What's your take on "OODA loop"?
The first thing that comes to mind is the entire concept of "OODA loop" itself, which I think is a very appropriate example of how humans tend to look at things in an extremely simplified manner with no room for consideration of more complex concepts.
A simple analogy for this would be if you were to look at a very large and complicated machine, like a computer. If you don't know what it's supposed to do, then all that complexity might seem overwhelming. But once you understand the overall goal of the device (in this case processing data), then the individual components make sense when considered in that light.
You might start to think of the computer as a series of whirring and clicking gears, which seems simplistic at first. But if you know that those gears are being used to process data in some way, then it becomes easier to understand what's going on.
The same thing applies to 'OODA loop'. It's a concept that can be understood if you look at it carefully. But because most people don't understand the thinking process behind it, they consider the term rather mystical.
The key thing to understand is that OODA loop stands for Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. It's a process of decision making in which you have to go through four stages.
We could also consider the process of 'Perception' to be a stage in itself, which is crucial for making good decisions.
