Comment on: Photo 'Alfred Wegener's pangea': oposed natural selection, he faced at least as much resistance as Wegener; although his theory explained myriad observations, nobody had actually seen finches evolving. Likewise, the effects of our own collective activity—such as climate change and loss of biodiversity—are almost invisible to us, because the impact spans the whole planet, growing over centuries. Like plate tectonics and evolution, the arrival of the Anthropocene epoch is not a human-scale phenomenon. Buckminster Fuller conceived the Geoscope as a tool to help humans attain a global perspective, to see worldwide events and to probe geological time. It was to be an instrument for scoping Earth’s patterns—an instrument of comprehensive anticipatory design science. And though it was never built adjacent to the United Nations, he always carried one in his head. In order to anticipate comprehensively, the present-day design scientist must do as he did. Design scientists must be sensitive to natural patterns of change and human patterns of activity, extrapolating from fragmentary evidence. In the Anthropocene, these patterns will be interrelated. And since human activity is the driving force, they not only can be observed but also can be impacted. However, patterns must be detected before they become settled, before the consequences are foregone conclusions. Unlike Wegener and Darwin, the design scientist cannot be passive.

Comment on: Album 'IN THE MIND'S EYE': w on I wish to dedicate this initiative of mine to THE IDEAS of he whom I would regard as my best friend ever, namely my father-in-law Ronald Yardley, who when I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage, exclaimed.. "WHY on EARTH would you want to DO THAT !!!???" • but having built a digital calculator & a colour television receiver at home in a kitchen cupboard, it was he who had explained to me in-depth the purpose of using TRANSISTORS instead of VALVES at a TIME when, as part of a Physics 'A' level experiment, I was involved with the building of an analogue computer/calculator at Grammar School, utilising valves • I would dedicate the very concept of TRANSISTION to him, particularly with respect for the kindness of the hundreds of Post Office Staff who attended his funeral at Finchley Crematorium, following his untimely death at 54 years of age. …; Added by Michael Grove at 10:46 on October 13, 2020
