Buckminster Fuller - Everything I know

This dude might blow your mind... A genius philosopher, engineer and inventor; Bucky Fuller sought to understand and teach as much as possible. In 1975 Bucky gave a lecture that lasted 42 hours. It was Called "Everything I know". In this lecture he discusses the origins of life on earth, geometry, religion, power and ultimately human evolution. It's a fascinating listen to be sure. At any rate, listen to the first one or two volumes at least. You will not be sorry. The videos of the first half of the lecture are embedded below and there are links to all of them on open culture as well as a link to the Buckminster Fuller Institute where you can get more information and transcripts of these talks and others. enjoy.
 

John Taylor Gatto on Education/Schooling/Control/Self Determination

I don't remember how I found out about John Taylor Gatto, but after initially seeing this series of videos I've ended up watching them all a few times over. There's an introduction to who the man is in the first 17 minutes of the first video; after that it's a long interview/lecture about the history of the school system, the founding of our society as we know it and a few strategies to break oneself or at least one's children out of this cycle of premeditated, conditioned self destruction. Heavy shit, yes- but worth listening to and understanding. enjoy.
