More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their reign of darkness are about to be rendered obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a 'higher standard of living than any have ever known.' It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are most probably here for local information-gathering and local-Universe problem-solving in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Universe is synergetic. Life is synergetic.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sum-total behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and is utterly mysterious to us, because as humans--in pure principle--we do not and never will know all the principles
R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings were given a left foot and a right foot to make a mistake first to the left, then to the right, left again and repeat.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings are the only creatures on the planet that tell time and think they have to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything you've learned in school as obvious becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I see God in the instruments and the mechanisms that work reliably, more reliably than the limited sensory departments of the human mechanism.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Consisting mostly of recirculating scrapped metals, 80% of all the metals that have ever been mined are still at work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We as economic society are going to have to pay our whole population to go to school and pay it to stay at school.
R. Buckminster Fuller
