I think most people are aware that Eisenhower in his farewell address gave a warning about the Military Industrial Complex. If you go to the National Archives page they even highlight it as the thesis of his remark. But he spoke of two dangers to the country, the other danger was the scientific-technological elite.

I'm a guy who isn't a historian but I do have an above average love of history and have studied a bit of it. I had heard about Eisenhower's warning about the MIC but never once heard about his other warning. How many of you here had heard about Eisenhower mentioning the Military Industrial Complex, but had never heard about his warning of the Scientific Technological Elite?
