I think it's so important we remember that period with Weiner and William Grey Walter and the rest. Ross Ashby super under appreciated. I wish, "software engineering" were more like what an advanced, "careerish" form of Cybernetics/Systems Thinking would have looked like.That golden age of science is something we should behold in reverence and vigilance. It used to mean something. Society used to feel like it was guided by, "top men." We can't ultimately lose that to our own folly. Bill Deming spent a career keeping America from, "committing suicide." What will it take to take the magazine out of the proverbial (and non proverbial!) pistol?
