Episode 13 - Building a Warrior Philosophy - E.M. Burlingame

This week on the WarriorU Podcast I talk to EM Burlingame.EM is a fascinating guy; he has trained as a Zen Buddhist, he’s an electrical engineer, has a degree in Strategic Studies and is currently completing a PhD in Computational Science and engineering.Now consider this....after 911, he rejoined the US Military at 42 years old and did all the courses to qualify as a USSF Green Beret. At forty two!!!! He is now the founder and the CEO of BioCourt which is a traumatic brain care whole of health initiative, and he was a Co-founder previously of a startup called Sanopic - which we will talk a little about in the episode. This is primarily a Warrior Philosopher conversation. We discuss international relations, the possibility that we are in World War 3, Clausewitz and also the ancient Greek philosophers.Some of the main topics:The human condition and war.Political correctness leading to war as a hard reset back to civility. Brain injuries and how that effects strategic decision making. PTSD and the difference between that and natural combat wear and tear.Oestrogen versus testosterone, or - is it in fact really Alpha versus Beta.
