Title: We are as gods and might as well get good at it.

We are as gods and might as well get good at it. So far, remotely done power and glory—as via government, big business, formal education, church—has succeeded to the point where gross defects obscure actual gains. In response to this dilemma and to these gains a realm of intimate, personal power is developing—power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment, and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG.

My mom had one of those. You could order a plaster cast of Jimi Hendrix's penis.

I remember reading through my dad's as a kid.  It was a bunch of weird stuff that seemed like nonsense.  Apparently it was like a paper version of Google, though.

Cool! I heard of those some months ago but could not find anywhere.

I would be glad if one could ship a well preserved sample to me
