Thanks for this! I confess I've heard of cargo culting for a long time but never thought too much of it. Seemed like an idiom like any other. The talk is fascinating, and describes attitudes I see all the time in the industry and at work, and they bother me. Now I know they are also cargo culting. That will hopefully help me steer people away from those practices.

FWIW anthropologists have debunked the overly simple and somewhat patronizing idea of cargo cults that Feynman presented.

Reality was much more complicated and less amenable to his style storytelling.
