Trimtab Space Camp explores the following perennial questions that provoke ongoing life-long study. Each is inspired by an element of Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science (CADS).
- COMPREHENSIVE: How big can we think?
- ANTICIPATORY: How many possible futures can we imagine?
- DESIGN: What can we learn from nature’s genius?
- SCIENCE: How do we know what we know?
These learning objectives are inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s life and philosophy, summed up in his worldview, encapsulated by CADS.
The experience is centered around modules that each present a different framework to help you see the world and our future from a whole-systems vantage point.
These new mental models and tools will help you see a Fuller picture of the world and our collective future.
Coronation with Charles Eisenstein
“In my initial Covid essay, “The Coronation,” I described the pandemic as an initiation: an interruption in normality that would reveal what lurked hidden within and among us, that would face us with new choices and demand of us new capacities. A coronation, I said, is an initiation into sovereignty, where heretofore unconscious choices become conscious. Covid shone a light onto where we have been headed: an alienated, locked down, technologically mediated, ideologically polarized, authoritarian, medicalized world under ever-intensifying control. These trends did not all of a sudden start in 2020. Now that we have seen clearly our destination, it is no longer inevitable. We can choose another based on what we hold sacred.” Quoted from charleseisenstein.org/books/the-coronation
