@laurahelmuth "Climate change will be a major challenge for your generation. While it is already impacting my generation, you will feel the effects with increasing frequency and strength. Unfortunately, my generation is not doing enough to slow down these changes, and it will fall on you to further advance technology and ideology to tackle them." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-do-climate-scientists-tell-their-kids-about-the-future/ #boo and again #boo The C and probably also the O2 in #CO2 is a RESOURCE neglected.

" So we find the bird, then, designed with integral wings for his real, his mediu then, is the air. In gases he can fly beautifully. But when he's not flying he cannot divest himself of his wings, so the wings then, when he tries to walk around are quite encumbering."

#Datreveno #BuckminsterFuller #Arkitekturo

Je ĉi dato en 1895 naskiĝis Buckminster Fuller, dezajnisto kaj frua media aktivisto, kiu inventis kelkajn malpezajn transporteblajn domojn, kaj popularigis la geodezian kupolon. Lia filozofio "fari pli per malpli" spegulis sian intereson pri daŭripovo, ĉar li scias ke la ekspluateblaĵoj en la Tero estas limigitaj. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller

Surface areas of a #BuckminsterFuller sphere if you start with an icosahedron, sub-triangulate and push to the sphere for several iterations, and then take the dual (connect the triangle centroids to form lots of hexahedrons and exactly 12 pentahedrons (located at the original icosahedron corners).

"You never change things by fighting existing #reality. To change something, build a new #model that makes the existing model #obsolete." – #BuckminsterFuller

For me, this is truly helpful, giving me a way to think about our current #global #realities and consider ways to ameliorate public complacence and our ever-quickening descent into an #apocalyptic #hellscape.

I'm sure others have stated much the same, or better, but this came up in a #YouTube #video I'm watching and I needed this, now.

Thema #Nachhaltigkeit #Umweltschutz etc

Der #Altmaier hat ja mal geäußert das Umweltschutz nicht unseren Wohlstand gefährden darf. Das Problem ist denke ich aber wie wir Wohlstand definieren, nämlich nur über monetäre Werte wie das #BSP.

#Buckminsterfuller hat allerdings in seinem 1969 erschienen Buch "Operation manual for spaceship earth" schon ausgeführt das Wohlstand sich nur on Lebensqualität und nicht in Geld bemessen lässt.

Useless quote for 26 May:

We all together and every person by ones own must change the conciousness of the society as part of our #spiritualjourney.

There is a lot of work being done in thinking, not by pagans but by different people, in our hemisphere mostly christians, whom are not touched by their god but touched by the universe, who gave us their thougts to arm ourselves in this struggle:

#RalphWaldoEmerson, #HenryDavidThoreau, #JohnMuir, #JohnChapman, #BuckminsterFuller to name just a few.

It is....

@mariapopova
There is also a book by #buckminsterfuller called "the operation manual for spaceship earth"
Have a look.

I offer you a 1975 extended stream of consciousness multi day college course. This guy fills the #wise #grandfather file in my head. Someone had the #wisdom to get his to verbally download on early VHS. I don't see notes or prompters anywhere he just speaks from his memory and #understanding . A #treasure . #visionary #BuckminsterFuller #history #context #understanding #science #philosophy #artist #engineer #smart #synergy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhTbTQ8Jzs&list=PLcnCic1OQJBL-0r7KwUqaoNHAxQAqj83_

#BuckminsterFuller Another old melanin challenged dead man. I'm sure he had his flaws, I don't deify him but he has a mind that I like to try to understand and emulate. He's from a time when computers had little to do with things. A time when a smart man used a slide rule, had all the formula in mind or at arms reach and knew many disciplines well. If only our system didn't crush these types we need young ones badly. He didn't invent the geo-dome, he just popularized it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQp6AnKRA8A

Reading: A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of Buckminster Fuller by Amy C. Edmondson.

İdea: symmetry of space

MJF idea: imagine your favorite song.
Visualize it taking up a cubic foot or a tetrahedron.
İmagine how many times it has been played, and how many units it would fill after each play, and how big that volume would be.

@nspugh Indeed there is. A friend of mine recently introduced me to the concept of #QuantumEntanglement . I already had some knowledge of #Fractals and the work of #BuckminsterFuller
