 Interview with Medard Gabel: H.G. Wells said that humanity is in a race between education and catastrophe. Buckminster Fuller said that the greatest challenge facing Humanity is how to get most people in the know about the planet, its resources and problems, in a short a period of time as possible. The World Game is a tool to help us win the race against catastrophe, and to get the most people on the planet in the know about the world, its problems, its resources, and how they can effectively participate in solving the world's problems. The World Game educates people about the world in a way that is unique and enjoyable. It gives people an experience of what the world is all about, the way an astronaut experiences the world. It gives us a global overview of the planet, through an educational workshop that takes place on a giant map of the planet. Over 100,000 people in 48 states and about 35 countries around the planet have taken part in the World Game. We've been doing it for over twenty years now. It's a very effective, powerful tool to help people learn - in a very experiential, enjoyable way - a huge amount about the planet and its problems, in a short period of time. That's what the World Game is all about. It's purpose is to give people not just the experience and the information and a global perspective, but to help us all participate in developing solutions to the world's problems. World Game's mission is to provide the perspective and the information needed by global society to solve the united problems that we all face as we move into the 21st. Century. The whole perspective issue is much more important than just the information. If we're tackling the wrong problem, if we don't have a global perspective, we could spend all our lives trying to solve the wrong problem. (11/26/03)
