n unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we dont know we don't know.” Donald Rumsfeld United States Secretary of Defense (2001-2006, 1975-1977) HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015880 Chapter 9 KNOWN UNKNOWNS Donald Rumsfeld HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015881

We will shortly discover Rumsfeld’s convoluted view of the world turns out to be closer to the truth than Hilbert’s tidy mathematical aspiration. As well as believing there were no u

ging the most expensive war on terrorism in human history, the US was uneasily discovering that it was creating more terrorists. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had sketched the nature of this puzzle in an October, 2003 memo with acid clarity. He asked: “Are we capturing, killing or deterring and dissuading m
yond what the soldiers and analysts could match or even fully monitor. “Is our current situation such that ‘the harder we work, the behinder we get?” Rumsfeld asked in 2003.38 To be constantly behind. This was a commander’s nightmare. Among other things it was that sense of never quite catching up that had

And we know that, lingering ahead of us now, as well, are a series of technological leaps that will breed still faster interaction and creation: Quantum computing, for instance, may yet push computer to speeds to 100 billion times faster than what is achievable with older technology.
