c Framed Wellington bomber and you from your own thoughts of him on his 'critical-path' sail-boat trips around the lighthouse as well as his in-depth understanding of the urgent need to address the potential of climate change disaster and his dream of the potential of an EDEN-PROJECT like INITIATIVE,  which his daughter Allegra Fuller Snyder visited • in her capacity as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the Buckminster Fuller Institute and most certainly established as an exemplar of the way forward •  with respect for and regard to the issue of Climate Change, in juxtaposition to the likes of Lord Lawson, who has a history of controversial appearances on the Today programme, to make a number of inaccurate claims throughout his interview, which has already attracted widespread criticism from scientists.  …

Comment on: Blog Post 'BUCKY'S VISUAL LITERACY'
g preoccupation into the realistic prospect of    a spontaneously coordinate planetary society."    Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking                                                                 Buckminster Fuller Synergetics is a product of Fuller's passionate concern with models. Concerned that society's ignorance of science is seriously destructive, he devoted years of thought to ways of alleviating this ignorance. In the 20th century, we suddenly find ourselves confronted with an "invisible" atomic reality in which the average person understands very little about how things work. Although confronted daily with "incredible technology", which to Fuller includes the natural phenomena of Universe as well as the ever-expanding inventory of human invention, the vast majority assume such phenomena to be out of their reach. Fuller attributes this widespread discomfort to both the "invisibility" of science and the devastatingly complicated mathematics without which, scientists claim, their findings cannot be described. The dangerous chasm between scientists and lay people, with the truth guarded by an elite few and the rest resigned to ignorance, thus seems inevitable. The origin of this troubled state of affairs? An incorrect mathematical system! Long ago human beings surveyed this environment and, seeing a never-ending flat Earth, decided upon cubes and orthogonal planes as the appropriate measuring system. Today, says Fuller, we're still stuck with that uninformed early guess, and as a result, nature's behavior has seemed irrational, perverse, and difficult to describe because we're using the wrong kind of yardstick. With accurate models, he claims, this gap can be closed. The purpose of synergetics is to make the invisible events and transformations of Universe visible, through tangible models that elucidate the principles behind our energy-event Universe. Human beings will thereby be able to "coordinate their senses" with a new understanding of reality. Synergetics is full of tantalizing models; the difficulty comes in assigning them to aspects of physical reality. However, a number of notable examples, in which a newly discovered scientific phenomenon is described by one of Fuller's previously developed models, suggest that there may be many more such successes to come. The immediate goal therefore is to unravel and study the geometric system [IT]self.   Edmondson, Amy C.. A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of R.

   Bar-le-Duc, France. "This one has beautiful decorations." 5. Understand what needs to be done, and then do it. Man knows so much but does so little. Bucky wrote this advice in 1970 to a ten-year-old boy who asked whether Fuller was a doer or a thinker: “The things to do are: the things that need doing, that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done. Then you will conceive your own way of doing that which needs to be done— that no one else has told you to do or how to do it. This will bring out the real you that often gets buried inside a character that has acquired a superficial array of behaviors imposed by others on the individual.” …
