One of the things I observe on remarkable people like Buckminster Fuller ( Bucky ) is that they influence people with their ideas. Their ideas can through time lag become artifacts ( products ), services or improved versions of the ideas.
Bucky have inspired Stewart Brand to create the Whole Earth Catalog ( WEC ). It is a catalog of learning resources for an individual to take his own initiate to do his own learning. I recently watched a video ( 1hr 46 mins ) on the legacy of the Whole Earth Catalog.
What I found interesting in the video:
- The impact of the WEC is that it created a culture of learning through making.
- The WEC change Kevin Kelly's life as he realize that he did not need to go to collage after reading the catalog.
- Stewart Brand was inspired by Bucky to create WEC as a tool to enable people to create change.
What did you found interesting in the video?
