ROBERT STEELE: I am interested in hearing from anyone who wishes to share sources and perspectives relevant to the below planned work that has been commissioned for a 2016 publication. I am especially interested in having one or more major information technology companies in this space subsidize several months of research.
Title: “Augmented Human Intelligence with Man-Machine Integrity: Future-Oriented Hybrid Governance Integrating Holistic Analytics, True Cost Economics, and Open Source Everything Engineering”
Chapter in Daniel Araya (ed.), Augmented Intelligence: Smart Systems and the Future of Work and Learning, Bern, CH: Peter Lang Publishing, forthcoming
Effectively immediately Robert David Steele has a new personal site that will be — together with Open Source Everything 21 — the foundation for his work going forward on Open Source Everything Engineering and the Open Source (Technologies) Agency.
The information and intelligence (decision-support) domains have lost their way. Excessive and generally incoherent investments in information technology, including scattered attempts to achieve artificial intelligence, have resulted in the neglect of 99% of all relevant information, a failure to invest in information-sharing and sense-making tools, a failure to nurture human intelligence (HUMINT) networks, and a failure to capitalize on the radical (root) value represented by holistic analytics with embedded true cost economics. In passing, because of government corruption enabling predatory industrial practices, we have also neglected open source everything engineering without which we cannot achieve truly smart cities or smart nations or a prosperous world that works for all. A Global Brain that more ably melds human and artificial intelligence is a potential advance enabling the technological shaping of our future, and positive social change. The four approaches to creating a Global Brain include organicism, encyclopedism, emergentism, and evolutionary cybernetics. The limitations of computer processing and scientific reductionism are briefly reviewed in order to reject organicism and encyclopedism as primary approaches. A way forward is outlined that restores the centrality of the human factor in accelerating emergentism and evolutionary cybernetics. An Open Source (Technologies) Agency is proposed as a platform for blending artificial intelligence with human intelligence in full transparency – a Global Brain / World Brain network and tool-kit that connects all minds to all information in all languages all the time.
QUESTION: I just read online about your presidential candidacy and would like to know your position on how to handle the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
Trump may self-destruct but he has the power to change everything. The article discusses seven specific things Trump could do that would enable the election of an honest effective Independent government in 2016 .
It breaks my heart to watch all things cyber continue along very corrupt paths associated with a melange of linear thinking, bureaucratic inertia, truly evil covert operations that undermine cyber-security, and of course the persistent lack of accountability.

It was my great privilege to be among the first to sound the alarm on cyber-security, joining with Winn Schwartau in sponsoring the Information Warfare Conference. Although I left that endeavor to focus on Open Source Solutions, Winn and I continue to marvel at how little everyone has learned.
