Well, TM is a free market intel sharing venue! Our work would be enhanced with just a bit of secret government info, though, wouldn't it? We strive to connect everything, not just the dots, imagine if we had some real advance intel mixed in on a regular basis.
What you said made me think of the John Poindexter debacle and how the terror futures market game might have been a good idea. I hated it when it was first proposed, but I never ever wanted to see Poindexter fired. I was wrong on both counts: I think it would have been a valuable prediction tool in retrospect AND they fired him. Unbelievable. Who gets fired over one provocative and controversial proposal anyway?
BTW, word is -- and I bet you know -- that, overall, much is the same as far as the alphabets' intelligence sharing. Sadly. Can't seem to extract all the ego from humans ever.
