    CIA officer Gina Bennett proposes rethinking national security through a holistic 'hunter-gatherer' paradigm that breaks down rigid compartmentalization, viewing threats as interconnected rather than siloed into separate categories.

    Hunter-Gatherer Security Revolution

    Meilleure citation de Hunter-Gatherer Security Revolution

    “

    Our current national security paradigm is too rigid and compartmentalized. We need to shift to a more holistic security framework inspired by hunter-gatherer societies, who survived by developing integrated awareness of their entire environment rather than separating threats into neat categories.

    ”
