I wasnt sure if you’d agree with me that the ideology of meritocracy is at the heart of the issue.. K-H management may be the thread unifying Veblen vs Romer, but i dont think either has really nailed the (Midwestern postNietzsche “ascetic protestantism”) SIGINT aspect behind it all (veblen has stalked it with the evolutionary instincts tho, same for Orwell in 1984?) (Thats how we get distracted from discussion of designori,strategy,tactics,DDJ,shamans?) Lmk of any specific questions you might have [PG is interesting as lowland scottish SIGINT is surprisingly far from the “norwegian” style of “rational inattention”, IMHO, with regards to secrecy esp.] [one observes, not tangentially, of Veblen’s meandering elocution vs PG’s plain prose] |

[TBV and PG are separated both by a century and by EMH]
Where does lowland scots come in? (I had thought this might refer to PG, due to "Bonnie Dundee", but ere Mons Meg and her marrows spake twa words or three, a few clicks leads to a background closer to the daffodil than the thistle: http://cdn.ans.org/about/presidents/docs/john-graham-nn-arti... )
EDIT: ah, there are ancestral links: mentions of kilts and an epigone "Ian Angus"...

EDIT2: heavily on one side of the ceremonial/instrumental spectrum, some very neo (2012) Edwardians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avuYx-rjXmk&t=34s (looks like the US Army got rid of "caissons", lyrically at least, in 1956, but here the RHA is still pulling them, in front of the limbers, in the XXI)
