Abundance is GOD's true intention for our world. I love you for what you are, I'm so glad to have found this man, I feel so connected to this man's mindset.
I love that line, "the old idea that the strong survive at the expense of the weak is really based on a false perception of man's true relation to the natural universe."
I saw Mr. Fuller at The University of Western Ontario in Canada in the àutumn of 1969. He gave a great talk with no notes at all! He used a free metal rods and triangles as props. His ideas are beautiful, elegant, and effective!
“Im absolutely convinced I have no faculties that others do not have. I think there are special circumstances and that there are balancing strategies that occur.”
Beautiful human being. I wonder if he was ever exposed to Eastern nondual thought (Adventa Vedanta or Taoism). If he were reincarnated before becoming Buckminster, I'm sure he came from the east as a highly evolved being. It seems his knowledge comes from some place even beyond his memories and frameworks from this life.
“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” - R.B.F
To be on a deadline is to invite cutting corners. I believe we (human race) are at a state of relative peace but we must not become lazy. R.B.F. seems to have a Puritan Work Ethic about him, but I think it is just that he really cares about the human race. Eventually, the sun will explode. It is our duty, as a species, to solve this problem. We must not become lazy. I urge everyone to try and make this world a better place. Personally, I am working on ways to simulate an alternate reality in a computer. i believe we are in a computer simulation but that is no excuse to not do science and mathematics. By all means, get curious! Don't be afraid to show compassion for your fellows!
Tyler Durden, I absolutely agree with you! But how do you propose we do this? Think of all the great people (inventers, scientist, naturalists and the like) who have suffered through this world but left us with great insight into how the natural world works. So many of them were treated bad by society and even died poor because they did put the betterment of humanity before money! It is obviously not easy for man to survive in nature, but today we have the technology and tools to make it so we can not only survive but thrive to the point that our minds can be free to think and find something worth doing in this world instead of being a slave living paycheck to paycheck freaking out about what our financial future is going to be like. If we only applied a fraction of what these men and women have taught us, the world would have all the energy and food that it needs to survive and thrive and the individual could live with dignity. I tell you it is a disgrace of what humanity has done to the individual free thinkers and the natural wild life that shares this planet with us. Most jobs that people do are actually useless and even hurt our environment. People are so afraid to think and live for themselves that they would rather be a slave to another man!
Matt Bruce you are in a capitalistic system. No one reforms systems from the outside. At best they change something that leads to 100s of years worth of changes that would have happened anyways....so that’s a fools errand. You have to operate from within the system. Learn to use capital, learn to raise capital and learn to read the language of our system and then use it to support a life you and others love.... For instance, the median income in the US is to make 60,000 but no one keeps anything close to that. No one even keeps 20,000. Figure out how to radically reduce your expenses and then replace your income... the Patel (migrant family from India) now own half the motels in the world and more than 25% of the hotels. How did they do it? They didn’t know what they were supposed to do and accidentally became the lowest cost provider that no one could compete with. 1)They found a motel, offered to take the minimum(didn’t know how to negotiate) as long as they could have one room for their big family with a kind sized bed (didn’t know living standards should be higher) so they could be within walking distance of a convenience store (didn’t know grocery store was cheaper) and so they didn’t have to buy a car (didn’t know people “had to own a car”). They pooled their money together (didn’t know they weren’t supposed to) and eventually bought the motel. 2)each one of them could take home we will say inflation adjusted for today $20,000 for working at a motel 3)Normally it would cost a motel owner $20,000 just to employ one of their family members but because they pooled their money together it was pure profit. 4)Normally when a business pays you $20,000, it actually costs them $25,000 because they have to pay the government payroll taxes. There are laws where hiring family members exempts small family business from payroll tax up to a certain amount. 5)Normally a business owner has to take a large enough salary to support their living expenses, so that comes out of what the company could use to grow. The patels did almost nothing for entertainment except maybe rent a movie and watch together in their crowded bed, they didn’t go out to eat and didn’t eat much, didn’t have living or travel expenses outside of one room between all of them and so they were an owner operated business no one could compete with. 6)Soon the patels kids had kids and knew the business and grew it the same way. The patels could lower prices considerably and the neighboring hotel/motels could not compete and lost business and were forced to sell, those distressed properties no one else could buy given the conditions made for a very cheap acquisition for the patels. The patels ultimately were able to provide more affordable hotel and motel experience, and avoid racking up significant amounts of debt and they were able to learn about the tax laws to their benefit. They saw America as the land of opportunity, and when you’re thinking in terms of opportunity and looking for it you can find it. 1)Cost reduction is the holy grail of business growth. For instance, let’s say you can spend $1 to make $1.05. You could grow your business by 30% or cut costs by 30%. At first it seems the same... you grow your business by 30% you’ll make $.30 more on your dollar. You shrink your costs you make $.30 more net. But if you pay $.70 to make $1.05 you are netting $0.35 on $.70-a 50% return on your money and more than 10 times your 5% gain on money. 2)Risk reduction can be reduced to zero, if you reduce your financial risk to zero you are only limited by your time and the number of times you are able to try. Note that the “takes money to make money” paradigm is wrong. Richard Branson is the best model for this. He and everyone with the same scheduled flight was stuck in Puerto Rico as the return flight was delayed over 48 hours. He was the only one there with a pilots license. So he found out the cost of a charter flight, divided the price quote of $10,000 up among the 50 passengers for $200 a piece, collected the money for the charter flight in advance and immediately covered his cost to acquire a plane he was free to use for the next 72 hours how he wanted. He even negotiated the price down from $10,000 to $8,000 and returned $20 to each passenger which he didn’t have to do. He then took that model and grew into a billion dollar company by understanding how to use no risk and now he is doing the same thing with outer space where rich people give him $25,000 just to reserve a spot in line to pay $1M to go in outerspace and travel around the moon. He uses that $25,000 a piece to build the business, then takes it public and sells 80% of his stake to the public to raise more money to grow and just like that over several years and lots of effort he has a rocket company that he controls. 2)any time you have an idea to reduce cost over competitors or eliminate risk give it a shot. Elon Musk-case study. Elon has started multiple companies that in the future will integrate together to reduce costs to approach zero. 95% of the cost of space travel is in rebuilding a new rocket. Space X has multiple ways to do it including the ability to 3d print a rocket, the ability to land the rocket successfully and reduce costs that NASA would have paid out to all sorts of companies who make big margins and profits off of their expense, and instead he takes those parts in house. He did the same with other companies like a Tesla and would buy out companies where he cannot produce parts at a cheaper cost. He also made part reduction a priority using ridiculously talented engineers working 90 hour work weeks. I think the 100 year vision is that the rockets can carry a machine that bores holes (boring company) into space if needed to mine asteroids or the moon or Mars and bring back rare materials that he then can store under earth to lower the material costs of all car parts and the car and machinery and factory itself. I think the vision is to make it considerably cheaper to dig under ground than it is to build upwards so that the cost of land is less and the cost of the factory is less. Ultimately Tesla is leveraged to the battery cost which is levered to technology and will improve and decline in cost over time and he bought out solar city to help with that while improving future car sales by making solar roofs cheaper then actual roofs that happen to make owning an electric car more viable and help the potential consumer save money on electricity costs so they can afford a Tesla. A car company is really hard as it relies on constant funding and borrowing money to build factories to house expensive equipment to make cars and do R&D and do advertising to build a brand just to make a product people only buy once every 5-10 years anyways. But Elon will change far more than just the automotive business as he succeeds, he will make a blueprint that businesses and entrepreneurs will follow and perhaps some will even improve upon the same way McDonald’s improved the restaurant model where you have all this cost of land and real estate and if you don’t seat everyone all of the time you don’t make money and he reduced the building size and built a system and shared the cost with franchise owners and used them to build his brand to sell the system and expand it while earning very high rent off the property via the franchise owner... subway expanded upon the fast food franchise model of McDonalds by making fast casual, Jimmy Johns improved upon that by improving the speed and adding delivery and Chipotle perfected fast casual.
RBF said, “We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living". Then we should break free of the "elites" who control the education system are programming us (brainwashing) to be financial slaves. These wicked people don't want you to live comfortably or be self sufficient because who then would serve them and provide the power they crave. The ultimate problem is the problem of Sin and the ultimate solution is Jesus Christ's payment of sin debt and Resurrection from the dead. This is our hope of the future without sin. This Earth will never be "Heaven", so why do we try to make it so? Don't get me wrong. We should try to manage the Earth and our stewardship that God gives us the best that we can.

Dan Meyers Have you read any of his books? He wrote all of his most influential ones well after he turned 50. As far as "not a very detailed thinker" have you read Synergetics? Have you noticed the attention he paid to the words he used?
+Dan Meyers What you refer to as 'religious junk' are hints of pure metaphysic, indeed unknown to most modern scientists but obviously intuitively understood by Mr Fuller. He is not wrong to compare love, for example, to the interaction of radiation and gravity: everything in the universe being constructed on the basis of universal principles, that is, natural law, (what you foolishly dismiss as 'general concepts,' which are anyway the whole basis of even the grossest materialistic and specialized science, as a matter of fact) human love indeed has a direct correspondence to cosmic phenomena. What he is getting at here are the unerring laws of polarity and correspondence through which fractal holographic nature is constructed in every manifest part from atom to star with organic beings inbetween. I suggest you get off your high horse and have a little humility, respect a great intuitive mind: there is much about this universe of which you are entirely unaware; it is certainly not Fuller, but rather you who owns junk and nonsense as though it were knowledge and virtue.
+Dan Meyers I think what this guy had that a lot of thinkers and scientists get trained out of him was love. The eyes of love an see things that the eyes of skepticism can't. They can see further, up close and in more detail, and with greater integration. Thus they sound crazy to people that don't use all of their senses (feeling). And google. Good specific applications, but no broad vision. It could just become the standard railway for capital if we aren't careful. Bucky made some mistakes, but ultimately I think his message was valid. He was a product of his time, but also beyond his time. By a century or two. The world still need to hear it. And the dude worked until he was dead. Writing, inventing, teaching, inspiring. Work. You gotta respect that.
He was man awarded with 47 honorable degree. Harvard university said him as world greatest enigma; one who can't be defined. He is the futuristic
What a genius ! I think he, Nikola Tesla and Osho would´ve been a real GREAT team for a new utopia . . .

So how can we use this information?
Create urr reality, then it alters the future. Plug into a good power source,find a good one.
it's very quiet.
similar to fresco
Robert anton wilson was right
I'm sorry. I am a fairly educated woman. I am having a difficult time following what this oh so brilliant man is saying.
use less, waste none.
fuller floated in and out of awareness of his own animalness with its inherent fallibility of mental models and shared animal functions of thought, perception and emotions,. He lost rationality with religious junk...perhaps seeking a wider popularity.
yes, he was sharp, had a great working memory, and pretty intelligent, but it seems he, like most, lost his drive and activity and growth after his 40s. He went into pure repetitive TALK circuit mode after his efforts and ideas didn't pan out: the shapes(very limited applications), the house design (which failed), and the car(which failed and injured his daughter in a crash).
he was self-admittedly a broad generalist, not a very detailed thinker, and obviously an idealist without a good understanding of practicality and animal/human behavior and that general concepts don't cut it without detail and a solid successful implementation. THINK MUSK, THINK GOOGLE.
He presents here and elsewhere a lot like deepak chopra or an LSD user or POT smoker, leading me to believe he's engaged some drugs somewhere along the line.
He thinks individuals can solve all the problems with no need for teams/collaboration for complex issues, and thus every man should learn everything from scratch on their own and just pursue his interests individually without organized institutions that pay rewards/wages.
He discusses history, facts, logical conclusions, and occassionally throws in junk/nonsense statement like "the alternative is oblivion". :-P
Most of his presentations are repetitious, so once you've listened to him chatter for an hour or two, you are pretty much done.
Overall, interesting as most sharp speakers are, but thats about it.
