Bucky had it right. "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

That's why we're awarding a $100,000 prize each year for comprehensive solutions that radically advance human well-being and ecosystem health. The 2008 prize will be conferred June 23rd in NYC.

The 2009 Challenge begins this fall. Stay tuned...

@gezbrady The believers always bring politics into it don't they friend? This has nothing to do with politics. It is about evolving past politics and profit.

One day, we will grow houses from seeds we place in the ground, that photosynthesize energy for our devices.....we live in a fantastical universe.

Can anyone tell me the original source of the audio at the start? "People would say to me, I wonder what it would be like to be a spaceship..."

I'm wondering what the actual original recording is. Thanks so much!
