R. Buckminster Fuller
Topology is the science of fundamental pattern and structural relationships of event constellations.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What humans have spontaneously identified as good and bad - or as positive and negative - are evolutionary complementations in need of more accurate identifications.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are prisoners of our own metaphors, metaphorically speaking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
