Interesting that the dept. of war documents aren't sufficient evidence of these points, what would be? I get the sense it's mainly a question of who provides the information. There isn't a version of these documents that rein

The main reason i don't shop at costco is the lack of serendipity. i won't set foot in a walmart for the same reason. My expectations for any random human encounter there are net negative.

The main one i would add is a lack of symmetrical alignment. the point of a diagram is to create a shared abstraction for reasoning about a system or set of problems. The point of that is to scale work on it to other minds. It should enable
