Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?
"" Later in his career, Abraham Maslow continued his
thought on the hierarchy and further divided the fifth level
of self-actualization into four different parts. He assumed
four things of self actualized people: they are

I was asked to look for stability conditions in what
Kline later called "sociotechnical systems" - and asked to
find end games that resulted in stable, efficient,
humane function by Eisenhower.
Berle's Laws of Power, Maslow's Needs, and the Golden Rule
as a symmettry condition are essential requirements for
stable solutions.

D.D. Eisenhower was also deeply interested in strictly
military issues - and issues directly connected to military
issues. It was felt I had some aptitude for these.
I was asked to do work - including some very applied work,
with demonstrations - on the relationships between human
capacities, weapons, military organization, tactics, strategic
interactions - and problems of negotiation and maintenance of
stable relations between nation states. I had some
background, involving fighting, that had impressed some people
- and solved some military problems of wide interests to
commanders - especially technical aspects of the question:
"how do you effectively engage superior forces?"
Insofar as possible, I was asked to actually do
anything and everything I talked about "with authority." It
wasn't an "academic" education. It involved some real
physical danger, as well as stress, for me, and sometimes for
my instructors and others.
Making peace was an unsolved and technical
problem - as well as a moral problem. That's still true. I've
made some progress on that problem - and have tried to
communicate that progress, as well as I can within format
constraints, and within my own limitations, on this thread.
Eisenhower, and many around him, were not at all sure how
the world was going to survive. In the movie Thirteen
Days there's some realistic dramatisation of what the
feelings were.
The issues that were of concern then are still unsolved -
still concerns - though of course a lot has changed.
