Spaceship Earth

Let's have a look at life, humanity, and think about ourselves as being a part of the great march of humanity, right? The wonderful architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller had a magnificent expression.

He said, on spaceship Earth, there are no passengers, only crew.

So...

When we look at ourselves as a part of the great march of humanity, what we realize is that humanity, even though at times it doesn't look like it, but humanity is always moving forward.

We are the beneficiaries today of the creative genius of those who have gone before us.

We are the beneficiaries of those people who may not be the captain of that spaceship Earth, but have been valuable members of the crew.

So what I like to say is...

Your purpose is to always find ways to contribute to humanity, whatever

Oh, yeah.

Who came and he gave a lecture on Spaceship Earth.

And at that very early point in life, he gave me an idea of how tiny space tiny this little planet is.

And as far as we keep reaching out with the telescopes everywhere, billions of light years away, we haven't found anything.

What do you feel is the best way for this peace and security to be achieved?" "Well, through education, of course.

We are together on this Spaceship Earth, and we have to get along.

Through education, we are helping deliver the masses from their caveman, tribal mentality to understand that we are all the same and that if we all do our part for society, we will all prosper together." "Well, uh, that's interesting," I replied, "but we are not all the same.

It is also interesting that all the people down there are becoming even more divided and separated than ever.

Thank you for sticking around.

It's the only Three Lads podcast where each and every week, again, we look at what's important in this world on Spaceship Earth, the golden age of alternative music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

I'm Uncle Greg.

We got Brett Vargo and Wesley Stace.

Beneath all of our outward differences is something we share, the spirit that animates you, me, and every other person on the planet.

The Renaissance man, Buckminster Fuller, used the phrase Spaceship Earth to describe our planet as a spaceship with a shared crew, and that makes sense to me.

So if you try and blow up another passenger, we're all going down in flames.

This is my humble attempt to bring us back to the idea that we're all one and the same, just with a different name.

And, uh, in Lyndon Johnson's intentions, sending this image was an invitation to, uh, reconsider from this transformational perspective, uh, to reconsider our endeavors on the planet, uh, our divides and our challenges as a whole.

This is what, uh, Buckminster Fuller called, using a very beautiful metaphor, this is spaceship, spaceship Earth, uh, which is a very beautiful collective metaphor to make sense of what this image means.

And so all of this to say that, uh, as magician leaders, uh, we have to, um, basically to take ...

The goal is to take responsibility and to be able to think in a systemic way, which means being able to recognize that everything is connected with everything else.

It is the Only Three Lads podcast.

Each and every week we get together, talk about what's important here on Spaceship Earth, the golden age of alternative music from the '70s, the '80s, and '90s.

I'm Uncle Greg, of course.

We got Brett Vargo, the man, the myth, the rocktologist.

Yeah.

And as I say, in terms of Spaceship Earth, you know, the old question about what role do you play as a crew member of that spaceship? Back at the earlier part of this conversation, you talked about, you know, often being asked by clients, you know, tell us what's the next big thing.

It has to be the same thing asked to you and particularly about your new or impending newsletter.

Go on then, what's that going to be all about? And talk about the launch of that.
