Sure, I like the last part of your thinking, and it's true we are obviously destructive by nature, My own effort in Medium, is to try to help open our eyes to the immediate existential threat that using extracted energy now poses, and the only way out - move entirely to solar, before its too late, but it requires a change in what motivates people, as well as a physical change in the way we issue money, beyond profit - no small hurdle.
But do you really think the NSA, or any other government organisation is pro peace? Just look at the disinformation being spread about the wars fought previously and the potentially nuclear one underway right now.
It isn't about protecting the public, it's about power, for them - profit, not the public.
The best judge of what is best for the public, is the public.
Any and all information should be made public, imho.
Information withholding is for profit, always, no exceptions. Every secret organisation that ever existed is for profit, nothing more, nothing less, imho, based on the stakeholder analysis, of the energy and economic system of humanity.
I have no doubt NSA will be involved in Avi's work, but also no doubt he will have no choice in that.
Does it occur to you that there would be no motivations for secrecy in a solar powered world? All of those organisations - everything for profit, would be redundant, we would quickly see it for what it is, a useless waste of energy, entirely dependent on energy from extracted sources, as is all profit.
We might have had the chance to move to this, a hundred and twenty years ago, but the banks, who stopped it then by defunding Nikola Tesla, don't want you to know this, hence their secrecy, and the secrecy enforced on Tesla for the remainder of his life afterwards.
We could have been interplanetary, and a multi extraterrestrial, almost immortal species by now, instead of having multiple wars, nuclear weapons, and ultimately nuclear war.
The only way we will avoid that, is to open our eyes to the noose around our neck as a species, and actually the neck of all life on Earth, which we are ever tightening, by continued use of extracted energy, by all things for profit.
