The Infinite Principle establishes that whenever an option has unbounded upside and bounded downside, pursuing it is not just reasonable—it is mathematically required. Rooted in expected value theory, the principle proves that any decision meeting these conditions dominates all finite alternatives.This paper derives the Infinite Principle rigorously, addresses key objections, and demonstrates its universal applicability across domains such as venture capital, existential risk mitigation, and technological innovation. Optimism, long considered a bias, emerges as the only rational stance in decisions where potential is limitless.The conclusion is inescapable: when unbounded opportunity exists, rejecting it in favor of finite caution is a systematic error. Rejecting infinite potential is not caution—it is miscalculation. Rationality demands we embrace the infinite.

For millennia, military doctrine has fixated on battles, firepower, and maneuver—yet history’s greatest victories were won not by those who fought best, but by those who ensured their enemy could not fight at all. This is the Law of Oxygen: war is decided by logistics, not combat. From Mongol conquests to modern cyberwarfare, control of supply chains has dictated outcomes more decisively than battlefield engagements. As warfare shifts to digital infrastructure, cyberattacks, AI-driven interdiction, and economic sanctions now define strategic dominance. Nations that fail to adopt a logistics-first doctrine will be defeated before the first shot is fired.
