About

Earth Intelligence Network (EIN) was founded by Robert David Steele in 2006.  24 volunteers came together for one year to design an architecture for a World Brain and a Global Game.  The two key documents are below, followed by a copy of our IRS letter.

The logo consists of the Whole Earth within a Rescue Cross, with four symbols: the bowl for food and water; the quill pen for education and communication; the shovel for construction and development; and the stilleto for the inevitable rogues that need to be killed one at a time.  On a white field are found the legal name of the non-profit, and our public purpose: to enable hybrid governance (informed consensus governance across the eight tribes shown as tri-graph color-coded members of any decision-making circle with integrity) with transparency, truth, and trust.

The outermost border summarizes our two innovative methods for which we are the foremost proponents in the world: Open Source Everything (the only technical solution that is affordable, inter-operable, and scalable) and Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Shaaring and Sense-Making (M4IS2, the only human solution that assures holistic analytics and a grasp of true cost economics).

Our mind-set is deeply rooted in Ecological Economics as pioneered by Dr. Herman Daly and subsequently described in books by the titles of Ecology of Commerce and Natural Capitalism.  We believe that the Earth is amply sufficient to provide every human now living with a life that is both prosperous and secure — where we have gone wrong is in allowing a select few to internalize profit and externalize cost.

Here is our “method” graphic. We consider education, intelligence (decision-support), and research to be part of a whole system that cannot be fragmented without devolving into idiocy across all major domains (political-military, socio-economic, ideo-cultural, techno-demographic, and natural-geographic).

Government — in isolation from the other seven tribes shown in the EIN logo — has failed.  We must move to hybrid transparent governance, leverging a combination of collective intelligence and true cost economics, to achieve whole systems understanding through holistic analytics.

This is our short story: 2014 Story Board Short

And here is our longer story: 1957-2013 Story Board Long

Our meme is “the truth at any cost lowers all other costs.”

WE SEEK UNIVERSITIES THAT MIGHT WISH TO CONSIDER

A top 10 in the world is achievable by becoming the first to offer an AB/BS path toward MA/MS and PhD/DBA in Stewardship, with three tracks:

  • Holistic Analytics
  • True Cost Economics
  • Open Source Everything Engineering

Liberal Arts has  lost its integrity (and never really respected Ancient, Eastern, Alien, or Alternative (e.g. Medicine) pillars.  My concept is the integral systems alternative more suited to the 21st century — and explicitly relevant to creating a post-Western economy with zero waste that achieves the 17 sustainable development goals within a quarter century.  My two briefings below may be a good starting point.  Become the first in the world that teaches Stewardship and modifies the concept of CEO to one of Chief Enabling Officer — its all about connecting the dots, not hoarding information or seeking competitive advantage that is ephemeral.

UPDATE:

While creating a global open source everything network — a world brain that cannot be censored or manipulated, where individuals cannot be digitally assassinated — remains our primary interest, we now have two supporting projects: #UNRIG (election reform), and support to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Human Trafficking and Child Sex Abuse.

The three are related. It is now legal for the US Government to lie to the public and to claim the right to lie in court “when necessary for national security.” Election Reform is the only way to overturn that inherent obstruction of justice and death blow to democracy. Pedophilia — including murderous pedophilia — is both the glue that holds the Deep State together, and its Achilles heel. Once  the public realizes what governments turning a blind eye have allowed against our children, a revolution can be expected.

What We Do…

This is the Gold Seal of Transparency as earned by our fully compliant membership and transparent records and responses at Guidestar.org.

Earth Intelligence Network is a non-profit educational corporation that seeks to teach individuals and organizations how to use holistic analytics, true cost economics, and if desired, open source everything engineering, to create open ethical intelligence (decision support) in support of strategic, operational, tactical, and technical decisions, courses of action, and investments. Our intent is to teach, not do, but we are happy to help donors with direct support if asked to do so.

EIN has no employees. Robert David STEELE Vivas serves as the pro bono CEO and organizer. Donations support the maintenance of Phi Beta Iota Public Intelligence Blog with over 80 contributors, over 25,000 posts, and over 4 million views — subscription is free, there are over 16,000 subscribers today.

We welcome inquiries about our educational consulting and services. Since our founder started the modern Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) movement and is more recently the proponent for Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE), our approach to any opportunity is rooted in finding exactly the right people to do exactly the right thing on a just in time basis. Unlike for profit firms, we have zero investment in advertising, marketing, sales, or employees as a fixed cost that is passed on to clients.
