world game

the world game was proposed by buckminster fuller in the 1960s, aiming to:

"make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."

more recently (and assertively, i'd say), the buckminster fuller institute has been using as their main goal and orientation, simply:

"to make the world work for all of life, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation."

the latest version of the game is currently being stewarded by the schumacher center for a new economics.

the game was developed as both a standalone workshop (finite game, magic circle, a "play session") and an infinite game towards that objective, making it something extended and continually fed/played/integrated into people's lives via what they were developing as the os.earth.
