Right, there is no question that today intelligence is better / more capable.
- ejb999 3y agoIs it though? It seems many countries are too busy surveilling their own citizens facebook postings, emails and iphones than actually preventing bad things from happening around the world - one failure after another.
- dpflan 3y agoSure, still, humans in the loop making decisions on where to spend their attention and time. One example of improvement, there are satellites surveilling the entire globe continuously, that did not exist in the past -- very limited ability to get this information without flying planes and risking resources.
- defrost 3y agoDoes that actually help in preventing conflict though? Consider that both sides of US politics receive the same intelligence briefs on Russia V Ukraine, on alleged interference in US elections, on alleged US civil insurrection attempting interference in election results, etc. Does todays "unquestionably better intelligence" result in different sides being aligned wrt interpreting this better intelligence?
