Buckminster Fuller was kicked out of college, and booted by Harvard not once, but twice. As a young man trying out jobs, he best liked working with his hands, and was more at home with mill workers, meat-packers and sailors, than professors.
Fuller’s most famous for his Geodesic Dome - think Disney’s Epcot Center. You could call him an inventor-philospher-engineer-architect-artist - but he was outside category, really - and he wanted to ‘do a lot with a little.' All to make the world a better place. The tape we found told us he also had his own deeper, more personal reasons for what he did.
Fuller spoke with Studs Terkel for Studs’ Chicago radio show twice. Once in studio in 1970, and the other five years earlier. That’s when he and Studs rode around in a station wagon through the rapidly gentrifiying neighborhood Lincoln Park - see if you can hear the hum of the moving car.
A conversation with Fuller was like running through a hedge maze - he spoke in fragments, these big ideas endlessly around the corner from others, warm and charismatic the whole way. Studs is firmly there, both holding the reigns and along for the ride - addressing him with all due respect. But as you’ll hear, Buckminster Fuller wasn’t too big on formalities.

Great concept putting real interviews with great animation - thank you for this! I was looking for something amazing to share on my blog/site about Bucky and found you. Thanks!!!!
I think one of my favorite things about this channel is how it's something of a repository for extinct American accents. We used to have a much greater variety of speakers
Thanks for this. I've always admired Bucky Fuller.
Thank you, blank on blank
+David Mikanda you are welcome
I love Fuller. Thank you for this video.
I like to think I choose sense... Honestly, what a refreshing outlook he had. :-D
My sister, Bernadette Vale went to SIUniversity when Bucky was an instructor there!
Did she take a class with him?
I love this guy! He gives me a warm feeling. He is food for the soul! I saw his exhibition at the old Whitney years ago.
Awesome work guys, great art and content!
Some suggestions for possible future works: Frank Zappa, Jacque Fresco, Alfred Korzybsky, Allan Watts... :)
We are currently restoring Buckminster Fuller's dome home in Carbondale Illinois. I'm posting a video every day.
That's awesome imma check out those vids
where do you post them?
Interesting to know the park he was talking about seeing a plane.
This is great content! Keep the series up!
Beautiful. This video is a blessing
love the animation!
How he felt about airplanes is similar to how I feel about touchscreens.
I had books, TV, and computers. Now toddlers have iPads.
The "Dome" that end scene was interesting
So what are the chances of an Alan Watts video at some point?
Fuck you. Bucky is king
I was going to ask the same thing.
The first line was a revelation. God damn.
Such interesting men and yet such a hollow conversation. So nostalgic.
Even as a native speaker, I feel that english subtitles would be extremely helpful in many of these videos.
+Markus Pfaff we have subtitle as an option. But you have to turn them on :)
Ah! Silly me. Thanks!
Oh and not to be a stickler or anything, but at 2:05 I am quite certain Bucky says "I'm either gonna say you go out to make money, or you're gonna make sense" (not cents). It's actually one of his more famous quotes (source: en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Buckminster_Fuller)
+Markus Pfaff yes. Of course. The nature of getting captions made. Thanks.
Awesome video. Thanks! Spanish subtitles done ;)
"When I was born, the aeroplane didn't exist"
Me: See's Electric car outside of window
I've got a chance now to look out for this new life. And I'm gonna have to rethink really everything I have. (…) And everybody will tell you you gonna make a living, which is an absolute blinding thing. I'm either gonna say "are you gonna make money" or "are you gonna make sense".
This basically sums up why I left medical school after 3.5 years.
Love Bucky ❤
📐 Thank You
It should be "You got to make money, or you got to make sense". The closed captions say "cents".
They're automatic, btw.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 as of when I'm commenting, they're not automatic, and do say "cents" instead of "sense".
"我必须重新组织人类的环境，这样才能使更多的人繁荣起来"。- 巴克敏斯特·富勒（Buckminster Fuller）在1965年对Studs Terkel说。
巴克敏斯特·富勒（Buckminster Fuller）被踢出了大学，被哈佛大学开除不是一次，而是两次。作为一个尝试工作的年轻人，他最喜欢用自己的双手工作，与工厂工人、肉类包装商和水手在一起，比与教授在一起更有感觉。
富勒最有名的是他的Geodesic Dome--想想迪斯尼的Epcot Center。你可以称他为发明家、哲学家、工程师、建筑师、艺术家--但他并不属于这一类，真的--他想"用少量的钱做大量的事"。都是为了让世界变得更美好。我们找到的录音带告诉我们，他做这些事情也有他自己更深层、更个人的原因。
富勒在芝加哥的广播节目中两次与Studs Terkel交谈。一次是在1970年的演播室，另一次是在五年前。那是他和Studs 坐着旅行车穿过迅速贫民化的街区林肯公园--看看你是否能听到移动的汽车的嗡嗡声。
与富勒的谈话就像在一个树篱迷宫中奔跑--他以片段的方式说话，这些大的想法无休止地在别人的角落里出现，一路走来都很热情，很有魅力。Studs 牢牢地在那里，既掌握着缰绳，又顺势而为--以应有的尊重来称呼他。但正如你将听到的，巴克敏斯特·富勒（Buckminster Fuller）并不太喜欢拘谨。
Great stuff - this video has really got me interested in this guy. Where should I start reading?
In the library, at the breakfast table, on the toilet. doesn't really matter

The final story Fuller tells about his grand daughter sums up his approach. He assumes that she didn't know what a farm animal was because she lived in the big city, so that's suddenly true for everybody. She hadn't seen a farm animal on television? Her parents had never taken her to a zoo or out in the country, which at that time wasn't so far away from NYC? Basing grand philosophies on personal experience is pretty egotistical, and generally wrong.
Poor Bucky he was so used by the establishment
"one of the original minds of our time" wtf does that mean?
That he was a man who thought in original and innovative ways.
Was he bipolar?
