I've been thinking about Buckminster Fuller who a long time ago who I met when I was a student at MIT and he wrote a book called Spaceship Earth a long long time ago I think in the 60s no one thought about that but you know it might have even been before we went to the moon and looked back and took the photograph of earth sitting in the blackness of space all when it's beautiful planet but we don't have a planet you know if we screw this one up and we're screwing it up because of how clever we are as human beings how industrious and how much we can heat the atmosphere and then Brazil is burning the rainforest on purpose I mean for you know sort of its own capitalist purposes which are understandable and it's like hey you want to like destroy your lungs the planets lungs so if it's true that we are on one this spaceship earth of Buckminster Fuller then maybe you know in an emergency of this magnitude we need all hands on deck all hands on deck not republicans or democrats or Americans or you know sort of anybody else but all humans need to in some sense wake up to that name we gave ourselves as a species homo sapiens sapiens which means basically the species that is aware and is aware that it is aware that gives us this kind of freedom to heal this freedom to realize what we need to do and let the doing come out of wisdom out of a kind of being that is part of our nature so that's the way I talk about it and I agree with you that it's really important
