false 2887359 1 2008 marks the end of the Weberian era of bureaucracy and pyramidal organizations able to rule by secrecy, scarcity, and a monopoly on the sources and methods of producing actionalbe decision support, or "intelligence." The era of collective intelligence has begun in earnest. While others have written about the wisdom of the crowds, an army of Davids, and smart mobs, this collection of essays, for the first time, brings together the fifty-five pioneers in the emerging cognitive science discipline of "collective intelligence." Collective intelligence is one of six aspects of Public Intelligence. The others are peace intelligence, commercial intelligence, gift or charitable giving intelligence, cultural intelligence, and Earth intelligence. They are all charactized by a rejection of the past: top-down elite decision-making based on secrets with a short-term emphasis on enriching the few at the expense of the man y, and doing so unilaterally. Epoch B "swarm leadership," in contrast, is multicultural, bottom-up consensus, founded strictly on legal, ethical open sources and methods, and very much focused on the long term or the "seventh generation" as were the Native Americans. The era of digital deliberative democracy and self-governance has begun. The era of secret earmarks, corruption, and institutionalized fraud, waste, and abuse is drawing to an end. At the intersection of these two era is the new-found ability to establish the "true costs" of any product or service that are being externalized to future generations--Exxon did not make $40 billion in "profit." They simply pawned $40 billion in "costs" over to the public, and kept the cash. Buy and read this book to become an "intelligence minuteman" and join a growing army of citizens who wish to create, share, and act upoin public intelligence in the public interest. 2913607 19 3 2008 Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace 0 0 15 1 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sun Nov 30 08:02:33 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 08:05:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sat Nov 28 04:12:07 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 04:12:07 -0800 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sat Oct 10 10:24:04 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 10:24:07 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sat Aug 29 13:28:42 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 13:28:42 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Thu Aug 27 02:50:19 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 02:50:19 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sat Aug 22 10:24:20 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:24:20 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sun Jul 26 22:04:24 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 22:04:24 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Tue May 12 09:12:14 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 09:12:14 -0700 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Mon Mar 09 22:32:25 -0700 2009 Sun Dec 06 18:23:30 -0800 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Fri Feb 20 00:52:04 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 00:52:04 -0800 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Thu Feb 12 09:54:17 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 09:54:31 -0800 2009 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sat Nov 22 13:12:04 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 13:12:04 -0800 2008 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Fri Jul 04 12:52:46 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 12:53:10 -0700 2008 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Tue Jun 17 07:15:05 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 16:44:28 -0700 2008 2887359 097156616X 9780971566163 0 1 0.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2887359.Collective_Intelligence_Creating_a_Prosperous_World_at_Peace 0 0 false Sun Mar 30 09:38:29 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 09:38:29 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2887359
