The origins of the CONOP or CONPLAN 8888 files may have started around 2010 when officers in the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System realised the benefit of creating a plan for a zombie apocalypse. Making these plans helped these young, new officers use their critical thinking skills to develop creative strategies to fight the potential threat. According to the Pentagon, “Our intent was to place this tool ‘into the wild’ so that others who were interested in finding new and innovative ways to train planners could have an alternative and admittedly unconventional tool at their disposal that could be modified and updated over time.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.
This makes it difficult to think critically. The ability to question authority. By challenging assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. You can't control progress unless you let go.
How can you easily learn from the mistakes and victories of human history?
It doesn't matter if history repeats itself. It doesn't take very long to learn from the failures of human history. It's important to learn from the mistakes of human history and not repeat them.
It is important to learn from the past and to apply these lessons to your business.
You can do this by reading books on leadership and management strategies and case studies of successful companies that have been around for decades.
This way, you'll be able to draw inspiration from their successes and avoid common pitfalls they fell into.
You can also look at examples of businesses which have been bankrupt. What made them fail? Are there any common themes among these failures? These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
Finally, you can read about famous historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk. They had some of the most impressive resumes in the world, yet none knew how to manage people or run a company. So if you want to learn from their experiences, you need to find out why they made so many mistakes.
It's easy to learn from the mistakes and successes of human history. It is easy to think about the things that worked well in the past today and find ways to make them work for you today.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Please take advantage of them.
Then try again.
What can we learn from the past?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is fight for it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
Second, we have the ability to choose. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
But it also creates a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. Then, you book a trip.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. You would most likely do one of these things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is to never lose sight of the possibility of improving the future. The reason is simple. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.
So the trick is to use history as a guide, to learn from others' mistakes and successes, and keep improving until you succeed.
If you don't believe you have something to offer the world, you're already behind. You have to believe in yourself.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and build from there. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. What have your failures been? What were your successes? How did you overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin come into existence?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
He discovered penicillin could kill mold. Later, he realized that this new compound could also fight bacteria-related infection. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions lives and changed forever the course of medicine.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. The other person didn't know the same. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Until after World War II, scientists learned that penicillin worked against bacterial infections. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. He couldn't believe that this simple experiment would result in such a medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. They are experiments performed for no particular reason.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
The most important discoveries are those that seem to have absolutely nothing in common. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It happens when someone solves a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
