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
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
