Buckminster Fuller

Unity is plural. [Fuller (1975). Explorations in the Geometry of thinking -- Synergetics, Macmillan, New York] Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately. [ibid.] I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe. [Fuller (1970). I Seem To Be A Verb, Bantam Books, New York] Spaceship Earth (Phrase) [Fuller (1968). Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale] Note: Fuller was a great coiner of words and phrases. In addition to "Spaceship Earth," Fuller also coined the word "debunk," meaning "to expose, hold up to ridicule, or take the nonsense out of--". What I am trying to do is to discover why God included humans in Universe. [Fuller (1981). Critical Path, St. Martin's Press, New York] The Dark Ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. [Fuller (1992). Cosmography, Macmillan, New York] We are powerfully imprisoned in these Dark Ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.
