It can only happen with 100% Transparency. Nothing can be behind closed doors, classified or need a FIOA, like, request, to access all transcripts of every email, phone call, meeting, study etc. Without us having an open dialog it would build into more of a dictatorship, like it has become today. Power corrupts.

"swarm" intelligence? I think we already have that and it's called "mobbing".

But surely that phrase means something less amenable to devolving into a situation in which waves of fast reaction sweep across the subset of "local, connected" individuals who are both proximal (local) and hooked up to each others' device content layers (connected)?

Connection happens at the speed of technology and I can't imagine a "swarm intelligence"'occurring in slower connected people, and it wouldn't be described as connected in the sense of being able to act at all swarmlike, either, not after we've experienced social media.

So how does it work? And how is it fail proofed?
