General Stanley McChrystal (ret), in a TED talk, makes a brief but cogent military case for sharing knowledge. Of course there are a million ramifications and complexities -- it is a complex world and our Protector Caste has genuine needs for tactical (short term) secrecy. But needs become excuses for bad habits that are self-defeating … and that could ultimately lead to Big Brother. There must be an ultimate trend toward an open world, and Gen. McChrystal makes about as strong a cue as you could in a ten minute TED. I am more scared of the bureaucrat that holds information in a desk drawer or in a safe than of someone who leaks, because ultimately well be better off if we share.
