More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their reign of darkness are about to be rendered obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ideas are easy to come by reduction to practice is an arduous but inspirationally rewarding matter.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I have spent most of my life unlearning things that were proved not to be true
R. Buckminster Fuller
Man is going to be displaced altogether as a specialist by the computer. Man himself is being forced to reestablish, employ, and enjoy his innate 'comprehensivity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is merely a resource that isn't being used properly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If we design the environment properly It will permit both child and adult to develop safely And to behave logically.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Out of my general world-pattern-trend studies there now comes strong evidence that nothing is going to be quite so surprising and abrupt in the future history of man as the forward evolution in the educational process.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
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
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is only one revolution tolerable to all men, all societies, all political systems: Revolution by design and invention.
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
Windmills installed around the world converting their direct current into alternating current and feeding the electric energy into the world network can harvest the planet Earth's prime daily energy income source-the wind--and adequately supply all the world's energy needs
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning. There is nothing bad about behaviors or perceptions that do not work they simply have to be given up and replaced by behaviors or perceptions that do work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are prisoners of our own metaphors, metaphorically speaking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
