bucky



i had a bit of a look into buckminster fuller, and found his biography quite interesting. most interestingly, ifound his invention - 'the world game'. its basically a game where people propose strategies to make humanity enduringly successful. by this he means finding solutions to poverty, hunger, energy etc.
i think this is an important inclusion in the corporation game because it is an example of a game and also solving a tough problem. it could also be a stage to demonstrate enlightened and free thinking.
i'm writing the summary of what could be improved about the course, and i think that if i'd know about the world game on that day i would have suggested that it should be included in the program.

i thought we could alos have a day at the start of next year which would bring the whole community together. we could throw welly, drink eat - but the central activity would be to build a geodesic dome. seeing as soumitri has experience in this field then perhaps we could ask for his hel. its just an idea that i'm throwing out there.
