NEW: I am hearing from multiple sources that Lt General Telita Crosland, Director of the Defense Health Agency, has been pushed out in an on-going purge. Official internal agency news said "retired" but I'm told relieved of duty or at least forced into retirement. www.defense.gov/About/Biogra...

I'm a bio-WMD-emerging tech security guy. What bothers me is the narrative of emerging tech as inherently disruptive. Why do we treat these technologies as exogenous shocks that society must absorb and adapt to, as opposed to endogenous growth that society can discuss, consider, and curate?
