COGNITIVE ARCHAEOLOGY: DIGGING FOR THE FOUNDATIONS OF PNM
I realize that have not posted any in-depth analysis in a few days but that is a result of a couple of factors - reading through a vast amount of research material for another project and " real world" commitments that will remain intense for a couple more weeks. I do have a post in the works though that builds on the earlier " White Noise" discussion but it is not yet finished.
In the interim I'd like to offer a set of point -counterpoint articles that take the interested reader to the days when some elements of PNM theory were just starting to fuse into intial concepts - at least that's how I'm reading these with the advantage of an outsider with hindsight:
1) "Network-Centric Warfare: Its Origin and Future" by Vice-Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski.
2) " The Seven Deadly Sins of Network-Centric Warfare" by Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett
The second article is a critique of the ideas presented in the first and it should have eyes lighting up in those who have read through The Pentagon's New Map. I may possibly offer a critique of my own later today, assuming I can move the pile of paper off of my desk and still see straight afterwards. ¶ 7:43 AM

Dr. Barnett neglects to mention one of the very worst things about network-centric war: supply chain problems for things like IC's and memory become more serious than oil and rubber supply issues were in WWII. We're producing less and less of that stuff here everyday. Do you know where they are produced? Where the freaking war would be, of course!
Hi Dave
Great WTO piece yesterday - loved the title too - brilliant. I'll be linking tomorrow. Too swamped even to blog tonight.
Ideally, we ought not to be fighting long wars in a globalized world - especially WWII conventional state-state great power wars - there's too much " blowback" economically of all kinds ( one reason why the " lets fight China" crowd are talking out of their ass)
