Stewart Brand is an American writer best known as the editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He founded several organizations, including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation. He is the author of several books, most recently Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
Brand was born in Rockford, Illinois, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He studied biology at Stanford University, graduating in 1960. As a soldier in the U.S. Army, he was a parachutist and taught infantry skills; he later expressed that his military experience had fostered his competence in organizing. A civilian again in 1962, he studied design at San Francisco Art Institute, photography at San Francisco State College, and participated in a legitimate scientific study of then-legal LSD in Menlo Park, California. In 1966, he married mathematician Lois Jennings, an Ottawa Native American.
Brand has lived in California since the 1960s. He and his second wife live on Mirene, a 64-foot (20 m)-long working tugboat. Built-in 1912, the boat is moored in a former shipyard in Sausalito, California. In addition, he works in Mary Heartline, a grounded fishing boat about 100 yards (90 meters) away. One of his favorite items is a table on which Otis Redding is said to have written "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." (Brand acquired it from an antique dealer in Sausalito.)
By the mid-1960s, Brand became associated with New York multimedia group USCO and Bay Area author Ken Kesey and his "Merry Pranksters." Brand co-produced the Trips Festival, an early effort involving rock music and light shows, in San Francisco with Kesey and Ramón Sender Barayón. This was one of the first venues at which the Grateful Dead performed in San Francisco. About 10,000 hippies attended, and Haight-Ashbury soon emerged as a community. Tom Wolfe describes Brand in his 1968 book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
The Whole Earth Catalog implied an ideal of human progress that depended on decentralized, personal, and liberating technological development—so‑called "soft technology." However, in 2005 he criticized aspects of the international environmental ideology he had helped to develop. He wrote an article called "Environmental Heresies" in the May 2005 issue of the MIT Technology Review, in which he describes what he considers necessary changes to environmentalism. He suggested, among other things, that environmentalists embrace nuclear power and genetically modified organisms as technologies with more promise than risk.
Brand later developed these ideas into a book and published the Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto in 2009. The book examines how urbanization, nuclear power, genetic engineering, geoengineering, and wildlife restoration can be powerful tools in humanity's ongoing fight against global warming. In a 2019 interview, Brand described his perspective as "post-libertarian," indicating that when the Whole Earth Catalog was being written, he did not fully understand the significance of the government's role in developing technology and engineering. In his environmental position, he self-describes as an "Eco-pragmatist."

Mahatma Gandhi, also known as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was a political and spiritual leader of India who was the primary leader of India's non-violent, non-cooperative independence movement against British colonial rule. He was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, a coastal town in present-day Gujarat, India.
Gandhi was educated in Britain, where he studied law and became a barrister. After returning to India, he struggled to establish a successful law practice but eventually found work with an Indian firm in South Africa. It was during his time in South Africa that Gandhi first began to develop his philosophy of non-violent resistance, which would later become the cornerstone of his political and spiritual beliefs.
In 1915, Gandhi returned to India and quickly became involved in the Indian independence movement. He led nationwide campaigns for various social causes and for achieving Swaraj or self-rule. He became a major leader of the Indian National Congress and was at the forefront of the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Salt Satyagraha. He was arrested many times by the British government for his activities and spent a total of over 7 years in prison.
Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence and civil disobedience was deeply influenced by his Hindu and Jain spiritual beliefs, as well as the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, and other religious figures. He believed that non-violence was the only way to achieve political and social change, and he encouraged his followers to use non-violent means to resist British rule. He also advocated for the abolition of caste discrimination, the upliftment of the untouchables, the promotion of Hindu-Muslim unity, and the end of poverty.
Gandhi's philosophy and tactics of non-violence and civil disobedience had a profound impact on the Indian independence movement and on the world at large. His ideas influenced leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, and his legacy continues to inspire people around the world to this day. He was assassinated on January 30, 1948, by a Hindu nationalist who opposed his policies of non-violence and religious tolerance.
In India, Gandhi is widely considered to be the Father of the Nation, and his birthday, October 2nd, is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday. He is also remembered and celebrated globally as an icon of non-violent resistance and civil rights. His teachings and life philosophy still continue to inspire many people around the world to fight for their rights and freedom peacefully.
In addition to his political activities, Gandhi was also a writer and journalist. He wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, social issues, and his own personal thoughts and experiences. He wrote several books, including "An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth" and "Hind Swaraj," which is considered a classic of Indian political thought. He also edited several newspapers, including "Young India" and "Harijan." Through his writing, Gandhi was able to reach a wide audience and spread his message of non-violence, civil disobedience, and social reform.
Gandhi's life and work were not without controversy. While many people admired him and followed his philosophy, others criticized him for being too moderate and for not doing enough to end British rule. He also faced criticism from some members of India's Muslim community for not doing more to protect their rights and interests. In addition, his stance on caste and his criticism of traditional Hindu practices such as Untouchability also faced criticism from some sections of society.
Despite this, Gandhi's legacy continues to inspire people around the world. He is remembered for his commitment to non-violence, his belief in the power of ordinary people to bring about change, and his willingness to stand up for what he believed in, even in the face of adversity. His ideas and tactics have been used in civil rights and freedom movements around the world, and his life and work continue to be studied and admired by people of all ages and backgrounds.
