Why "Whole Earth"?
This catalogue is inspired by Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog (1968)—a practical guide that helped people find tools for self-sufficiency. Same idea, different domain: these are tools for strategic thinking.
The approach draws on Charlie Munger's mental models philosophy: better decisions come from having many frameworks to draw on, not just one.
