>…distractions are becoming weaker and weaker.

Interesting note. Free ‘systems’, systems imagined, devised, implemented among participants free to come and go, participate or not… naturally seek and/or amend constantly searching for the tranquility of equilibrium.

UnFree systems (what we have at this current time), require CONSTANT attention, modification and ‘Management’. As time goes on, the effort, expense and ‘wilding’ of the system eventually arrives at ‘ungovernable’. The balls fly out, and the wheels fall off.

Here we are. [They] simply can not in any way, hold the lid on indefinitely.

The ever increasing percentage of Woke military AND in civilian services… will only have a harder and harder time maintaining the over-complexity of hyper sophisticated systems.

But that’s a different issue altogether, no?

“Science and Government”

If anyanon can find a digital copy, please share. I lost my hard bound copy of this book years ago: Harvard Lecturer Series from the late 40’s on the temptation in military to often gravitate toward impossibly complex systems. Clearly there is a concomitant temptation for Military Contractors to press such systems into Service.

Not saying that’s what happened with that B2, but it sure fits the bill$ and will/can only increase as time goes on.

I see what you did there

>How many other Miley’s are there?

THAT is going to be painful to root out.

WOW anon!!!!

Yes, this book made a huge impression on this anon. The temptations, the actual sciences and scientists and technologies competing for limited resources… and the difficult decisions made… really was eye opening.

No wonder i had such a hard time finding it. Or, it HAS been shuffled from here and there. Nearly certain my copy was part of a Harvard publication predating what you found. But i could be mistaken. This is the story I recall, originating in the UK, but poured over by some int he US… until it was driven back down from view. Very interesting find.

This shit is only gonna get worse until it is all broken open.

The very real and unchanged challenge, is between simplicities vs. complexities. In the story, and thus the warning, is that even though on one hand one might be tempted to argue AGAINST radar (great example) being at the time unknown, very complex, expensive and difficult to accomplish… yet it WAS ultimately successful. One the other hand, simple low-tech was the competition which likely would not have success. The final decisions are not easy.

A subtle difference this anon noted, would be one factor where the B2 issue can be highlighted against an A10. Yes, they serve different combat roles… yet how many multiples of A10s can be fielded and operated by crews of average people defending their local field vs. a single B2 and highly specialized crew deploying far far afield?

That’s why i found this story relevant.
