Thanks to @jordanschneider for having @charlesxjyang and I on ChinaTalk to tell the story of one of America's most impressive builders, Admiral Hyman Rickover, father of nuclear power. This was some of the most fun I've had on a podcast in ages. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chi…
If you're going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.
evidence that the spirit of Rickover still endures, beneath the bloat of academia
Rickover's focus on education continues to live on in the prestigous Research Science Institute at MIT, which serves as a research incubator for talented high school students
Rickover on the media in policymaking:
Rickover on lawyers Speaking to the New York Patent Law Association, 1979
So the next step was to obtain a “Hunting License.” This is a piece of paper authorizing one to do a certain thing. It is frequently called a directive, or some such descriptive term. One must have such a “Hunting License” in government if he is to get anything done.
The great flaw in our system of Government is not the temptation it offers the strong man, but the latitude it allows the weak man to do less than is necessary.
Huge congrats to @DeptofDefense for aligning the offices, funding lines, and authorities to make this deal happen. Now the hard part: 10+ years of implementation and project management by DOD, which will determine whether this project fails or suceeds My one piece of advice from my time in government and studying Admiral Rickover: there needs to be one person, likely within the @DepSecDef office, whose sole responsibility is the success of this project They should be a civil servant or officer with the full authority needed to make this project a success. Rickover, who built the world's first nuclear submarine, describes responsibility as the key to doing a job well:
So proud 🇺🇸 MP Materials Announces a Transformational Public-Private Partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense – Multibillion-dollar DoD commitment – New “10X” magnet facility to be constructed – 10-year price floor + offtake agreements – DoD positioned to become MP’s
Rickover on the electricity costs of Shippingport and Nautilus, the first civilian nuclear power plant and nuclear submarine respectively
