Ep 548: Everyone Isn’t Stupid (Zulu Course)—You’re Just Arguing Like an Ass

Описание: This episode is a masterclass in why bad arguments rot organizations from the inside. Aaron, Trent, and Peaches dig into the Special Warfare pipeline drama, the Zulu course outrage, and the lazy take that “students won’t retain anything.” Here’s the problem: that argument only works if students are stupid, instructors are stupid, or leadership is stupid—and none of those are true. They break down logistics, attrition, training progression, risk tolerance, and why waiting for data matters more than internet yelling. Add in OTS growth, influencer nonsense, fraud headlines, and team-room humor, and you get a classic Ones Ready reality check. If you care about the community, this one’s for you.
