Buckminster Fuller was a genius!

I was recently having a shared knowledge session with Feral a.k.a Fred McShredstein, a conscious cosmic being with whom I spent 4 hours of a ping-pong thought session jiving on various topics ranging from the B. Caapi "vine of the soul" to music as the only true religion to the role and powers of the goddess (every woman). I met and departed from him in that one evening, and we both benefitted greatly from the random interaction. He mentioned this bloke Buckminster Fuller, said the cat had some pretty far out ideas and I should check him out. So I found this website which, in itself, is quite knowledge-filled to navigate through, but I had a brainswelling helluva time reading about Fuller's thoughts and works...please take a moment to enlighten yourself. I posed the question of "Why has it taken me 26 years to find out about this super genius?" who had Einstein come to him to discuss insight that Fuller had reached about the theory of relativity (E = MCsqueered). Below I have excerpted some of writings and ideas...feel free to click this link to the BFI.org website to delve even further into this mastermind's master mind - - - -> Who is Buckminster Fuller?

But evolution is apparently intent

that life in Universe

must survive.

It may be true

that our eyes are electromagnetic-wave transceiving relays.

Very little that men do consciously of all their functions renders their lives successful in the universe.

Ideas are easy to come by but reduction to practice is an arduous but inspirationally rewarding matter.

Bankers use people's credit when entrusted to them with no more moral equity than a storage warehouse proprietor has to use for himself the automobiles and furniture of people stored with him.

Teleology: the process of observing consciously, or absorbing subconsciously, from the outside inward so that one may do from the inside outward.

Ecology: the world-around complex intercomplementation of all the biological regenerative intercyclings with nature's geological and meteorological transformation recyclings.

Fuller coined the phrase "Spaceship Earth" for its metaphorical value in provoking thoughts about energy supply, maintenance requirements, and so on. He remarked that, unlike ordinary spaceships, Spaceship Earth is not supplied with an instruction manual, so that its operating principles have to be derived by generalization from experience.

The obstacles to such an energy-accounting system are principally the state and capitalism. If people are served directly and individually by daily cosmic-energy-wealth income, then the state will lose a major source of taxes with which to finance its bureaucracy.

****Money-makers cannot find a way of putting meters between people and the wind, Sun, waves, etc.*****

The metabolic flow that passes through a man is not the man. He is an abstract pattern integrity that is sustained through all his physical changes and processing, a knot through which pass the swift strands of concurrent ecological cycles - recycling transformations of solar energy.

All tools are externalizations of originally integral functions

Universe is the aggregate of all humanity's consciously apprehended and communicated, nonsimultaneous, and only partially overlapping experiences.

Universe is regarded as containing any amount of systems but as not constituting a system itself. The presence of systems in Universe is bound up with its dual nature. There are two components: the physical and the metaphysical.

All that is physical is energetic, and itself consists of two phases: energy associative as matter and energy dissociative as radiation. Each is convertible into the other according to the mass-energy equation E=mc2.

The metaphysical component is described as synergetic and as consisting also of two phases: subjective information acquisition by pure science exploration and objective information acquisition by applied science invention. It is in this realm of the metaphysical that reside all forms, patterns and principles which enable Universe to be subdivided into systems. In the absence of this non-physical component which serves to pattern the transformations of physical events, Universe would remain absolutely shapeless and chaotic.

Ten Proposals for Improving the World:

  1. Education Revolution: the highest priority of all
  2. Conversion of World Accounting Systems
  3. Elimination of Property by Making Ownership Onerous
  4. World Democracy by Electronic Referendum
  5. Elimination of All World Sovereignties
  6. Theoretical Exploration through World Game
  7. Realization of Design Science Competence
  8. Recognition of Humanity's Unique Functioning in Universe
  9. Identification of Mathematical Coordinate System of Universe
  10. Philosophical Realization that Physical is not Life
