    Bucky is a genius of the caliber of
    Leonardo Da Vinci. He tirelessly worked
    For the survival of mankind on our
    Tiny stressed world. It will be years before
    he is fully appreciated because he was
    Way ahead of his time. On the other hand
    he is often difficult to understand so one
    has to read him small pieces at a time.
    He is well worth the effort. He is truly
    One of the world's greatest intellects.

    Buckminster Fuller was one of the few modern day geniuses. A lot is said in just few pages. Highly recommended reading.

    Yes, the man uses big words, such an elitist!!
    Sorry, weak excuse...no reason to pan or pass by the book.
    Only for the curious and poeticly pragmatic:

    "Hearsaids, beliefs, axioms,
    Superstitions, guesses, opinions
    Were and are
    All excluded.
    As answer resources
    For playing my particular
    Intellectual development game.

    Fuller's about asking real questions and getting real answers
    based on one's own personal experience, direct experience.
    Otherwise, any concept, belief, dogma, narrative, assumption,
    beliefs, or wishes you have may very "become meaningless".

    Zen is similar it seems. Fuller is leaving us koans we can't just
    gulp down like happy consumers with an endless unfillable black hole
    in ourselves to feed. Those kinds of "answers" don't work. Ain't true.

    So,if your a Fuller fan, this is nothing new. If not, jump in, bite off
    a sentence at a time, let it work on you, let a man still way ahead of
    the curve, who saw where we are going and how to get there...who saw that
    the sun doesn't rise, or set. The Earth moves, spins. Take this book out
    for a spin, and grow some new nueral knowledge.

    "Wisdom is the consciousness
    Of a confidence, overriding the consciousness
    That there coexists a complex,
    Comprehensive integrity
    of Omni-interaccommodative
    Eternally generalized principles
    Permeating and embracing
    Every demonstrably limited
    Special case temporal experience..."

    A book, like an old alchemical text,
    you can spend the rest of your life with.

    A self-proclaimed genius delivers babble disguised as philosophy.

    This 'book' is more like a glorified TimeCube (TimeCube.com), another crackpot theory.

    Recommended for its hilarity.
