Abstract

Books far too often come with answers only. They convey a warm feeling that everything is under control. This book is not in that tradition. Hopefully, it will inspire some to realize that the frontier of knowledge in ROA is only work in progress and at an early stage of progress. Unanswered questions are the prerequisites to change, progress, and even sometime scientific revolutions. This book is an invitation for those who think that ROA can make a difference to help making it go to the next level.

Vorheriges Kapitel Prioritizing the Investments Needed to Avoid the Unmanageable (Mitigation) and to Manage the Unavoidable (Adaptation)

Leibniz was German, but he said that in French, which with Latin at the times were the language of Science. Translated in English: “I said more than once that we need a new kind of logic which would deal with different degrees of probabilities.” It does not sound as good as in French.

This translates as: If one cannot get thrushes, one has to eat blackbirds instead.

Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense 1975–1977 and 2001–2006.
