I was a technician in charge of upgrading computers depending on client requests, we were told people were given the proper equipment from the get go and almost no one should get an upgrade unless there was an error or they changed position and their new position could get the upgraded computer. The average worker would often give up after the explanation they couldnt get a new computer. Ambitious bosses however, wouldnt take no for an answer. They would push to get what they want, what they thought they needed for their team to be the most efficient. And guess what, ultimately, it was only a budget question. The department didnt want everyone in the company with a faster computer to respect the budget. But everybody doing anything remotely complicated could benefit from having the faster computer.
Good points mentioned here 5 years ago..! On the airport-case mention ,it sounds also like a Risk/Reward Ratio. Which is something we do everyday in life trading our time for example for some family time or some entertainment
Honestly i've had this fear my entire life of being compliant. I've operated under a system where compliance is rewarded (via verbal affection and praise) (ie. the SCHOOL SYSTEM and traditional asian household) and I've always had my eye on people with deviant tendencies and admired them from a distance. My goal is to break out of my years of instinctual patterns of always following instructions to a T and employ defiance that is ultimately beneficial. It's gonna take a slow process to untangle the mental habits that have been ingrained to me, but it's ultimately worth it if I want to achieve my dream.
As I was listening to this, I couldn't help but notice the irony. The CIA was criticized for only recruiting Ivy League students for decades. The FBI and the American government were years behind in cyber warfare and to an extent SIGINT because they refused to hire any hackers with any blemishes on their record (unauthorized computer hacking is by definition illegal), which a lot of good hackers tend to have, so they lost out on some of the best cyber minds the country had to offer. The Intelligence Community, to my knowledge, continues to use a blanket, stubborn security clearance system to filter out people who break the rules, judge whether or not people have the "okay" to be hired, and in turn, be given the "permission" to break the rules in their daily jobs. That sounds completely backwards, don't you think? Or am I wrong? I've always been smart, had an obsession with geopolitics, global events, computer security and espionage, and I didn't dare apply to the CIA or FBI because I knew I wouldn't pass the security clearances required because I skirted the law in my youth. And that time of my life actually made me more street smart and gave me the ability to read, quickly judge, and even manipulate people better, as well as have some insight into how criminals and shady people may operate. This is a presentation about breaking the rules, and I completely agree, I think the defiant people would make great spies as well as businessmen, but, ironically and predictably, the government only wants you to have this defiant and street-smart mindset *after* they've given you the okay to no longer play by the rules. And it's incredibly frustrating to those of us who think we'd make valuable additions to the intelligence community. That is all. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the knowledge. And I'd certainly welcome your input if you have time.
Great reflection, Benjamin! The irony is clear and the impact to our service is sad. There is still a bar that limits more talent than it discovers. But hopefully that will change as our adversaries discover the talent pool that exists just outside 'acceptable norms'
I enjoyed reading this conversation and wish it was longer. I often even find myself wishing people like you, Mr. @Andrew-Bustamante sir! lol, would sit and talk with someone like this guy your responding to. He’s not in the same, how should I say without being offensive…realm and not on the same level per-say(no popular podcast like most of us, wasn’t an intelligence agent or officer like most of us, also wonders with genuine concern about contradictions in government agencies, again, like most of us) meaning that the wonderful ability to relate to his curiosities and humility. Basically just a Normy and nobody special. It allows me and the most of us, I can only speak for myself but makes us/me feel like I’m asking these questions being there’s so much more commonality. Have a “regular dude” or woman, either way, be the guest on your podcast is the point because we would FEEL that dude or woman’s nervousness of being on an ex-agents popular podcast knowing hundreds and/or thousands(no offense Andrew sorry dude lol) are going to watch it. We would have an easier time relating to and feel the questions they would ask because it’s likely what WE also wonder and would want to ask too! Like homie said up top, I could be wrong, I often am, as much as I am correct so what is that…? A 50/50 chance I hit this one on the mark? I definitely took my time typing this. I’m the case it’s actually read and considered by AB. If so, Andrew, we are men of the same name sir. Same first name at least. You turned me from disliking you when I first seen a clip of you on a podcast somewhere TO being a AB fan, my brother. Hope and wish you well. Both of you guys above actually. A possible case study of this concept is a podcast by the name of “This past weekend” with a super special and hilarious comedian, Theo Von. I’m case your curious how well this idea can play out. Just a thought. A looong thought obviously but thanks for reading this far, whoever you are! Peace to you and wishing wellness to you and your family no matter who you are 🙏🏼🤷🏻♂️ 👍🏼 ✌🏼
Espionage by state actors encompasses all sub-categories of espionage. Technically corporate/industrial espionage only happens when managed through a private entity.
@@Andrew-BustamanteI speculate that Chipotle Restaurant was the victim of sabotage via competing vendor and or franchise via spies when they had "an outbreak" of E. Coli TWICE! couple of years ago 2015
Fair and equal are different things, but you are right that things of this world are not fair. That's Catholic doctrine. Something that is not equal, doesn't mean it's not fair.
Is there a case for morality and what is the inflection point where society collapses because no one regards law or morality? Is there anyone thinking about the short and long term impact of a society without morals?
looters, rioters and such break "rules" based on a subjective belief? some say it is a business model. county/state comes in spends money and and 5yrs later "rinse and repeat". constructive speak here. what "if" everyone broke the rules. there is a more legal, appropriate an creative aspect he could of stated this. what "if" 100 people opened a chain restaurant like KFC without a license to "break the rules". business, money and products ran a muck. creativity within rules, keeps one within proper conduct-though will expand your business and intellectual boundaries. almost anyone can "break" a rule.
so whats with the shirt, is it supposed to be the most inoffensive thing a ❤ turned sour with bdsm leathers? also his white blazer evokes the joker from the dark knight returns comic by frank miller

rules are meant to be broken, in an intelligent matter and not out of revenge nor ego.

Absolutely Great Speech!
Thank You Sir!
Andrew, you nailed it!

This is a nice one.
I love this guy
Ever have a go at corporate espionage?
Also technically the electric car came before the gasoline car.
steam 1672
electric 1828
gasoline 1885

I figured your answer would be something along those lines, makes me think of the famous stuxnet virus.

YES!!
I make my own rules. I don't play by anyone's rules, not even my own.
Getting away by breaking the rules or having stupid rules does not make a case to say we should be breaking them by our own estimates.
Fair and equal are different things, but you are right that things of this world are not fair.
That's Catholic doctrine.
Something that is not equal, doesn't mean it's not fair.

"revolutionary" way of thinking
Why is your shirt a picture of a heart in a gimp suit tho
looters, rioters and such break "rules" based on a subjective belief? some say it is a business model. county/state comes in spends money and and 5yrs later "rinse and repeat".
constructive speak here. what "if" everyone broke the rules. there is a more legal, appropriate an creative aspect he could of stated this.
what "if" 100 people opened a chain restaurant like KFC without a license to "break the rules". business, money and products ran a muck.
creativity within rules, keeps one within proper conduct-though will expand
your business and intellectual boundaries.
almost anyone can "break" a rule.
ehhh, not buying it
ok ok I get what your saying
listen, I do think this principle applies in some cases and not in another’s. Fair? lol
