Ep 203 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Earth as a Closed System (Class 4)

Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Earth as a Closed System (Class 4) We move from the philosophy of the "High View" into the engineering of Spaceship Earth. We explore Buckminster Fuller’s concept of the planet as a closed system where "there is no away." We also examine the 1963 document Pacem in Terris as a moral blueprint for a single human family sharing a limited life-support system. Homework: Interrupt your routineto look up the term "Closed Ecological System" and read about how resources are recycled on the International Space Station. Write down one questionyou have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question." Optional:Journal about the phrase "There is no away." How does that change the way you think about a conflict on the other side of the world? Learning topics: Buckminster Fuller, Spaceship Earth, Closed Systems, 1963 Pacem in Terris, Resource Management, Global Ethics.
