  • Ep 211 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Class 12)
    Jan 28 2026
    Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Class 12)

    We examine the 1967 Outer Space Treaty as the "Magna Carta" of planetary peace, detailing its core articles and historical origins between the US, UK, and USSR. We also address the modern "scramble" for orbital space by private corporations and why the treaty must evolve to protect the night sky from satellite clutter and the digital colonization of the AI era.

    Homework:

    1. Interrupt your routineto look up a video of a "Starlink Satellite Train" or maybe you have seen one livepassing over the night sky. Notice how it changes your feeling of the "Understars."
    2. Write down one questionyou have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question."
    3. Optional:Journal about the "New Scramble." Whether it’s AI or satellites, how do we protect a "Common" when people are trying to move faster than the law?

    Learning topics: 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Articles I, II, & IV), The Province of All Mankind, Non-Appropriation, Orbital Debris and Satellites, The Scramble for AI/Data, Species-Level Restraint.

  • Ep 210 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - John F. Kennedy's American University Speech (Class 11)
    Jan 27 2026
    Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - JFK’s American University Speech (Class 11)

    We conduct a critical analysis of JFK’s 1963 "Strategy of Peace." While acknowledging its power in humanizing the Cold War "enemy" and breaking the Red Scare spell, we challenge Kennedy’s dismissal of "universal peace" as a fantasy. We explore why Peacewarts embraces the aspirational goal of absolute peace over mere mutual tolerance.

    Homework:

    1. Interrupt your routine to read the full text of the American University Speech. Find the "fantasies and fanatics" quote and sit with it.
    2. Write down one question you have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question."
    3. Optional:Journal about a "fantasy" you have for the world that others might call unrealistic. Why is that dream actually the most logical thing to want?

    Learning topics: JFK's American University Speech, Practical vs. Universal Peace, The Strategy of Peace, Breaking the Red Scare, Humanizing the Other, The Role of the Peace Scholar.

  • Ep 209 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - Watersheds vs. Nation-States (Class 10)
    Jan 26 2026

    Peacewarts: Dept. of Universal Understars - Watersheds vs. Nation-States (Class 10)

    We explore the concept of Bioregionalism and why natural topography—specifically watersheds—is a more logical and peaceful way to organize human society than abstract nation-states. We examine John Wesley Powell’s failed 1890 proposal and look at modern proponents of watershed-based boundaries who seek to align political logic with ecological reality.

    Homework:

    1. Interrupt your routine to find out the name of the watershed you currently live in.
    2. Write down one question you have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question."
    3. Optional: Journal about how your relationship with your "neighboring town" might change if you realized you both relied on the exact same underground aquifer.

    Learning topics: Watersheds, Bioregionalism, John Wesley Powell, Topography vs. Cartography, Modern Water-Sharing Movements, Ecological Sovereignty.
