We need these educators, our 'conduits of information between generations', to be more vigilant in checking the source of the data they teach and to also encourage open debate and sourcing of data.
If those involved in the creation of information at our institutions, and those empowered to impart that information all step up to the plate and wrest control back from the cold corporate world then perhaps the public can once again get good value for their dollar.
The Internet can be an important tool in this regaining of control.
Keeping and Improving Open Access of Data Online
In order to arm the educators with methods to check sources and possible conflicts we must demand an open process. There is this mis-guided notion that the collective intellect of the human race is incapable of discerning fact from fiction when it comes to data outside the day-to-day realm of an individual's experience. The truth is, that by applying this collective online intelligence we can have that plumber with the aptitude of a physicist now able to contribute to the accuracy and cleansing of the global databank of knowledge.
Because he has been a plumber he has a view or perspective that is less cluttered or biased while reviewing this scientific data.
In many cases we are now exposing the flawed, intentionally designed research from which important decisions are being made for what it is...corrupt, globally destructive, species threatening, restrictive in genetic diversity and perilously consumption driven. Some groups have begun to demand to know the source, design and intent of research.
A proclamation that data be allowed to flow freely into the public domain is our moral and ethical right. In fact it is now beyond a right...it is a must. True whistle blowers must be encouraged and protected with all of our might and will. They will be the cornerstones of abating the restriction and ownership of data which could affect the future of the world.
By putting all data in the public realm for this giant screening process it may just allow humans to avoid self destruction.
The Internet could be the bright light in the path toward this process and we must not allow it to be constrained by neither limiting access nor withholding information.
