We are currently seeing increased interest in re-integrating human effort back into the computational process, in a complimentary relationship with machines. Secrecy and Insurgency will be of interest to social and cultural anthropologists, human geographers, and those interested in Latin American studies, human rights, women's studies, and gender studies. All knowledge should hence be available to every single human being in the world and universe, not just in a sense of practical availability but also in a workable reflective format throughout living life, with support and guidance of the top intellectuals at any time. To put it differently, if you have no goals, you don't need knowledge (of any kind). Thus, knowledge acquisition and knowledge production is their priority; ensuring validity of knowledge and considering the rights and interests of the human subjects may be secondary.

Ginev, drawing largely on Habermas's early works such as Knowledge and Human Interests, says that this, too, fails to do justice to the dynamics of scientific research. Hollingworth notes: A lesson which many gifted persons never learn as long as they live is that human beings in general are inherently very different from themselves in thought, in action, in general intention, and in interests. You need knowledge only if you have goals.
