IS evil, JOHN!) in "Harbinger". Then we talk about someone with much better ethics: Elim Garak. Also this week: not star trek, actively harmful television, and everyone's favorite secret policeman! [Timestamps: Stratagem: 01:32; Harbinger: 22:23; Garak: 48:23] [ESPECIALLY the Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/sshbpodcast/749947466874503168/character-spotlight-garak?source=share]
