Ep 200 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Humility of the High View (Class 1)

Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Humility of the High View (Class 1) Episode Summary: We launch our first formal class of the semester by entering the Tower. We establish the vision of the "High View" and the "Stars-eye view" before examining the work of Jonathan Schell and Linus Pauling. We explore why the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty was a scientific necessity and introduce our shared commitment to the "Homework Pact." Homework: Interrupt your routine to look up one thing about Linus Pauling’s 1958 petition to the UN. Write down one question you have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question." Optional: Journal about the space between what we are told is "necessary" and what we actually want for our children. Learning topics: Jonathan Schell, Linus Pauling, 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty, The Overview Effect, Stars-eye View, Scientific Activism.
