 National Security Needs Both Futurists and Traditionalists

Technological change is not new. Nor does a focus on technology at this particular moment make one a blinkered “futurist.” Technology is an instrument of national power that feeds and in turn is fed by other elements of national power. With so many technologies with potentially transformative applications emerging at once, focusing on understanding, developing, and leveraging these technologies is well justified, even if it seems myopic at times.

Survivalism - The Emerging Movement (1981)

This monograph was prepared as an independent research project for undergraduate credit. It was subsequently presented to a couple audiences at the behest of my professors.

Some forty years later, the material is curiously topical again.  The sociological focus was sound, as attested to by professors who used the material, recommended it to others, and suggested I use it as the basis for a graduate thesis.  Even in distant retrospect, the amount of work involved was considerable, especially considering that it was produced in an age without benefit of the Internet and word processors.

A New Leaf

After many years of serving mostly as a means of bookmarking items of interest for myself, this blog is turning over a new leaf.  In the future it will be mostly my original work - some historical, some current.  It will serve as the point of initial publishing of copyrighted works.
