Here is Sebastian Fernandez-Mulligan on Stewart Brand and John Brockman. This still resonates:

Brockman’s vision for the Third Culture was not the disenchanted science of suburban laboratories and professionalized research. He wanted a return to exploration, a romantic search for the foundations of the universe […] This was to be a search for natural knowledge as a way to understand ourselves. Perhaps even a way to look at the disenchanted world and find a spark of meaning. Such a vision was not only about the excitement of discovery; it was also a call for synthesis.

Here are my posts on Brockman’s website Edge.org, Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog, and his Long Now Foundation.
