One of the most incredibly intelligent statements anyone has ever made.
And most people’s eyes glaze over when they hear it.
I agree scary smart dude
It is. The third part, about unknown unknowns is the true insight, that idiots mock.
I believe it was also Rumsfeld who reminded us that you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want. Also a very insightful comment which applies to the current election.
I agree with your comment. It added another layer to the familiar “You don’t know what you don’t know.”
A signal detection analysis of human behavior, also known as the cognitive unknown. That statement by Rummy really impressed me.
I remember hearing it live, he was explaining to the sophomoric press corps how strategic decisions must be made in war. Rumsfeld has now been proven correct a thousand times.
If Cheney and Rumsfeld could have somehow been in charge, we would have no terrorist attacks on our soil today, IS would not exist, and the civilized world would not be invaded by muslim “refugees.”
“One of the most incredibly intelligent statements anyone has ever made.”
Please tell me you are kidding. All he said was “There are things we know, things we don’t. And things that we are simply not aware of needing to know.”
God that’s really deep. This is Jefferson and Madison stuff. “One of the most intelligent statements ever made”.... lol.
