that would kill him, not change his mind

u/Comparison_Past Sep 14 '22

Don’t have to hit him. Just a little old school shock and awe.

u/pookshuman Sep 14 '22

why would they bring an attack helicopter to survey a primitive tribe's camp?

They have weapons. We must protect ourselves

"your honor, that man was armed and I felt my life was at stake!"

"Sir, that was a three year old with a toy bow./

"He said he was going to kill me your honor"

I mean the premise of the post was that a group of drones could be used to convince a primitive tribe the operator was god.

You were the one that brought up helicopters.

*shockawe

u/oijsef Sep 15 '22

Oh yea remember how great shock and awe worked in Iraq?

u/AgentWowza Sep 15 '22

Theres a really good Time Riders book about this concept.

People need to understand that primitive people or ancient people (who are still civilized enough to form societies) aren't dumb, they're less knowledgeable.

They can follow cause and effect, they can form hypotheses and test them. They just wouldn't know how or why it works, but they can make things work.

So let's say you enact some shock and awe and install yourself as their God. Someone's gonna want to know how your shock and awe machine works.

And whether or not you bleed red.

u/seesucoming Sep 14 '22

It would change its location

u/ComputersWantMeDead Sep 14 '22

I can't see his mind staying the same after that

u/TheIronSoldier2 madlad Sep 14 '22

The guys location would change from a pair of coordinates to "He's, uh, all over that crater there"

u/pookshuman Sep 14 '22

I really don't think they use military attack helicopters to reconnoiter primitive tribes anyways

u/PleasantAdvertising Sep 15 '22

Getting hit by ordnance will change anyones mind from solid to liquid.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '22

Technically it would

u/RevolutionaryAct6931 Sep 15 '22

It would change his mind, in the sense that it would go kaboom. Mind blown, as you'd say
