>> Cultural Intelligence

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 citizens empowerment and independence. As accurate information
is essential to optimal decisions, cultural intelligence services compensate the
publics lack of meta-information as socio-political and cultural foundation for
decision-making.
To meet the publics 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 citizens 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.
