@heavyimage @steve @dev yes, this must be where I got the idea!
Like the article says, the best is when they start trying to explain and analyze purely abstract concepts. I remember reading one about “commander’s intent”. Not any specific commander’s intent, but the very idea of intent itself.
They are truly powerpointing at a level the rest of us cannot even comprehend.

I just posted my favorite image from the essay where it almost becomes like an illustration in a linguistic philosophy paper. I too bow to this level of power pointing.

Maybe battlespace awareness is like an infohazard in that once you encounter the concept you are perpetually finding new aspects it that must be explored (graphically).

@BigTittyBimbo once you truly have awareness of the battlespace, all becomes clear.

@BigTittyBimbo Another amazing thing I just realized about this image is that each kind of troop appears to be rendered using the technology of a different generation of home video game console
