<< Cultural Intelligence to the World >>

World-Information.Org is a trans-national cultural intelligence provider: 
a collaborative effort of cultural workers, artists, scientists and
technicians. 

Cultural intelligence gathers, evaluates and processes meta-information:
information
about the foundations of Information Society. This includes clear analysis
and
investigation of its societal, cultural, economic and political potentials
and dangers. 

Cultural intelligence acts as a balance to traditional military or economic
intelligence
services that gather information to increase control, and serves the public
interest
through citizen's empowerment and independence. As accurate information is
essential to optimal decisions, cultural intelligence services compensate
the
public's lack of meta-information as socio-political and cultural foundation
for
decision-making. 

To meet the public's need for high quality and accessible cultural
information and
content, cultural intelligence provides information on developments and
probable
courses of action in the infosphere. In the tradition of the Enlightenment,
cultural
intelligence is an advocate of citizen's rights of cultural freedom, freedom
of opinion
and expression, communication and privacy. 

The services provided are designed to foster and protect the public sphere
and
discourse as well as the variety and richness of cultural expressions in a
society
increasingly determined by information and communication technologies. 

By observing and analyzing enlightening cultural, socio-political,
technological and
economical trends, culture intelligence counters indoctrination and
propaganda.
