Are our archaeology organizations(organisations)/societies designed to be against change? History seems to indicate so. We see actions from the United States Office of Strategic Services' (precursor to the CIA) Simple Sabotage Field Manual put into practice all the time. Many systems sure sound a lot like the Spartan apella - ‘This is not a system for popular decision making, it is a system for consensus building, a system to convince everyone – even if they disagree with the action – that most of the spartiates agree and that they should thus go along.’ In this podcast we look at these descriptions of past control systems and sabotage techniques to see how many can be applied to current organizations (organisations) /societies.
