Medard Gabel, #2 to Buckminster Fuller in creating the analog World Game, is the creator of the EarthGame, trademarked in his name and the foundation for the Earth Intelligence Network vision of creating a World Brain that allows for 24/7 panarshy–all minds, all information, all the time.  Visit Medard at his logo on the left.  Read his high-level summary of how inexpensively he can create the EarthGame at Frog right.

This was inspired by Harold Wilenski's book, Organizational Intelligence (Knowledge and Policy in Government and Industry), and Robert Steele's growing awareness that what passes for “Knowledge Management” is nothing more than internal data mining.  Augmented by an understanding of collaboration networks and by the growing but still immature field of commercial intelligence, the chart took shape rather quickly.

Not anticipated, but now consistent with both the strategic direction of the Earth Intelligence Network, and the reality of how cell phones rather than laptops are the device of choice for the poor, was the seminal role of the cell phone as the device of choice for achieving organizational intelligence.

It can be useful placed side by side with Nova Spivak's Meta-Web illustration to see a convergence of the technical-centered (Spivak) and the human-centered (Steele).

This is the original implementation vision graphic for the Earth Intelligence Network (EIN), such that needs at the individual and household level can be “called in” via Rapid SMS with geospatial coordinates, then clustered, then acted upon by individual or combinations of individual or organizational donors.

We can do this today, all we lack is leadership.

This is a very straight-forward matrix that is not in use by any intelligence community we know of, and that would be incomprehensive to any policy maker for the simple reason that they do not think in holistic terms–they are all stove-piped by issue and blind-folded by time and place.

Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor of Singapore, has it right: the family is the core foundation for national and cultural power over time, and the USA has trashed the family with virtually every single policy at every level in the past fifty years.

Energy and Immigration bracket the family, and we use them to illustrate how other policies impact.  Bad energy policy and bad immigration policy destroys neighborhoods, jobs, and local tax bases that fund education.  It is all connected and no one in Washington is paying attention to the destruction of the family.
