World Game: Men Landing on Moon:
"Well, I might just also say that at the same time we were playing the world game was the first time that a man landed on the Moon. And I don’t think it’s coincidental. I mean I think that the consciousness of the world manifests itself in several different ways, and I think it was just absolutely vital that we were playing world game at the same time, and we could get the idea that there was a man, one of us, standing on the Moon looking back and seeing the whole Earth for the first time. It’s really quite astonishing that we’ve never been able to see the whole Earth before, and we’ve never been able to play, not as politicians, but as world men.
“So I think the basic assumption that there are going to be political problems that will exist for a long time, but now for the first time we can really see the whole Earth, we can begin to work with the whole Earth in mind. . . There’s been an enormous amount of attention paid to politics, and not much attention paid to understanding the whole of the world at one time.”
