The Shape of Things To Come (©HG Wells)
AUKUS – created by stale thinking of the 1930s where yesterday’s technology is ‘proven’ but will fail to pass the pub test in a generation. It’s the same thinking that held up turbine technology from the beginning of WW2 to near its end. SSN’s are cold war technology which will only benefit the coffers of military industrial complex with taxpayer money. We need to rid the ‘system’ of conservative thinkers and fill with future thinkers. I’m picturing the movie ‘Of Things To Come’ here. Less of ‘The Boss’ preaching from a pile of rubble and more like John Cabal’s Wings Over The World.
