An autonomous, practically anonymous and virtually invisible, getting smarter very quickly society/population creates catastrophic problems for establishment systems which rely on the persistence and maintenance of ignorance and secrets ……. which appears to be pretty much where the West is presently at?
Or is that not right?

Hi, Bruce, things are hotting up now, aren’t they. I hope BT are not going to disappoint and leave intelligence supply to sundry others lesser well equipped to provide what is needed as there are certainly more untoward situations/rogue and renegade events guaranteed to come and be completely disruptive and either creative or destructive as per future intelligent requirements because of ……

….. which was shared earlier, asking a question on http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/09/how-successful-networks-nurture-good-ideas/
To deny it is surely to be guilty of fooling oneself and also of trying to fool all who would be listening to one’s views on the matter, although there would be those who would see the folly and be more likely to offer more advice than pity or scorn, which are such impotents.

I can’t tell if it’s right. Is it English?

As long as you realise it is not wrong, TalkingMoose, will the language used be perfectly adequate for all with a similar understanding to your good self?

You are grandstanding there. The assumption that ‘establishment systems rely on persistence and maintenance of ignorance and secrets’ is not correct. Systems evolve, and the scale of democracy/elective processes we enjoy right now are unprecedented in human history. All that the ‘getting smarter quickly’ population does is enable the process of democratization. We have no empirical/heuristic experience in how ‘an ultra-democratic’ system evolves or ends up. So predictions are merely opinions. … ec20flat

Can we all agree, or at least waste no time or effort in the intelligence space by disagreeing, and move forward together with the evolution of systems into ones driven/drivered by an ultra-meritocracy with elite leading executive players rather than supposing an ultra-democratic process will provide anything/everything better.
Methinks to imagine the latter trumping the former is wishful thinking and a recipe for disaster which aids and abets the stealthy inevitable rise of a considerably smarter ruling class of systems/machines/humans which be as a virtual machine infrastructure/alien society exoskeleton?
And please be advised that Deep and Dense/Intense and Tempestuous Cloud Cover brings more than just a Simply Complex AI and TitanICQ Rain Showers/SMARTR IntelAIgent Storms and as we all know, Cloud is a Fabless Virtual MetaDataBase Information Storage Environment which has zero physical form and is a Surreal Application for ProgramMING which can be phished and phormed to create the Future and Derivative Futures with Work, Rest and Play in a Great IntelAIgent Game Environment/Virtual Terrain Team Space.
Such Mind Infiltration Networking Gigs as are Source Feeder Programs and Projects for the likes of a DARPA and IARPA manifestation and which do present them with the odd problem or three or four or whatever to come to terms with, with a revision of previous control policy, with the following being a prime example? …..

INTELINK

Required modifications to the issuance of Remote Access credentials (user IDs and passwords) for access to the DNI-U/OSIS private network.

Intelink services are hosted on the DNI-U/OSIS private network. That network is accessible from approximately 75 connections in the U.S. and around the globe, to include the DoD NIPRNet, serving both U.S. Government entities as well as federally funded partners. Due to the level of controlled accessibility and requirements for validating access authorization, Intelink is compelled to modify its policy with respect to Remote Access accounts.

The responsibility and authority for vetting and validating system and network access authorization and the issuance of access credentials rests with the organization with which a user has a formal relationship as either an employee or contractor. The Intelink organization is not in a position to independently validate the identities and system access authorizations of individuals. As such, and consistent with access control requirements, whenever access to Intelink is available via controlled environments with connections to the DNI-U network, users will need to work with their employing organization to gain such access.

The Intelink Service Management Center understands that this may cause some confusion or inconvenience to individual users. However, we are required to make these changes to ensure compliance with the confidentiality and integrity requirements of the DNI-U information environment. …. http://ra.intelink.gov
