Yes, it’s the title of my blog, too. Some of my readers may have wondered what that’s all about.
The idea originated with R. Buckminster Fuller, and you can read more about the concept at the Buckminster Fuller Institute.
TL;DR – Fuller’s concept for humanity, summarized as follows:
“Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”
In 1983, John Denver released “World Game,” a moving song echoing the same concept:
The lyrics:
World Game
John Denver
I want to play in the World Game
I want to make it better it’s ever been before
I want to play in the World Game
I want to make sure everybody knows the score
About using less, doing so much more
Everywhere I’m going I see trouble
Everywhere I’m looking I see all kinds of pain
Maybe we can get back on the double
Maybe we can turn around and make it all change
They say it’s you against your neighbor
If it gets right down to it, you against your friend
I swear that this is not the answer
As far as I can see it is the way it all ends
I want to play in the World Game
I want to make it better it’s ever been before
I want to play in the World Game
I want to make sure everybody knows the score
About using less, doing so much more
Hey man,…
This is the game. This is the reason for this collection of thoughts. To help build Dr. Fuller’s world that works for all of us.
The Old Wolf has spoken.
