the Military
Realisticrealistic adj. 1. of, having to do with, or in the
style of, realism or realists 2. tending to face facts; practical rather than visionary
DisadvantagesTakes second order reasoning to reach new solutionsImplies that no other solution possibleSo very few things actually are realisticImperfect is the enemy of the good
Desired because:Implies immediate solutionAvoids wasted time and resources Always looks good on an evaluation or report
Futuristicfuturistic adj. of or having to do with the future or
futurismDisadvantages
Holds out promise of something better without delivering
Delayed solution to immediate problemEncourages deception because new ideas seldom workPerfect is the enemy of the good
Desired becauseBuilds on cultural bias for change and new solutionsPerceived as portal to new “black box” technologiesSometimes produces a dramatic improvementSounds like something smart people do
The Trouble with the FutureIt’s always in the future
Only predictable in hindsightNever arrives
It’s inevitableWe never stop moving toward itConsequences cannot be avoided
