I agree that if Sandy Berger et al have done a 180 re pushing for 0 WMDs in Iraq, that they owe it to their constituencies to come clean and state the new policy, or otherwise risk making a total mockery of their earlier bluster and flashing of cruise missile pix on TV. Of course the record is clear that I was no fan of the earlier policy either (click URLs below), although I do favor spreading the regime of webcams and inhouse monitoring (including plenty of informants), prototyped in Saddam's castles, and now ready for more consistent implementation on a global basis, where to this day misanthropic mad scientists hatch their dasterdly plans to unleash WMDs against innocents. To just play these anti-WMD games in the Persian Gulf region, and not Hanford (to take but one example), is to engage in extreme hypocrisy. Biochemical and nuclear weapons are a crime against humanity wherever they occur -- a point so obvious, I'm not sure why the NSC is afraid to say it loud and clear (how else to establish an environment of mutual trust and reciprocity in a post-Cold War economy?). Fortunately, the monitoring regime _is_ spreading, and WMD makers are on alert that they're being policed, data about them shared, recorded for posterity, no matter where they try to hide. Thanks to people like Scott Ritter, it's going to be very difficult to make a profitable career planning the slaughter of innocents in the next chapter, without someone blowing a whistle behind your back, and everyone in the world knowing what infernal fantasies inhabit your sick and twisted mind. Praise Allah.

Most recently, such unlikely neighbors as Argentina - Chile, Iran -Turkey and even Pakistan - India are exploxing the option. Yet, 2 billion people remain unserved by any electrical energy -- and the benefits that you an I take for granted: clean water, lighting, refrigeration, communication, sewage disposal, health care, and so on. The other half of the global grid strategy is to dramatically expand the renewable energy capacity, which today is only 20% of the total. Coal, oil, gas and nuclear continue to dominate the energy development in the developing regions of the world. The GENI Initiative (Global Energy Network Institute) has recently earned several world-class endorsements for this global strategy -- from Walter Cronkite, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Desmond Tutu, Ruud Lubbers, and many more. GENI is a non-profit research and education 501(c)(3) -- and we are always looking for more partners, donors, endorsements, media placements, interns.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Peter. One of the first places I checked out when I first got on the web was the Dept of energy. I'm interested in the Fuel cell research that they are carrying out. One thing that really intrigued me was their strategy for dispersal of the technology. If I understand it correctly their intention is to place many fuel cells around and by doing so you decentralize energy production and if the owner of the fuel cell creates more power than they need the owners meter runs backward. The fuel cells they are most interested in getting out into the market via commercial operators are fuel cells that burn natural gas. One of their big goals is to get the central European countries to utilize this technology in the hopes of decreasing coal use in that region. Enormous, and in some cases irreversible damage to the forests of central Europe has occurred from the former soviet block nations burning high sulfur coal. Something more insidious than acid rain is produced in the region; acid fog is killing the forests there. The reason the Dept of energy, in cooperation with NASA, is involved in fuel cell development is that the Army wants the technology so they can be more stealthy in the field, generators and vehicles make a lot of noise. And in the case of vehicles fuel cell power plants create less targetable thermal signatures. Given the anti terrorists fervor going on now smaller decentralized power generation is a good anti terrorist defense strategy. (Doing the right things for the wrong reasons). ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1998 12:45:41 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Brian Hutchings Subject: Re: Scott Ritter on PBS <> Brian Hutchings 01-SEP-1998 12:45 r001806@pen2.ci.santa-monica.ca.us I heard from Bonn, that the Administration has *apologized* to Sudan, and offered restitution, on some informal basis, although they're holding-out for complete exhoneration; which is to show, if true, that Clinton's advisors were stupid, or lying, or both, or that they were duped by equally foolish NGOs (the unusual suspects being AI, Human Rights Watch and UNCHR -- the latter, as per their heinous attacks upon Hun Sen, in favor of the Khmer Rouge!) that is the problem with your paradigm, Big Mutha IS Watching You, which I grok isthe subject of a nonscifi book, and the network of "NWO" NGOs, like Transparency Intl., and os on. thus quoth: the regime of webcams and inhouse monitoring (including plenty of informants), prototyped in Saddam's castles, and now ready for more consistent implementation on a global basis, where to --The End Was Nigh! http://www.tarpley.net/bush23.htm ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1998 13:00:38 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Brian Hutchings Subject: Re: Lighting the World <> Brian Hutchings 01-SEP-1998 13:00 r001806@pen2.ci.santa-monica.ca.us that's good -- adn you forgot "cold" (catalyzed) fusion!... the fact taht you consider oil & gas (and coal, to a lesser extent) to be nonrenewable, is indicative of a *lot* of TV-watching; I'll post some thing that gives a hint, about that. thus quoth: renewable energy capacity, which today is only 20% of the total.

Firstly, my opponent, Ed Muzika, had gone whole-hog against the poisoning of *innocent* squirrels, who may have a lot of clout in the community, for all that I know. Then, it appeared in his M.O.-- I mean,"profile", that he liked to feed feral cats, in Pallisades Park; it took me a while to recall this, but, I have *seen* a squirrel munching from a bowl, just over the fence, on the bluff, which I had assumed to be "squirrel kibble". That was just one squirrel; on the other hand, I didn't see *any* cats eating it, but they are nocturnal, I guess. My big " maybe, feral cats *ought* to be hungry in the parks, so that they'll be good, little solvers of the problem with squirrels (namely, that they're fed by picnicers -- and catlovers, in one case !-) As for Doggy Parks for the K9 community, I had suggested to the Santa Monica City Council, to integrate them with the soccer- and baseball-fields, per the run-off, by using "keyline planning", a "compleat solution" that is covered in the book, _Water for Every Farm_ (revised edition avail.from Elfin Permaculture in Ogala, Florida). Re DreamWorks and "Playa del Treis Reys", an awful lot of folks seem to have a rather picaresque fairytale of run-off, from an "undeveloped" site. Really, though, it may be more realistic, to consider a river to be akin to an organic *sewer* -- think about it; otherwise, wouldn't the fish eventually starve!?... and, the estuary is the settling-tank! This "fairy-fart paradigm" reaches its nadir, beneath the Hughes radar, with the flippant proposal of that whacky Ulan Bator Foundation, to *steamclean* the nice-ty streets of Venice --as if oil did not organically ooze from the Redondo Seep, some time ago-- except that they appeared to be totally, "dead" serious. Or, how about SMCC's approval, to the tune of seven megabucks (2 in grants and 5 in a longterm loan, apparently linked to county-wide assessments, which have no increases in the following fiscal year, at the least; these two things were done in conjunction with LACC, so strike the part about the County?) -- to "microfilter and UV-sterilize" the s from the Pico-Ketner drain, and the other one, in the Dry-Weather Run-off Facility, or DWRF. But, then, I actually thought, it was a Rite of Passage, for Surfer-Dudes to catch Various Dyseases, directy after or *during* a storm, to develop their immunities, in leiu of shots at school -- and school, to go riight-back into the water, ASAP, for as *long* as possible. --The End Was Nigh! http://www.tarpley.net/bush23.htm ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1998 14:23:12 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Mark Somers Subject: More fuelcell stuff.

I made up some drawings for him. But at the same time it got me to thinking about a dome over a portion of Tucson or maybe even Phoenix with all power (vehicles included) being powered by hydrogen fuelcells only. The hydrogen would be produced off the coast of California or maybe in the Gulf of California then pumped via pipeline to the domed cities. There would then be plenty of water (3 to 2 times) given present per capita power consumption.

Probably a psycho-political thing. All US manned (personed) spacecraft fly utilizing fuelcells for power and drinking water.

The idea is to deploy them on the scale of car engines and houses. You just have them all over and there's no central power plant that risks being destroyed by natural disaster or human malice.

Barnes Innovative Technologies Inc. P.O. Box 32052 3749 Shelbourne St. Victoria, B.C. V8P 5S2 Dear Mr. Barnes: As an earthquake planner since 1979 as Regional Director, Emergency Planning Canada, B.C. & Yukon, and as an international consultant on earthquake preparedness, I have been involved in developing emergency kits for earthquakes or any other emergency for twenty years. In that time, one of the concerns that I and others have had is with radios, flashlights and batteries stored in these kits. The batteries deteriorate, and may when needed, fail. I have, over time, tried a variety of self powered radios. They are usually charge a battery through either a crank or through solar cells or both. Every one of them has died in a relatively short time because the battery deteriorates and destroys the radio. Your Baygen radio has none of these failings because of the design, which does away with the need for a battery. I have one of these radios in my own emergency kit and I would certainly endorse its place in any emergency kit. It has a proven, long reliable life, and as we all know, communication during emergencies is essential if we are to be aware of what the authorities are doing and what they are trying to tell us. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to see your new Baygen flashlight. It is far superior to any other emergency light I have seen and clearly should have a place in any emergency kit. I will certainly be adding one to my own kit! Finally, I should also tell you that I am giving serious thought to installing your QuakeAlert in order to alert and protect my family.

Because of the thickness of the bookbinder material (28 ply), Russ incorporated thickness into dimensions of cube faces, so the gluing of adjacent sides might be flush, making for a stronger box with an internal volume having face-diagonals of 4". Other shapes took beads of hot glue along the creases (no attempt to bevel or mitre edges), followed with a tape covering. We use red lentils (actually orange -- goes well with black tape) for pouring from one shape to another, to demonstrate volumetric relation- ships (one face left "open" on each shape). Working on pouring tech- nique (might need a funnel). We decided the rhombic triacontahedron was too precise and complicated to get out of the thick 28-ply so returned to Art Media on First Day for some thinner paperboard (also picked up more roles of cloth tape). Helps to slightly bend 28-ply stuff apart with each stroke of the Xacto blade. We used a large paper cutter at Kinko's (protected slider cut, not one of those old cleaver-style models, which have been fazed out for safety reasons) to do long strips for the rhombic triaconta, leaving only slant-cuts for the Xacto: ------------------------------------------------ <-- Kinko's / / / / / / / / / / } / / / / / / / / / / } ------------------------------------------------ <-- Kinko's Shapes made (over Labor Day weekend): Volume Tetrahedron 1 Cube 3 Octahedron 4 Rhombic Triacontahedron 5* Rhombic Dodecahedron 6 Icosahedron 18.51+ Cuboctahedron 20 * given upper limits on precision associated with these construction methods, there's no easy way to differentiate the E-module from the T-module RT, so we'll say this is the T-mod one, with volume 5 precisely.

As usual, it was great. We got a lot of enthusiastic feedback from attendees. Unfortunately due to the Labor Day weekend scheduling i was unable to be at some sessions, and did not actually get to hear any entire presentations. The timing also cut our attendance to some degree. However, i did manage to have several enlightening conversations with a number of inventors and builders. On the medical front, things are progressing well. Most significant is the refinement of electronic pulse technology by Ed Skilling, who is now in his 70's and still going strong. He had several new research devices which are commercially available and viable. Of course current US laws do not allow any medical claims to be made, but anyone can buy these things and see for themselves the medicine of the future -- a cheap and effective set of technologies which will eventually be able to address almost any physical condition. Three new motor builders showed up with promising devices. These were Mark Deal, Mark Richards, and Don Martin. All three are managing to get slight increases in power delivered from their motors, compared to input. At this stage, the extra power is ephemeral and difficult to harness, but it is there. Deal in particular has a very good theoretical framework. Martin was able to bring two motors down, and although he doesn't have a clue how they work, he was able to give us some excellent ideas. Paul Pantone has done excellent work in commercializing new technologies. He has set up a small and closely held company in Utah which is now able to distribute several devices. Most significant is a "plasma tube" which can be added to cars and significantly increases gas mileage by using a sort of chemical feedback reaction on the exhaust gases. These can be purchased as part of standalone electric generators, or as kits which can go on many standard engine models. One guy brought a Cadillac which had just gotten one installed. Also demonstrated were some trucks which had been modified. More standard alternative technology was exhibited by Steven Joyner of Torrington, Wyoming. He is singlehandedly reviving the whole field of wind power. The field of alternative technology is still in its infancy. We still have to contend with possibly fraudulent people, but the situation is not as bad as it used to be even five years ago. The worst frauds have been discredited, partly through the efforts of the Tesla Society. There is a general consensus that young researchers are very much needed. Some of the greatest progress will be made by those who are too inexperienced to know it can't be done. Several educational kits for children are available through the Tesla Society. Also, videos of most Symposium speakers, including the ones mentioned here, are available. Phone number for the Society is 719-475-0918. Office hours are 10 am - 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, Mountain time. I also am willing to privately send addresses of several developers to those who are interested. -- Michael Riversong P.O.

They say frozen natural gas produced by deep sea bacteria has built up over thousands of years to provide the huge energy reserve. Dr Ben Clennel, from the Earth sciences department at Leeds University, has made a special study of these methane ice "gas hydrates". Speaking at the British Association Science Festival being held at Cardiff University, he said: "If you add together the energy content of all the conventional fossil fuels - that's oil, gas and coal - and you compare it with the energy content in natural gas hydrates, you find that there is about twice as much energy potentially available in natural gas hydrates than there is for all the fossil fuel resources that have been exploited in the past. And we think we can exploit that in the future." -- _________________________________________ | | | | | | | | | | (, | /\ | |] | (, | [- | |- | |- | <> | | Gg | Aa | Dd | Gg | Ee | Tt | Tt | Oo | ----------------------------------------- http://www.teleport.com/~box2321/go.html ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 13:16:01 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Joe S Moore Subject: Re: Fuller Domes Comments: To: Robert Duchesnay In-Reply-To: <2.2.32.19980908153021.00679110@cca.qc.ca> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Robert, See below.

A number is a symbol for an idea. Why could you not use a symbol other than a number. I could use anything I wanted to to symbolize the same thing a number does. A metaphor is the use of a symbol which has other things it symbolizes. And precision is relative anyway. And it also may be irrelevant. The degree that something is purple may not be important.

F(x+y)=Q----->Z(x) ^ S(g^y) Complex math actually works similary. I was watching a special on Fermat An + Bn = Cn, where n is anything, but 2. Anyway, proofs or disproofs aren't done by plugging an infinite set of numbers into the variable to test them. There are agreed-upon rules, laws, etc. Similar to logic.

There, it would quickly fire its engines again and ``skip'' back into space. =20 ``A commercial flight from the midwestern United States to Japan would require approximately 25 such skips to complete the one-and-a-half-hour journey,'' the Livermore research team said in a news release. =20 Passengers aboard the HyperSoar aircraft would not get quite the smooth ride that today's commercial airline passengers enjoy, however. =20 Carter said that those aboard the aircraft would feel 1.5 times the force of gravity at the bottom of each ``skip'', and weightlessness at the top. =20 ``The average passenger would probably put up with the slight roller coaster motion if it gets them from San Francisco to Tokyo in less than two hours, rather than ten-and-a-half,'' Carter said. =20 The HyperSoar concept would power the aircraft with normal, air-breathing engines rather than rockets, and the time the aircraft spends in space could sharply cut heat build-up on the frame -- which has been a major drawback in previous hypersonic aircraft design. =20 The Livermore group, which estimated that it would take a total investment of almost $500 million to research and built a one-third scale flyable prototype of the HyperSoar, said the aircraft would quickly prove its value. =20 Along with enabling much swifter, if bumpier, passenger flights, HyperSoar could also be used for fast and frequent cargo delivery. One analysis said a HyperSoar flying express mail between Los Angeles and Tokyo could generate ten times the daily revenue of a similarly-sized subsonic cargo plane. =20 HyperSoar could also benefit the military, the researcher said, noting that it would enable speedy military strikes ``from an altitude and at a speed that defies all current defensive measures.'' =20 Finally, the scientists proposed that HyperSoar could prove a boon to the space program as the first stage of a two-stage launch process, moving objects to just outside the Earth's atmosphere from which point then can be guided into their final orbits. =20 ``Research shows this approach will allow approximately twice the payload-to-orbit as today's expendable launch systems for a given gross takeoff weight,'' the group said.

The Kennedy brothers had Big Joe to push their cause, lotsa dough (and of course charisma), but this guy is more your average schmoe, a minor wheeler-dealer from the Arkansas inner circle with a fondness for pecadillos. Thanks to the machinery of the DNC, he was elevated to a status more commensurate with his ambitions -- the media was a great equalizer in this case, putting a common man behind that big desk in DC. Even if eventually impeached, he made it to center stage. Given his obscure beginnings and rather unremarkable character, that's saying a lot. Hillary has every right to be proud of her stud, even if he's not the fastest horse to ever win the race to become USA president. The system works. Bill is living proof, even if a disappointment to those with a more romantic vision of what should go on behind closed doors in the White House. Left to his own devices, this guy is harmless enough I think, but the NSC bears watching, as undercurrents could use the power vacuum to railroad through some new policies aimed at starting up the Cold War with a vengeance. This'd be a monumental waste of time/energy, as Primakov is definitely someone with an appreciation for USA intelligence and what's already been done to secure a better tomorrow for both hemispheres. So what if he lets his bankers and economists experiment with some unconventional approaches that raise eyebrows in western academic circles. The time has come for new approaches, given the obvious bankruptcy of Russian reformism to date. Gorbachev had bigger changes in mind when Perestroika was declared, not simply rudderlessness. We've already seen Wall Street's callous triumphalism in the face of worsening crises overseas -- a commitment to write-off "small economies" ("Russia's no more significant than Denmark's") and to circle the wagons around the blue chips, with no serious commitment to rescue the drowning, despite plenty of room in the lifeboats. Madison Avenue has likewise proved itself content to stick with minor cosmetic measures, to play around with window dressing, always with an eye towards advertising and market share -- business as usual in other words. So it's obviously time to try something else. USA capitalism hasn't the courage to take risks when it still looks like nobody else has a hand worth holding. Fortunately, Russia is well-positioned to set its own agenda, with an eye towards building on the many new bridges now in place since the ending of the adversarial relationship and a convergence of interests on many fronts. So neither the Pentagon nor Wall Street should be allowed to derail the USA planning process in favor of short-term, myopic, responses to volatility. Chaotic periods do not necessarily signal disaster ahead, are just as possibly precusors to a positive new equilibrium, necessarily attained at the expense of the old one. We may have to let go of some long-held beliefs and dogmas as we transition to the new millenium, but this has long been anticipated anyway (i.e. no big surprise that we'll be surprised). I, for one, am looking forward to tomorrow's challenges. I think we're ready for them. --------------------------------------------------------- Kirby T.

HTML is a final step in the > process, not a starting point. In the large e-text collection I host [1] I use HTML as a front end that leads to plain ASCII. This is because ASCII is such a bottom-level format that all readers can upscale to the format they need; it works in all situations aside from programs that do not use the same character set (Russian, Chinese, etc., although most of them surely can be configured to read ASCII as well). I agree that HTML is not the ideal format in all circumstances. Whether or not HTML is the ideal format, if it is used (as it is used in the online edition of A Fuller Explanation, Synergetics, etc.) then ALT tags should be included in all IMG tags. This is the sum total of information to be gained from the second page of the current version of AFE... > [LINK] [LINK] > > [INLINE] > > [LINK] [LINK] ... where the simple addition of ALT tags would make the page immediately accessible to thousands more readers. Fuller suggested we reform the environment, not humanity: I prefer reforming the IMG environment to include ALT tags (the single source doing it right from the start) to typing in the additional keys to view source, list links, etc. (thousands of users fixing the problem after the fact). I have the option of using a graphic browser; blind and low-visibility users do not. Is it just their tough luck that they can't read A Fuller Explanation online? Or is it plain thoughlessness to exclude them? This isn't like building wheelchair ramps on 'historic' buildings, where the needs of wheelchair users could be countered by (I think weak) arguments of preserving architectural aesthetics. Adding ALT tags to IMG tags changes nothing - nothing - to the graphic viewer and opens the page to non-graphic users. Are Fuller's works to be available to all humanity or only some? None of the three main Fuller page (bfi.org, pdx4d, jmoore) are 100% lynx compatable, but I've had long exchanges with the first two on the subject and improvements have been made (Joe, it's your turn now). I would like to again encourage all Web authors, particularly Fuller Web authors, to make their work lynx compatable / non-browser specific. - Trevor [1] http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Classroom/3735/index.html -- Trevor Blake box2321@teleport.com http://www.teleport.com/~box2321/ Post Office Box 2321, Portland Oregon 97208-2321, United States ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 10:00:37 -0500 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Curt Flowers Organization: University of Illinois Subject: Re: CNN - Weekly Diary of a Planet - Sept. 11, 1998 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brian Hutchings wrote: > > <> Brian Hutchings 13-SEP-1998 19:33 > r001806@pen2.ci.santa-monica.ca.us > > Joe, it's not always horribly convenient to click on some URL; > could you give some sort of*gist*, f'cryin'out loud ?!?

Yeah, this is pretty much a *must* for things like HTML-formatted reports or books or anything else where an IMG tag points to an image meant to convey information. ALT-content can't usually _replace_ the actual image in terms of content, but it can at least give a hint of what the image is -- for example, if your image is a chart describing the closest packing of spheres, your ALT tag might contain "[CHART] Closest Packing of Spheres," which will tell you what the image is _about_ but won't convey the same data as the image. There are many other problems that one can run into when converting hardcopy to HTML, and most are as serious as lack of ALT tags. Jorn Barger has assembled a good hypertext design checklist at which describes them. His "HyperContent, HyperJunk" at is also good reading. It's also more than just being Lynx-compatible (which is important -- don't get me wrong); it's about creating a etext that is maintainable for the future, which is part of the reason why you want to "put x on the Web" in the first place. If an etext exists only as HTML, it is only useful when viewed in a Web browser. It is also difficult to maintain -- you have to maintain the HTML source, and if you want to convert the document to another format, you must do this manually, adding more markup and removing the HTML markup. There are tools to convert this, but since HTML is not a "source" format for etext, it cannot be done as smoothly as, say, converting an SGML document. Here is my recommended way to create and maintain a large etext: 1. Scan document using OCR software or hand entry into ASCII text files. 2. Scan images into EPS files or, if possible, obtain original photos and plates used in book and create EPS files from PhotoCD or other professional scan. 3. Markup ASCII text file with SGML or Texinfo markup for document structure (chapters, table of contents, index entries, etc.) and typefaces/fonts used (italics, boldface, small caps, etc). 4. Proofread text and images at least twice, with two different proofreaders. 5. Document is finished; now use other tools to output many different file formats, quicky and in an automated fasion: ASCII text, HTML for the Web, DVI or PostScript for printing or sending to an imagesetter for the production of a new hardbound book, even PDF for viewing with Adobe's proprietary Acrobat reader, if you so desire. If you ever need to modify or update the text, just make changes to the SGML or Texinfo source, and then recompile. New text, HTML, PS, etc. versions generated automagically. No hassle. 100% accuracy. And neither SGML nor Texinfo will go away any time soon; these files are editable in any editor, transferrable across all computer systems, and use open standards and free software that won't become outdated next year. This is how Chris Fearnley did the _Buckminster Fuller FAQ_. When printed out, it's a beautiful, professional-looking typeset document. You can even create an output file that you can take to the printer and say, "Here Mr. Printer, please print this into a book," and the printed book will look great. But you can also view that same document on the Web in HTML, or create an ASCII text file from it and read it on your PalmPilot or whatever. The alt.etext FAQ contains lots of info on this subject: ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 13:37:27 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Mark Somers Subject: Russel Chu's site.

I feel a bond of solidarity with my counterparts in similar factories around the world and would like exchange programs that swap me around with counterparts in jobs for which I already have the necessary skills, so I can have a chance to experience Thailand, Singapore and Budapest first hand (to name a few destinations). My living conditions should be adequate in all these contexts.

FL Wright wrote a review of 9 Chains to the Moon when it first came out. He also mentions Fuller in his first Autobiography and mentions hearing Fuller speak in Brooklyn. They were in contact in the late 1920s and early 1930s, perhaps longer, but of 2 completely different minds. There is probably no direct influence of either on either in terms of their architecture. The closest similarity might be found in FLW's Usonian houses and design for St. Marks Tower which predates Fuller's use of a central mast. Sorry, this is all off the top of my head and I'm bad with dates. Foster was undoubtedly influenced by Fuller but I know of no direct source to confirm that. Perhaps Foster's firm has a website and a question about his relationship to Fuller could be posted on it.

Kennedy 'When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters -- one represents danger and one represents opportunity.' -- John F. Kennedy 'Evolutionary events.. have, during the last half-century, gone critical -- bringing humanity to a moment of crisis adequate in magnitude to springboard humanity into oblivion or into a relatively utopian future.' -- Buckminster Fuller. Critical Path. Is humanity's unused potential so great that a failure can save the world? Every failure has hidden within it the opportunity for an equal or greater success. So many people have been inspired by Buckminster Fuller because as a failure he stood on a bridge contemplating suicide, and in his mental anguish dedicated his life to using his experience for the benefit of all humanity. Later in life, after his devastating failure to bring his Dymaxion Dwelling Machines into production, Buckminster Fuller went on to achieved his greatest success, the geodesic dome, for which he was awarded a Gold Medal in architecture. The geodesic dome is a remarkable, clear-span structure that has no theoretical size limit, gets stronger as it gets larger, and distributes stress universally throughout the structure. Hundreds of thousands of geodesic domes have been produced, of every dimension, from playground to stadium size. They have been distributed throughout the world, and used in the most hostile environments, for the most critical applications. The geodesic dome has become a symbol of the future, and more important, it is a symbol of and a model for the unlimited capacity humanity has achieved to clear-span world problems and envelop humanity universally in life-support abundance. If you're still waiting for the world's leaders to lead the world out of poverty and failure and into universal success for all, you haven't learned the lessons Buckminster Fuller taught. Only a complete failure could be compelled enough to find a compelling vision for the achievement of complete success for all humanity. Everyone else is too complacent in their position to be moved to such vision. It's a race between utopia and oblivion. ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 19:31:05 -0400 Reply-To: Michael Stutz Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Michael Stutz Subject: Re: Syn-l: Re: A Fuller Explanation Comments: To: synergetics-l@teleport.com In-Reply-To: <35FD9440.B6911833@wolfenet.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 14 Sep 1998, Karl Erickson wrote: > Michael Stutz wrote: > > HTML is a final step in the process, not a starting point. > > but if it's the difference between the job getting done or not, does it > really matter? But the job is not done! If an etext exists only as an arbitrarily-formatted HTML document (and with some of the structural data of the original missing), you lose most of the benefits of _having_ an etext in the first place. Work will have to be redone. It is not the most efficient way of doing things. I think this thing got started when Trevor talked about lack of ALT data in Mark's online _A Fuller Explanation_. I guess I feel that you're criticizing me (and possibly Trevor) for bringing these kind of things up when we ourselves were not the ones doing the work of putting these documents on the Web. Would it have been better to not share the knowledge, and just accept that _A Fuller Explanation_ "is online," or do people deserve to know how to do things the right way? (I should add that none of what I wrote has been directed toward Mark.) > or should the technically less knowledgeable not volunteer? It takes a lot less technical knowledge to do data entry, or to proofread, or even create a textfile than it does to make an html document. > your advice is presumably sound, but i can easily imagine someone (not > necessarily Mark) saying to themselves "hmm, if it requires learning all > that, then i guess i won't do it". a timely kluge is sometimes better than > delayed precision. Not for Fuller. He never made public with a prototype that was not thoroughly tested; one of his principles was that one should always use the best materials and construction methods. ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 18:45:28 GMT Reply-To: urner@alumni.princeton.edu Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Kirby Urner Subject: Re: More re Videogrammatron MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit urner@alumni.princeton.edu (Kirby Urner) wrote: > >10.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit First off, I'm not sure who all the players are in this unfolding web melodrama being, that I are the mostest novice here, or where some of the quotes have come from. And second there has never been any indication on my part that I knew what I was doing. I went out of my way to communicate that the publishing of anything on the web or otherwise was totally new territory for me. So Mr. Trevor and or Mr. PO box whatever whatever, where the hell were you, then, with all your unselfish web publishing gifts and/or of wisdom? Karl has been very helpful and a hell of a lot more supportive than anyone (even though he uses like really big words sometimes) especially the so called experts.I haven't acted on all of Karl's suggestions. Now unless there is another web sitet with the book, A fuller Explanation, Michael, one can only assume that there is an extremely high probability that you were referring to my work A Fuller Explanation. So you're really lying, Michael when you say you didn't address me to a greater degree than you admitted. Tch Tch (Did I spell Tch right?) Now concerning the alt message or whatever one calls them. A soon as I get done screwing with the blind family down the street I might make time to to put the tags in place. That's of course after I park my 4x4 on the nearest wheel chair ramp. (4 by 4's look really cool parked on a slope like that, it's like the Jeep Cherokee commercials you know). Also did it ever dawn on you Treavor and or PO box whatever whatever, that maybe I don't really like Bucky after all or that I knew your anal retentiveness would make you stop reading the book on the second page because I new without the alt tags your panties would get up in a bind and stop you dead in your tracks because I really didn't want you specifically to read it all along? You know if you can do better I really invited to put up Amy's book on the web somewhere. Treavor and PO box ...whatever whatever 's technology is sound but both your attitudes suck big time. Not yours so much Micheal you did leave some useful links which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for that Brian Hutchings guy, he always leaves crappy links. I've trained apprentices in about a half dozen shops in the northwest and I've found that the approach you guys use doesn't train it maims. And if you had really paid attention to the progress and evolution of the online book you'd have noticed that it did progress and did evolve and I still have some more ideas, which may not be the way to put a book on the web, but guess what? I've found inconsistencies among the experts on how a book should be published on the web anyways. Fancy that. So I really don't give a flying fuck what the so called experts think about how I experiment to learn to make not only just web pages but a usable web sight. According to one of the links you put up Micheal, I also did a lot of things correct, at least according some experts. So there. umph. Well that's all for now ..... Oh yea except for one thing. Daniel, that site that the supposed Caolini is pushing is likely a commercial web site set up by some fat balding guy who makes money by posting messages like that on a variety of message servers and boards so guys will go to his sight and spend money. Come to think of it maybe I should do the same to promote "A Fuller Explanation"? And finally......... oh never mind. ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 20:06:24 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: "Lawrence E.

For IMG ALT tags, I created a PERL program that parsed an HTML page, taking the address of each IMG and, if there was not a filled ALT entry, searched the IMG address location for a text file (ending in ".ALT") that contained the "default" text description. The description was then added to the page code. Another PERL program produced an index of thumbnail pictures AND ALT default text for page developers to use.

I am sure you will continue to polish the project as time and resources allow, and I wouldn't ever ask for more. Fuller often refused to answer temper tantrums like yours ("I don't fight forces, I use them") but I'm not Bucky and would rather be an ally than ignore you (as he would have, perhaps for the rest of your life).

When I found Synergetics on the Web, it was a dream come true. Amy Edmondson's book makes a fine compliment to Synergetics on the Web and the growing list of Buckminster Fuller related eText. More such efforts are needed, and I hope to see more in the future. Are you planning to put on the web any other works? It gives me a warm excited glow inside to see such a growing virtual-community of people and resources on the web dedicated to the betterment of humanity as Buckminster Fuller envisioned. And I've saved the links and suggestions on publishing eText on the net, just in case I need to use them myself sometime. For more than twenty-years, I've been waiting for libraries to become electronically accessible, as Fuller envisioned long ago, and thanks to people like you, Robert Gray and others, it's finally happening.

I think, the appeal is being heard, following a pointless dysmissal. you are wonderfully astute, re the NSC (Naional Security Council), esp.as nothing may have been changed "structurally", since Sir George facillitated his crimes, thereby, with his Exec.Order 12333, and dependant NSDDs (2 and 3, whose temporal order is 3, 2, to work the attempted coup); this is all in the sigfile, below. your placement of Gorbachov is meaningless, without the situatiiom of Bush, Thatcher and Mitterand,, as well, aligned against "the Fourth Reich" of Kohl. were not Gorby and his wife, Raisa, self-described Old Believers when it suited them, playing off of the Russian Orthodox Millenium, then? speaking of "3rd Romes" amd milleniums, Gore was just found to be manipulating the *continuation* of the IMF policies from his vacation in Hawaii, laying low, by calling Yeltsin, Chernomyrdin, Kieryenko, Chernomyrdin again, to undercut Clinton & Rubin's policy of having the IMF "work with Russia", instead of the other way'round; why?... because, apparently, IMF hand-maiden, Chernomyridn, may have been *arrested*, along with the Big Seven mobsters who benefited from the Hahvahd "shock therapy", to accompany the debt-moratorium and devaluation. in other words, Gore pulled an "I'm in charge, here!", and is egging-on the second-hand on the *Concerned Scientists'* T-minus-1-amd-counting clock -- yeeha. see, I agree with you; I see it as an opportunity for the programme d'espace (as opposed to "freemarkettechnolunacy" -- yahoo !-) and now, we go back to the Voice of Advanced Studies: --The End of History -- continueth! http://www.tarpley.net/bush23.htm ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1998 03:28:05 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Mark Somers Subject: A Fuller Explanation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Trevor, the mere fact that you would extend apologies too me, makes them very easy to accept. I can only hope you will accept my apologies, for my diatribe. ( I guess that's the best description of what I did although temper tantrum fits pretty good too.) I obviously misread your intentions. I'd be a damn fool to ignore you. My parents unfortunately raised me and my siblings to be fools but I'm trying to change that. Although nothing in the contents of "A Fuller Explanation" is mine, I most certainly agonized over all the nuts and bolts of trying to get it online in a usable form. I had no idea there is a thing called a 'Linux browser', I doubt if I'm describing the browser that you use correctly even now. I've always used Netscape so given my unfamiliarity with making pages I started to build the site looking through Netscape exclusively. I then discovered that Explorer looked different especially in that it didn't display the CSS mill that I think works great with Netscape because it allowed me to indent paragraphs just like in a real book, and create the fonts on the cover page, which I tried to make identical to the real hard cover book. Explorer doesn't seem to support CSS mill. So I had to rewrite about 90% of the pages. I'd like to put the design science logo at the top too but I haven't figured out how to generate it with Pov Ray. I wanted, maybe mistakenly, for the web pages to have a look and feel of a well made book, that's one of my ideas of quality. I gave up my idea that it should look like a work book, which I think it semi-kinda is, in that it relies heavily on illustrations, in lew of thumbnails. In my excitement to get the book on the web I took the position of getting it on the web come hell or high water. My first objective was to put as much text, to all the text on line then worry about illustrations next. I haven't the slightest idea what the other text files are except of course the ones generated by my scanner's OCR and Picture making programs. I put illustrations in JPG because I understood that JPG loads the quickest. I left the page numbers as is on the contents pages because I wanted to give the reader some sort of sense in their position on the site, plus of course the feel of a real book. Even though the numbers on the contents page are somewhat irrelevant in relation to the web pages I'm willing to bet that Mr. Fuller would even appreciate the idea of the page numbers lending the feel of a real book even though it's not his book but Amy Edmondson's. I stayed away from creating frames so that it would be easy for someone to bookmark pages. My illustration pages are still orphans. I didn't want to put back links in because although I haven't done it yet there are references to illustrations web pages away from where the illustrations are originally introduced with their thumbnails. Now that I've read some more stuff about books on the web I think it would be a good idea to put a "To Contents" button between each of all the sets of "Back" and "Next" buttons on each page. I can see that for the footnotes I need to show them up better, they don't show up hardly at all with Explorer. I won't bad mouth Explorer here and now because I'm going to civilized. I may have to end up brightening the footnotes color wise in the text, then listing them at the bottom of the page with their appropriate links. And of course the alt tags. I'd like to create the Acrobat Reader files for the book too but as yet I have no idea how to go about it. And as far as I know I'll have to shell out some money for the program to create those files. And I don't have the rich friends for backers that Bucky had, Micheal. Trevor if any pages were ever built bass ackward. I'll be the first one to admit .. These be it. Believe it or not in the jewelry trade I'm called a perfectionists by some very accomplished master craftsmen, who I hold in great regard because I consider them the perfectionists. A good friend of mine said I was a purist more than a perfectionist. Maybe that's why I'm drawn over and over again to synergetics? Diamond with it's perfect crystal lattice is incredibly intriguing to me. Thank you.

Fuller deserves to be on the cover, nothing less. Ideally, it would be a 10-20k word piece (like that huge "hacker tourist" piece last year) giving a condensed tour of it all for the newbies (I can't tell you how many people my age have never even _heard_ of Fuller) as well as covering new, related work -- so the dream would be to accomplish something like a _BuckyWorks II_. If/when this could or would happen I can't yet say. There are other publications who could give more ink to Fuller and Synergetics, as well. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1998 06:40:03 -0800 Reply-To: bward@metro.net Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Bruce Ward Organization: chh yeh right… Subject: Re: BOYCOTT !!

Consequently we've been experiencing intermediate power outages here, some that have been crashing my computer. Twice already tonight, so that as I type this I'm aware this message could get deleted. This same Power company last spring pushed through legislation making it illegal for the citizens here to buy power from any other suppliers for the next four years. The horse crap they told the citizens here was that it was in their, the citizens, own interest that they not be allowed to purchase power outside of the state because the people outside the state were carpetbaggers who would rip them off, if they bought their electrical power. And of course the people here believed the shit. Since I hate chopping wood it looks like a fuel cell or solar cells maybe in my future. hahahaha. I live in the largest town of Montana so I'm curious as to what is really going on now that the conservatives created a free market for power nation wide and yet the local powers that be, seem to be, at least here, pulling political shenanigans trying to help their buddies, instead of promoting something like solar power or fuel cell power, etc. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1998 23:16:08 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Mark Somers Subject: Happy "cold war" days are here again.

Insanity is a prerequisite to being in congress. I don't take those idiots terribly seriously in the first place. As Fuller pointed out once you could put all the politicians on a spaceship circling the sun and their wouldn't be much impact on the planets citizenry but take all the machines we have and dump them in a pile in the ocean and you'd have about 2 billion or so dead people in about six months to a year. My point being that now that maybe the Russians are going to get their production shit together under a policy that will in all likely hood include the nationalization of the machinery of production, will the powers that be in the west see the Russians up coming economic success as a threat and redeclare the cold war? The cold war in the first place was one of economics not ideology.

And we brought in each batch from the streets, from the buses and the railroads, we brought in peop from every nook and cranny of U.S. society, virtually. We put them together in training platoons in the training centers. A cleaned them up, we educated them, we made them functional. "The first step of this was, of course, in the CCC.

The big challenge for us today, is to not only ch the mind of the President and people around him, to bring the to a higher level of thinking and discipline, and commitment, also to think of our general citizenry, who are demoralized, have lost the mental skills for making decisions which their had, or maybe they had 30 years ago.

You're going to deal much more seriously, with your friends and neighbors, an people you meet otherwise, to realize they need something els They don't need to be merely kicked and told what to do, or b given suggestions, and then you walk away, and see if they ca them out.

He said that he had no use for it. If he had been asked what to do with the presidency, he would have probably said eliminate it entirely. Buckminster Fuller envisioned a true democracy where the people voted to decide the issues, learned from their mistakes, and corrected them through their vote. Not this false representative democracy, where the people vote for who will represent and make decisions for us, and who then go and represent the big money interest. This is why so few people vote. At the same time, any government of the world was welcome to use any artifact or idea of his. Buckminster Fuller was a consultant to many foreign governments and world leaders. Much of his advanced work was done for the US military. He was Head Engineer for the US Department of Economic Warfare during World War II. Buckminster Fuller cultivated a lot of friends and received a lot of recognition from people in the government and military, beginning with his stint in the Navy, where his engineering prowess was well noticed. Ed Applewhite, Fuller's collaborator on Synergetics, worked for the CIA for many years, and held a top administrative position in that agency. If not for his many friends in government and the military, he probably would have never received the US Medal of Freedom. He said that the government didn't come to him for assistance until they had first spent a lot of money without coming up with any worthwhile solutions to the problem. The Pentagon declared the domes he designed for them, the first major advance in mobile military structures in 3,000 years. And don't forget about the radomes he designed for the nuclear Defense Early Warning system. Fuller said that advanced technology, from mathematics to light bulbs, etc., was always first adopted and advanced by the military and later filters down into domestic use, and in the process providing ever more life support for ever more humans. This process aided the survival and advancement of society. He called this doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons, and believed that one day a crisis would force humans to mobilize our resources to do all the right things for all the right reasons. ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 20:21:48 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Mark Somers Subject: Critical threshold.

But what bothers me is from your one post you seemed to indicate that the planet would need a global failure before it'll get around to being a global success. I equate global failure as in involving global war. Now for another point: Technological development leads to, doing more with less in that context we are slowly evolving weather on a war footing or not. In other words we (humans) will continue to do more with less as our technologies evolve closer to mother natures technologies. So where's the critical threshold? The super power's did not give up their nuclear weapons and the relative few (sic) can be easily retargeted in a matter of minutes and has I pointed out earlier the cold war was declared on the Soviets threat to western economic success, and not on some silly ideology. Therefor if the Russians start getting their economic act together and the conservatives in the west have a chance to say. Uh .. uh ... the evil empire is up to it's old tricks again, and the conservatives can find a way to convince the public to believe that, then it's back to the old cold war crap again. And this time around we may not be so lucky. When and where do we, and I don't mean the extraordinarily few people that read these messages, change our minds and work consciously to do the right things for the right reason? ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 02:55:37 GMT Reply-To: urner@alumni.Princeton.EDU Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Kirby Urner Subject: Re: President Fuller In-Reply-To: <36005FA0.8AF98AF4@SpaceshipEarth.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT On Wed, 16 Sep 1998 20:02:25 -0500, you wrote: >Buckminster Fuller envisioned a true democracy where the people voted to >decide the issues, learned from their mistakes, and corrected them through >their vote.

Those who make headway using the political machinery participate with a lot more commitment (and a lot more leverage) than their "one person one vote" privilege allows them. That being said, I agree the Fuller forecast an electronified world wherein a lot more immediate polling and "steering by the numbers" would be feasible -- a closing of feedback loops in real time in such a way as to give the average individual more chances to operate the controls. >Fuller said that advanced technology, from mathematics to light bulbs, etc., >was always first adopted and advanced by the military and later filters down >into domestic use, and in the process providing ever more life support for >ever more humans. There is some historical validity to this view, but the part about going from Class II to Class I evolution, switching from "fear" to "longing" as a primary motivator, is about giving the military some respite from always having to stare death in the face on the front lines of some impending doom. As participants in a democracy, we need to be about steering in such a way that our military isn't abused as a cost of others giving in to unfettered greed, and/or ignorant reflex-conditioning. >This process aided the survival and advancement of society. >He called this doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons, and >believed that one day a crisis would force humans to mobilize our resources to >do all the right things for all the right reasons. Yes, that's what he believed -- and not just him. Einstein has that famous quote about needing to think at a different level if we're going to solve the problems created at the old level. I think he was on target with that remark. Don't forget that Fuller's network extended globally, including into the UN. The design science revolution was never conceived by him as some exclusive USA thing. The Balinese chiefs have sway in this world, even if the TV pundits don't get it that they do.

But seems we humans are existentially thrown into circumstances where we have inescapable responsibility for stuff i.e. to "not steer" is to make a choice, as much as "to steer" -- we're responsible either way, for actions or inactions as the case may be. I think most ideologies give the individual a sense of having a place in some system with steering possibilities, but in point of fact many humans are unclear on the concept of "precession" (shifting to a Fuller-style analysis) and so tackle problems in ways that appear "straightforward" or "head on", but which appear awkward in retrospect, if trimtabbing is really what we're about. Partly why I think the design science revolution (1985-1995) was not headline news on CNN is because trimtabbing isn't easily captured in 20 second stories about isolated events. Check 'precession' in 'Critical Path' for more on this -- I'd be curious as to where on the SI spectrum to put 'trimtabbing' as an MO.

The posting, 'From complete failure to complete success for all humanity' was referring strictly to personal failure, and not global failure. After the break up of the Soviet Union, there was some inspiring progress made in disarmament, though this has been reversed some with the call by Republicans for rebuilding the military. Rearmament is not supported by the majority of Americans, but that never stopped the powers that be from making a fast buck in the killing industry. In it's condition, Russia is certainly a danger, though many experts say it is too weak to be a threat, but it is also an opportunity (as in every adversity offers an opportunity). They need a Design Science Revolution bad, as does the whole the world. Brian Hutchings recent comments about Russia having the potential of becoming an exporter of machine tool production and an Alaska-Siberia based Earthala are relevant in this respect. For some time now I've thought about the potential of a US-Russia cooperative based project of this nature, based in Central Texas. I'll introduce that proposal in the near future. A greater security threat than Russia appears to be nuclear, biological, and chemical terrorism. Some of the hungry Russian scientist that could be applying their expertise to the Design Science Revolution may already be selling their expertise to terrorist nations and organizations. 'So where's the critical threshold?' Fuller's answer, unfortunately, is that the critical threshold is on the brink of oblivion. Fuller said that it would be touch and go to the very end. He said that it may already be too late. As Fuller saw, and as anyone can see, humanity tends to wait until the last minute to act, even in the face of a growing crisis. The year 2000 computer bug is a good current example. Buckminster Fuller related his personal crisis to global crisis in the following passage from page 252 in Critical Path. 'The emergency-political adjustment will go on until, in the stress of ever-greater emergency, society spontaneously adopts all of our critical path's artifacts. The great emergencies may finally force political society to "do the right things" for the right reasons. (I found my way into so doing half a century ago, as occasioned, however, only by total crises in my own life -- why should not others do so?) If political society does decide to do the right tasks for the right reasons, it will probably find our critical-path artifacts to be both cogently and specifically essential.' And two other interesting quotes from Critical Path. 'Evolutionary events.. have, during the last half-century, gone critical -- bringing humanity to a moment of crisis adequate in magnitude to springboard humanity into oblivion or into a relatively utopian future.' -- Buckminster Fuller. Critical Path. 'All the.. class-one evolutionary trending provides powerful long-distance prognostication data. Keeping track of the integrated ephemeralization and acceleration trends and their socioeconomic resultants, per each world human, made possible my 1938 Nine Chains to the Moon and my 1950 magazine-published prognostication that by 2000 A.D. all humanity either would be enjoying a higher but generally unfamiliar standard of living than any humans had ever known -- or would have altogether perished.' -- Buckminster Fuller. Critical Path Time to push the fast forward button and speed up the process of human development to conform with our space age potentials, and pull humanity out of the gravity of the black hole of chaos. ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 14:00:19 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Joe S Moore Subject: Re: re.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In the early 70's I worked for a copper mine in southern Arizona. At the time they were in the process of building what they called the smelter of the future. Now a days they're called acid plants. I was laid off when the new smelter went on line. After reading Bucky's book "Critical Path" and taking some college level courses in chemistry it dawned on me what had happened. First off the name given to the new smelter was very misleading I looked up the patents and found that the "Smelter of the Future" was R&D'd in 1936. The old way of smelting copper "Sulfide ore" was to "roast" it. Pile it up in a furnace and burn it. That process is still used today to smelt sulfur ores. The "roasting" produces Sulfur dioxide and the people living around the smelters eventually sued the smelter operators because of the acid rain it created locally. and not so locally (They real built those smoke stacks high) The mining companies complained that they could never afford the scrubbers needed on the smoke stacks to clean up the Sulfur dioxide emissions so the federal government stepped in and gave the mining concerns the money to install the scrubbers. I was called back to work after about 8 months and told I'd have to work in the new acid plant as a laborer until my old slot as a mechanic electrician opened up again. They tried to cohourst me into giving up my old position as mechanic and when I refused they gave me all the really nasty labor jobs. I learned a lot about the acid plant by not being a specialist and asking the chemical engineers questions as I chauffeured them around the plant. I learned the prices of the acid for instance that was coming into the plant and it's source. The source was the scrubbers sitting on top of the old smoke stacks operating in other parts of the state that the federal government paid for, in the process of saving the environment. The acid plant electrowined (Smelted) the oxide copper ores that were stock piled over many decades as tailings. To this day very few people understand what went on. When I see a smoke stack I look at it from the stand point of that the stuff coming out is perfectly good raw materials in the wrong place. A few years ago a copper company decided to build a new sulfide smelter across the border in Sonora Mexico. They didn't include a scrubber. The astute governor of Sonora let them finish building their plant but then wouldn't allow them to start operations until they built, not only the scrubber, but the acid plant that utilized the Sulfuric acid that the scrubbers produced to electrowin the Copper nitrate ores. It was a smart move by that governor but right now the country of Mexico can't even lay the biggest replacement of copper wire, "fiber optic cable" fast enough for the new demands for telecommunications. Cellular and satellite phones aren't products of individual prestige in Mexico, they're a necessity. Copper doesn't even have to be mined today, as exemplified above, there is more than enough in above ground mines. Even in the mid seventies they could have stopped mining the stuff, but at the time copper was considered a cold war strategic metal, and the federal government was even subsidizing some of the operations at the mine I was working at. I also found out from a friend of mine working in the research labs of "Andaconda Mining" that they were no longer doing any research and development in Copper but were, as of about the mid eighties, doing R and D in Titanium. I worked for a metals casting company as the in house artist and found, believe it or not, the metal vendors that mined the slush metals that we used to make our product insisting that their metal was better because it was "virgin" from the ground. I looked at the periodic table and couldn't find a category called "virgin" metals. We immediately started using that "whorish" old used metal that their competitors were selling, and selling cheaper. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 22:54:51 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Michael Riversong Subject: Tutoring Survey Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Howdy -- The opinions of people on the Geodesic List are very valuable.

Yea, but it's a long row to hoe!) Humanity still lives in the Dark Ages of poverty and hunger caused by ignorance. A new agricultural revolution is necessary to give birth to a truly 'Scientific Civilization.' Agriculture is the backbone of civilization. Without agricultural development there can be no peace, no freedom and no human development. Throughout history, human progress has been directly linked to developments in agriculture. History shows that civilizations rise and collapse along with their agriculture and natural resource base. Three agricultural revolutions have allowed humanity to survive and prosper to the present day. The domestication and cultivation of food crops 10,000 years ago created an agricultural revolution that gave rise to the first ancient civilizations. Genetic breeding and improved cultivation techniques created a second agricultural revolution in the 1700s which gave rise to the Industrial Revolution, which in turn industrialized agriculture. The Green Revolution in genetic breeding in the 1970s prevented a world-wide famine, but only by a small margin. Agriculture faces many formidable new challenges: genetic erosion, resistant pests and diseases, water shortages, soil erosion, urban expansion, increasingly unpredictable weather, lack of new arable lands, population growth, farmers displaced by war, and more. These problems not only challenge agriculture but are a challenge to civilization. Over the next 30 years of population growth we must get twice the yield from every acre of land just to maintain current levels of poverty and malnutrition. The times demand a new agricultural revolution. It is now technologically and economically feasible to launch a new revolution in agriculture that will banish poverty and hunger to the Dark Ages of history and give birth to a truly 'scientific civilization.' The next agricultural revolution will make or break humanity. It's a race between utopia and oblivion. 'Our future security now depends... on developing new, more productive farming technologies.' -- Lester R. Brown Planting Trees: A Comprehensive Solution to World Problems The regreening of the earth is reported by experts in many fields to be the only cure for many world problems and prevention of future global disasters. Environmental experts, such as Lester R. Brown of the World Watch Institute, report that it's necessary to conduct a world wide tree planting effort similar in intensity to a mobilization for war. Without such an effort scientist claim that many environmental problems of a catastrophic nature cannot be prevented from occurring in the near future. Planting trees produces surprising positive feedback effects contributing to almost every major and minor local and global problem. It's a major solution to major world problems. 'Planting and growing increasing quantities of trees is the scientific solution to Earth's environmental dilemma.' -- Dr. Richard St Barb Baker The World Peace Garden The synergetic forces of the Earth's biosphere, it's air currents, ocean currents, solar, geologic, and biological forces have converged on the equator, in the Central Andean country of Ecuador, on the West Coast of South America, to create a model biosphere of the Earth, encompassing 28 of the earth's 30 basic life-zones, from tropic to arctic, and desert to pluvial, with altitudes ranging from sea-level to alpine, all within a country about the size of the state of Colorado. The climate, soils, and plant life are so fragmented that a single farm may encompass wet and dry, and mild and frigid climates, and several varieties of soils and types of vegetation. Ecologist marvel and are awed by the incredible diversity. The small country of Ecuador houses essentially every climate type found on Earth and is widely considered to have the highest diversity of plant species found anywhere in the world. Ecuador is a natural "climatron" adaptable to the culture of almost any of the world's flora, yet there is no botanical garden of major importance located in Ecuador. As a model biosphere of the Earth, and world center of biological diversity, located on the equator, at the geographic center of the planer, Ecuador is ideally situated for a world-class botanical garden representing the diversity of our planet, and an international site of learning about life. The World Peace Garden will be a place where cultures from every region of the world can come together in an international spirit of cooperation and ethnic pride to build a Garden of the World, and a symbol of unity and diversity. Due to the unique and very fragmented nature of Ecuador's environment, the World Peace Garden may be situated in a small valley, where, within the distance of a few feet, the natural climate will range from tropic to temperate, and wet to dry. The natural climate may be manipulated and varied further utilizing the design principles of microclimatology. The World Peace Garden proposes three highly educational gardening layouts: a garden modeled on the 35 floristic regions of the world; the 12 world centers of diversity for our food and economic crops (the Central Andes is one); and phylogenetic gardens, which are family trees for plants, designed as gardening beds, laid out in a way that lets you see the relationship that exist between closely related kinds of plants. The Peru - Ecuador Peace Sanctuary The resolution to a long standing border dispute between Ecuador and Peru in a sparsely populated, but rich biological region of the Amazon Basin is the establishment of this region as an International Peace Sanctuary jointly administered by Ecuador, Peru and neighboring countries. Border disputes similar to this one lie simmering in many regions of the world. The establishment of the Peru - Ecuador Peace Sanctuary could set an example for the peaceful resolution of border disputes around the globe. Universal Peace Garden The Earth is the gene bank of the universe, and we are burning it to the ground. But through the mobilization of a vast army of paradise builders, we will regreen the Earth from the arctic to the desert and from the sea shores to the mountain tops, and rebuild the Earth greater than it ever could have been before upon the foundation of a planet that we almost completely destroyed. And from here -- proceeding on to the planets spreading the miracle of life throughout the universe.

If you want any credit at all for helping to make this a brighter and more democratic tomorrow, you'd better get those party whips a crackin'. Or watch the limelight shift away again, with you folks holding no more cards this time (the war option won't work -- we've switched the phasers and photon torpedos to engineering, given all the buffoons on the bridge).

Much has been written about this, but I'm not able to take the time to post a bibliography on the subject. It's widely held that about 10,000 years ago (not long after the end of the last Ice Age) a number of cultures, on almost every inhabited continent, almost simultaneously began domesticating and cultivating food crops which allowed them to forego their nomadic foraging and to settle into stable communities which fostered the development of the arts and sciences. History also shows the collapse of many societies and civilizations, all over the world, as a result of the collapse of their agriculture and natural resource base. The Maya in Guatemala shows evidence of this. I believe the Anasazi in the Southwest USA also. And other cultures I cannot name. Perhaps the most relevant to the concept of Spaceship Earth is Easter Island, which, like the Earth itself, is limited in territory. The soil became eroded and unproductive. They ran out of wood to make canoes for fishing and to use to erect their famous statues. The island collapsed into civil warfare and even cannibalism. When the island was explored by archeologist it was completely littered with arrow and spear points. >Or is it that advances in culture have created a climate for agricultural >progress? Agriculture is one of the many aspects of society and culture. If you'll study social geography, you'll see that society is grounded in the environment. There are strong feedback loops that enhance the development of culture and agriculture. Agriculture enhanced the development of the sciences by allowing people to settle into stable societies, freeing them from the time consuming task of nomadic foraging, and the sciences thus developed enhanced the development of agriculture. Developments in agriculture gave rise to the Industrial Revolution by freeing people from farm work to work in the industries, and the Industrial Revolution industrialized agriculture. These trends continue today. The results of moving from farm labor to industry are not always ideal, but have generally resulted in a higher income and higher standard of living. But we've lost touch with nature and need to regain that sense, and our farming and industries have wrecked havoc on nature. >And which did come first, the chicken or the egg? Some people think that food comes from the store. Which came first the food or the store? We've lost our sense of nature. 'The fact that 99 percent of humanity does not understand nature is the prime reason for humanity's failure to exercise it's option to attain universally sustainable physical success on this planet.' -- Buckminster Fuller.

Planting trees may be a "good thing", but it is NOT a "positive feedback effect". You have got the sign wrong AND misused the term "feedback". ALL self-actuated error-correcting feedback is negative. ALWAYS. Positive feedback tends toward runaway oscillation and is systemically destructive. Positive feedback is exemplified by the "more is better" syndrome. "If more gas is good (you go faster), then More gas must be better!" Wrong. The engine blows up. "If Oxygen is good (you die without it), then More Oxygen must be better!" Wrong. Your lungs burn up. Breathing is a negative feedback function. Your body has no mechanism for detecting a shortage of Oxygen. What is monitored is an overabundance of CO2. You are forced to breathe in order to reduce this. Negative feedback. The output goal is homeostasis, not "more". Positive DOES NOT EQUAL "good". Negative DOES NOT EQUAL "bad". Getting the sign wrong can reduce a lot of hard work to garbage. Go study some cybernetics. > >It's A Race Between Utopia And Oblivion! ...and the fix is in...

If it were, we'd be living in utopia already. Humanity has an overwhelming technological capacity to resolve the worlds many pressing life support problems, but not the will, the vision, or the understanding to do it. I've recognized this fact from early childhood. The answer is metaphysical and not physical. The need is not for new technologies, but for new arts, new communications and new symbolisms to inspire humanity with the knowledge, the vision, the will and the wisdom to work together and use the capacity we have to achieve life support abundance for all. What we need is a convincing and compelling vision for the achievement of complete physical success for all humanity -- a vision so compelling that it must be realized. I see that people in this newsgroup are working toward that end.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Brian you've got quite the sense of humor, and anyways Bill can't get stoned because he doesn't inhale. But seriously folks. I'm going to research the the idea of creating Online voting. It's seems exactly what Mr. Fuller suggested in one of his books. I think it was in "Critacal path" you could even short circuit the local city counsel by carring out community involved voting from day to day or week to week etc. State legislation to national etc. Really letting ones voice be heard. The internet would allow for online discussion and debate prior to the a vote being taken. I also believe that as Bucky pointed out that people would self police their involvement because they would not be out of the loop ergo powerless.

Yea, but it's a long row to hoe!) Humanity still lives in the Dark Ages of poverty and hunger caused by ignorance. A new agricultural revolution is necessary to give birth to a truly 'Scientific Civilization.' Agriculture is the backbone of civilization. Without agricultural development there can be no peace, no freedom and no human development. Throughout history, human progress has been directly linked to developments in agriculture. History shows that civilizations rise and collapse along with their agriculture and natural resource base. Three agricultural revolutions have allowed humanity to survive and prosper to the present day. The domestication and cultivation of food crops 10,000 years ago created an agricultural revolution that gave rise to the first ancient civilizations. Genetic breeding and improved cultivation techniques created a second agricultural revolution in the 1700s which gave rise to the Industrial Revolution, which in turn industrialized agriculture. The Green Revolution in genetic breeding in the 1970s prevented a world-wide famine, but only by a small margin. Agriculture faces many formidable new challenges: genetic erosion, resistant pests and diseases, water shortages, soil erosion, urban expansion, increasingly unpredictable weather, lack of new arable lands, population growth, farmers displaced by war, and more. These problems not only challenge agriculture but are a challenge to civilization. Over the next 30 years of population growth we must get twice the yield from every acre of land just to maintain current levels of poverty and malnutrition. The times demand a new agricultural revolution. It is now technologically and economically feasible to launch a new revolution in agriculture that will banish poverty and hunger to the Dark Ages of history and give birth to a truly 'scientific civilization.' The next agricultural revolution will make or break humanity. It's a race between utopia and oblivion. 'Our future security now depends... on developing new, more productive farming technologies.' -- Lester R. Brown Planting Trees: A Comprehensive Solution to World Problems The regreening of the earth is reported by experts in many fields to be the only cure for many world problems and prevention of future global disasters. Environmental experts, such as Lester R. Brown of the World Watch Institute, report that it's necessary to conduct a world wide tree planting effort similar in intensity to a mobilization for war. Without such an effort scientist claim that many environmental problems of a catastrophic nature cannot be prevented from occurring in the near future. Planting trees produces surprising positive feedback effects contributing to almost every major and minor local and global problem. It's a major solution to major world problems. 'Planting and growing increasing quantities of trees is the scientific solution to Earth's environmental dilemma.' -- Dr. Richard St Barb Baker The World Peace Garden The synergetic forces of the Earth's biosphere, it's air currents, ocean currents, solar, geologic, and biological forces have converged on the equator, in the Central Andean country of Ecuador, on the West Coast of South America, to create a model biosphere of the Earth, encompassing 28 of the earth's 30 basic life-zones, from tropic to arctic, and desert to pluvial, with altitudes ranging from sea-level to alpine, all within a country about the size of the state of Colorado. The climate, soils, and plant life are so fragmented that a single farm may encompass wet and dry, and mild and frigid climates, and several varieties of soils and types of vegetation. Ecologist marvel and are awed by the incredible diversity. The small country of Ecuador houses essentially every climate type found on Earth and is widely considered to have the highest diversity of plant species found anywhere in the world. Ecuador is a natural "climatron" adaptable to the culture of almost any of the world's flora, yet there is no botanical garden of major importance located in Ecuador. As a model biosphere of the Earth, and world center of biological diversity, located on the equator, at the geographic center of the planer, Ecuador is ideally situated for a world-class botanical garden representing the diversity of our planet, and an international site of learning about life. The World Peace Garden will be a place where cultures from every region of the world can come together in an international spirit of cooperation and ethnic pride to build a Garden of the World, and a symbol of unity and diversity. Due to the unique and very fragmented nature of Ecuador's environment, the World Peace Garden may be situated in a small valley, where, within the distance of a few feet, the natural climate will range from tropic to temperate, and wet to dry. The natural climate may be manipulated and varied further utilizing the design principles of microclimatology. The World Peace Garden proposes three highly educational gardening layouts: a garden modeled on the 35 floristic regions of the world; the 12 world centers of diversity for our food and economic crops (the Central Andes is one); and phylogenetic gardens, which are family trees for plants, designed as gardening beds, laid out in a way that lets you see the relationship that exist between closely related kinds of plants. The Peru - Ecuador Peace Sanctuary The resolution to a long standing border dispute between Ecuador and Peru in a sparsely populated, but rich biological region of the Amazon Basin is the establishment of this region as an International Peace Sanctuary jointly administered by Ecuador, Peru and neighboring countries. Border disputes similar to this one lie simmering in many regions of the world. The establishment of the Peru - Ecuador Peace Sanctuary could set an example for the peaceful resolution of border disputes around the globe. Universal Peace Garden The Earth is the gene bank of the universe, and we are burning it to the ground. But through the mobilization of a vast army of paradise builders, we will regreen the Earth from the arctic to the desert and from the sea shores to the mountain tops, and rebuild the Earth greater than it ever could have been before upon the foundation of a planet that we almost completely destroyed. And from here -- proceeding on to the planets spreading the miracle of life throughout the universe.

A very neat site never the less, I've spent hours looking up patents. It is really amazing what you can find. This site also tells if the patent has expired or not. One of the things I've started to do is start a collection of dome related patents, which I don't have with me at this time.. This might make for a nice addition to the many Bucky web pages out there. The biggest thing I've found is that a lot of the patents are very similar and it would be nice to have a description of what they contain and how useful it would be to look at them. Another cute thing I found was a design for a tensigrity based chair. Kind of a neat design. Be forewarned, looking up and following patent trails can be very addictive. http://patent.womplex.ibm.com/details?patent_number=4945693 http://patent.womplex.ibm.com/details?patent_number=5732514 -Mark ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 05:11:27 +0000 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: HOOVER Organization: EarthLink Network, Inc.

One of the regulars there happens to be a top-notch consultant to the power industry, and has a lot to say on this subject. If this thread heats up i'll see if he will allow some of his comments to be reposted here. Generally it looks like a lot of this new trend will be a sham. Some of the companies that got into this game at the outset are pulling out, especially in California. Somehow i'm not surprised about what's happening in Montana. I have always had this impression that its government tended towards a weird form of corporate socialism -- an impression that was intensified after spending a week in the Judith Basin in 1996. Bucky seemed to be largely unaware of Tesla's research into the "Magnifying Power Transmitter", which was intended to use a form of radio waves to transmit universal power to everyone, without wires. Since Tesla was prevented from building this, we have no idea how well it might have worked -- so Bucky's proposal for a worldwide power grid made a lot of sense. But cheap, localized power generation, which would have to be much more efficient than any current system, would also be a form of ephemeralization, in my opinion. That's why i keep pursuing it.

Following the example of one Bucky aka Buckminster Fuller aka Guinea Pig B aka 4D, this question isn't the most useful one to ask. More than what is your name, I'd ask what function does your name perform. Fuller adopted different names for different projects / components of his personality. What is more... Why have I suggested that I remain anonymous? Out of a nostalgia for the time when, being completely unknown, what I said had some chance of being heard. The surface contact with some possible reader was without a wrinkle. The effects of the book rebounded in unforeseen places and outlined forms I hadn't thought about. The name is a facility. If I have chosen anonymity, it is not in order to criticize such and such, which I have never done. It is a way of addressing more directly the possible reader, the only character here who interests me.

Buckminster Fuller would roll over in his grave if he saw my Mathematica 3.0 notebooks based on discoveries based on his books Synergetics, 1975, and Synergetics 2, 1979, because I have dwelt on the square roots of minus unity and fractals instead of much quicker (efficient) applications using only integers (mod a prime). I did it just to show that it can be done with B numbers and Synergetics coordinates, and "the paradox of the computer" is that you can get things done now a days with inefficient methods. All of the notebooks are pre evaluated so you don't have to download the packages RBFields.m and SynCoordinates.m unless you have Mathematica 3.0 and want to experiment with them. Abstract for Bucky Number Mandelbrot: The Mandelbrot set computation iterates until a certain distance exceeds two. Two is twice the distance of unity for complex numbers. Unity for B_3 numbers is B[{1,1,-2}]. The VectorDistance function in Synergetics coordinates measures the distance by way of nearest neighbors, similar to the "manhattan" distance for perpendicular coordinates. A Mandelbot-like set is generated in this notebook, iterating until VectorDistance is twice the VectorDistance of unity for B_3 numbers. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Complexity/0209-663 Abstract for Four Triangle Fractals using Bucky Numbers and Synergetics Coordinates: B_3 numbers and my version of "Synergetics coordinates" are used to make four fractals based on the same method: the Sierpinski triangle when the Mean is used; a trefoil I call the "Harmonic Trinity" when the HarmonicMean is used; two thirds of a circle when the GeometricMean is used; and something else when the RootMeanSquare is used. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Complexity/0209-674 Abstract for the three Buckminster Fuller Notebooks: B numbers are named after Bucky Fuller. They are based on the Synergetics coordinate system. They are multi-dimensional fields over the rationals. The notebook BuckyNumbers.nb looks at the square roots of minus unity for B numbers of different dimensions. R. Buckminster Fuller wrote the books, Synergetics, published in 1975, and Synergetics 2, published in 1979, where he uses the term "Synergetics 60 degree coordinate system". Bucky wrote that he discovered the coordinate system of nature in 1940, but his books don't give concrete examples of them. That is the topic of the notebook SynergeticsCoordinates.nb. In the notebook TetraGlobe.nb the Synergetics coordinate system is used to normalize the globe to the surface of a tetrahedron, and the earth is displayed with the package WorldPlot as an unfolded tetrahedron (a triangle). http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Other/0209-450 The notebooks can be viewed with the free MathReader 3.0 if you don't have Mathematica. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/General/MathReader Cliff Nelson ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 09:27:32 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Brian Hutchings Subject: Re: A warning shot... <> Brian Hutchings 24-SEP-1998 9:27 r001806@pen2.ci.santa-monica.ca.us this "revenge" line might be called the "media-massage" line, or otherwise MacLuhanite crappola (he of the Rectal Display Unit .-) just "follow the money", and you have a guy who is *way* too rich for his or any body else's good, other than the *American Expectorator-upon* and his own *Philadelphia Enquirer*, and so on: the funder of the "Arkansas Project" at over $2M, amongst other things supporting the primary "Whitewatergate" witness, retired judge David Hale; the hot-white tip o'the iceberg? thus quoth: It's just a bunch of little boys who never got over the embarassment of Watergate and have been lusting for revenge ever since.

I offer these for sale (struts + connectors). Prefer the aluminum, which can be 1-2 inch square tube ideally. It is Reynolds 6063 type, very good for a dome. The cylinder hubs are sch. 40 or 80 pipe. Cover plate(s) can be added and rivetted or screwed on for reinforcement or to cover the hub hole. There's no need for welding as everything is bolted on, with military grade NAS hardware if so desired. What type of dome? I do several which you can see at http://www.gardendome.com (the latest at http://www.fastlane.net/~ega/dome_on_the_range.htm) If you do steel it is stronger but much heavier, costs less but takes longer to machine. Plus you have to add the anti-corrosion treatment.

No HTML this time , no Netscape, no sentences that begin with prepositions. ......................... R. Buckminster Fuller would roll over in his grave if he saw my Mathematica 3.0 notebooks based on discoveries based on his books Synergetics, 1975, and Synergetics 2, 1979, because I have dwelt on the square roots of minus unity and fractals instead of much quicker (efficient) applications using only integers (mod a prime). I did it just to show that it can be done with B numbers and Synergetics coordinates, and "the paradox of the computer" is that you can get things done now a days with inefficient methods. All of the notebooks are pre-evaluated so you don't have to download the packages RBFields.m and SynCoordinates.m unless you have Mathematica 3.0 and want to experiment with them. Abstract for Bucky Number Mandelbrot: The Mandelbrot set computation iterates until a certain distance exceeds two. Two is twice the distance of unity for complex numbers. Unity for B_3 numbers is B[{1,1,-2}]. The VectorDistance function in Synergetics coordinates measures the distance by way of nearest neighbors, similar to the "Manhattan" distance for perpendicular coordinates. A Mandelbrot-like set is generated in this notebook, iterating until the VectorDistance is twice the VectorDistance of unity for B_3 numbers. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Complexity/0209-663 Abstract for Four Triangle Fractals using Bucky Numbers and Synergetics Coordinates: B_3 numbers and my version of "Synergetics coordinates" are used to make four fractals based on the same method: the Sierpinski triangle when the Mean is used; a trefoil I call the "Harmonic Trinity" when the HarmonicMean is used; two thirds of a circle when the GeometricMean is used; and something else when the RootMeanSquare is used. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Complexity/0209-674 Abstract for the three Buckminster Fuller Notebooks: B numbers are named after Bucky Fuller. They are based on the Synergetics coordinate system. They are multi-dimensional fields over the rationals. The notebook BuckyNumbers.nb looks at the square roots of minus unity for B numbers of different dimensions. R. Buckminster Fuller wrote the books, Synergetics, published in 1975, and Synergetics 2, published in 1979, where he uses the term "Synergetics 60 degree coordinate system". Bucky wrote that he discovered the coordinate system of nature in 1940, but his books don't give concrete examples of them. That is the topic of the notebook SynergeticsCoordinates.nb. The Synergetics coordinate system is used to normalize the globe to the surface of a tetrahedron, and the earth is displayed with the package WorldPlot as an unfolded tetrahedron (a triangle), in the notebook TetraGlobe.nb. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/Applications/Other/0209-450 The notebooks can be viewed with the free MathReader 3.0 if you don't have Mathematica. http://www.mathsource.com/cgi-bin/MathSource/General/MathReader Cliff Nelson ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 17:34:43 -0700 Reply-To: "Trevor at J.

Tying this to GEODESIC though, Jay Baldwin mentions the work of Stafford Beer toward the end of "Bucky Works", and says that Beer, in his latest book, makes a connection between icosahedral arrays and data structure hierarchies. I've not seen Beer's latest, but some of his earlier titles include: Brain of the Firm: A Development in Management Cybernetics, 1972, Herder and Herder (re-released by John Wiley and Sons, 1979) The Heart of Enterprise, 1979, John Wiley and Sons (companion volume to Brain of the Firm) Platform for Change, 1975, John Wiley and Sons Designing Freedom Good luck finding this one. It was a suite of six speeches presented to, I think, the Massey Foundation through the University of Toronto in the mid seventies. Published by UoT in a small format hardcover, 100 pages. Worth finding. Also lookup the work of Norbert Wiener, Warren McCulloch, Ross Ashby and Jay Forrester Also look under the subjects of Operations Research and General Systems This kind of stuff seems to me to be as important societally as synergetic geometry. It elucidates the kinds of patterns that any gradeschooler can understand, IF he gets exposed to them. While Fuller gets the occassional newsblurb, he seems to be viewed as a little off the wall by mainstream society if his name registers at all. Cybernetics, now called the science of effective organization and previously defined as the science of communication and control in the organism and mechanism, gets even shorter shrift in the media than Fuller. Seems almost like suppression by neglect. Also, at $95 a copy, not many school libraries,let alone classrooms, are going to spring for them.

Where is the Apollo Project for humanity? If we can land a man on the moon, why can't we eliminate poverty, hunger, illiteracy and war?' The answer is, we can! Buckminster Fuller spent a lifetime studying socioeconomic trends. In 1970, immediately after the first Apollo moon landing, Buckminster Fuller discovered that as a result of the spectacular advances in science and technology achieved by the Apollo Space Program, humanity now possessed, for the first time in recorded history, the scientific know-how and technological efficiency to achieve complete physical success for all humanity within a single 'Design Science Decade.' For a generation that vision and that potential has grown and matured and is now ready to be achieved. A generation after the crash program that landed man on the moon inspired the world with a 'can do' attitude, humanity is poised on the brink of launching the greatest adventure in human history, a crash program to achieve complete physical success for all humanity: The Apollo Project for Spaceship Earth. 'Each year, I get letters from children born after humans landed on the moon. They say that they understand that I may empathize with their concern. They are familiar with all the task that were necessary to get humans to the moon and back safely. They are familiar with the Apollo Project's critical path. They know that humanity can do anything it needs to do. They wonder, "Why can't we set about to make this planet Earth work?" The young world gives increasing evidence of this level of concern. All youth borne since the 1969 moon landing are deeply familiar with the application of billions of dollars for the complex technology of the Apollo Project. The moon that for three million years had represented the unreachable had been successfully reached. The post moon-landers say. "Humanity can do anything it sets out to do. We need to make the world work for everybody on the planet. Lets get going." When they find out that I have discovered what can be technologically accomplished, they perk up their ears and roll up their sleeves.' - R. Buckminster Fuller The effort to heal the global environment... will eventually become so compelling that America will demand the [same] kind of determined effort that made the Apollo Program so productive and inspiring. Vice-president Al Gore A Challenge to the World's Leaders A challenge to the world's leaders in every field of human endeavor to rally the spirit of humanity to it's highest potential and achieve a world of peace without poverty or want. An International Grassroots Write-in, Phone-in, Fax-in, E-mail Campaign to the Leaders of the World, Asking: 'Where is the Apollo Project for Spaceship Earth?' A generation ago, as man was landing on the moon, the whole world began to ask: 'If we can land a man on the moon why can't we eliminate poverty, hunger, illiteracy, and war?' A generation later, that vision inspired by Apollo has matured and is ready to be achieved. We must now ask the world leaders: 'Where is the Apollo Project for Spaceship Earth? Where is the Apollo Project for Humanity?' Everyone knows that we have the ability to end poverty and solve the world's greatest problems, and to do so very quickly, with one great big concerted effort, like the crash program that landed man on the moon, Project Apollo. We must now show the world's leaders that we have the vision to do it, for 'when the people lead the leaders will follow.' Speeding up the Process of Human Development to Conform with our Space Age Potentials Humanity must speed up the process of human development to conform with our Space Age potentials or human affairs, unable to keep pace with population growth and resource consumption, will stall into a nose-dive, spinning hopelessly out of control. Successful Goal Setting for Spaceship Earth Research in goal setting shows that the most successful goal setting requires the establishment of and a commitment to a realistic but difficult timetable for the achievement of that goal. A difficult timetable must be set that gives urgency and immediacy to the goal and focuses the mind intently upon it's achievement. 'A date should be set for freeing the world from poverty once and for all.' -- Muhammad Yunus, Founder and director Grameen Bank of Bangladesh 'There is no example of any major undertaking in U.S. history that took longer than a decade to achieve. The transcontinental railroad, the Panama Canal, Hoover Dam, Project Apollo, and every war it won took roughly 10 years or less to complete.' -- Timothy Morgan 'We have the capability, which can be fully realized within ten years, of producing and sustaining a higher standard of living for all humanity than that ever heretofore experienced or dreamt of by any. This is not an opinion or a hope - it is an engineeringly demonstrable fact. This can be done using only the already proven technology and with the already mined, refined, and in-recirculating physical resources. This will be an inherently sustainable physical success for all humanity and all its generations to come.' -- Buckminster Fuller 'We seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of man. The modern globe is too small, it's weapons are too destructive, and it's disorders are too contagious to permit any other kind of victory.' -- John F. Kennedy A Working Model for Spaceship Earth Before his death, John F. Kennedy sought to achieve a vision for the development of the Third World that would rival his vision for the crash program to land man on the moon. The Working Model for Spaceship promises to build a bridge to all humanity leading to the fulfillment of that vision and the achievement of a worldwide victory for humanity. The synergetic forces of the Earth's biosphere, it's air currents, ocean currents, solar, geologic, and biological forces have converged on the equator, in the Central Andean country of Ecuador, on the West Coast of South America, to create a model biosphere of the Earth, encompassing 28 of the earth's 30 basic life-zones, from tropic to arctic, and desert to pluvial, with altitudes ranging from sea-level to alpine, all within a country about the size of the state of Colorado. The climate, soils, and plant life are so fragmented that a single farm may encompass wet and dry, and mild and frigid climates, and several varieties of soils and types of vegetation. Ecologist marvel and are awed by the incredible diversity. This unique diversity of microclimates and ecological regions offers the impressive opportunity to establishing a realistic Working Model For Spaceship Earth, which may be utilized as a center stage for demonstrating the techniques and technologies for the regeneration of the Earth and the sustainable development of the planet, and for the transfer of those technologies to other regions around the globe. Ecuador is a natural critical-feedback circuit for the importing and exporting of world around experience in human environmental engineering. Bringing together and demonstrating the many creative alternatives available for solving the world's environmental and life-support problems could have a profound effect in the world. The Working Model for Spaceship Earth could be a key to achieving life-support abundance for all humanity. 'We know how to solve every food, clean energy, and sensible shelter problem in every climate. We have already invented and tested every necessary technique and technical device.' -- Bill Mollison Low-Technologies in the Space Age Modern developments in technology, and modern science applied to age-old primitive technologies, has resulted in the development of many efficient, highly advanced life-support technologies that are low-technologies in their simplicity of design and function, materials used, and level of skill required for construction and operation. With levels of productivity often exceeding modern industrial technologies, they are as suitable for the First World as the Third World, and will allow developing countries to make a giant leap out of impoverishment and into life-support abundance for all.

Any transaction or energy expenditure whatsoever counts as 'work', which is defined in energy units.[1] On the other hand, in the vernacular, 'work' is a 'valued activity', something worth compensating. By decoupling its 'work' from 'valued activity', physicists have allowed themselves to value energy outlays which increase entropy, disorder or human misery as 'work'. 'Energy' is an atemporal concept, is the potential to accomplish work, to get the job done, but with no upper limit or deadline, time-wise. If the water-filled bucket comes slowly out of the well, the same 'work' is accomplished, the same 'energy' expended, as when the water-filled bucket moves with alacrity. The energy is simply the increased potential energy of the bucket against gravity -- its ability to 'do work' by falling back down the well, making a big splash at the bottom (an event many would consider a worthless outcome, after all that cranking to get something to drink). 'Power' on the other hand, is a measure of energy expended in a time frame. If you bring the bucket up more quickly, you're being more powerful, getting more work done in shorter time. So 'power' becomes a more important (relevant) concept in GST, since so many of our jobs are time-critical, and we don't just care how much energy they'll require, but what amount of time it'll take to expend this energy. We have a critical path here, and some jobs will become bottle-necks for others. Some jobs are extremely time-critical. Machinery which is able to do a lot of work in a short time needs to be allocated to the scene wherever these critical bottle-necks are most likely to occur. 'Currency units' are well-defined as 'units of current', of energy. The rate of flow of currency into job-devoted machinery is potentially a measure of its power to get work done. But if the currency flow is squandered (e.g. as heat, smoke), and the entropy increases, even thought the physicist may call this 'work', the intelligent layperson knows better. That same currency flow might have been routed into alternatively programmed circuitry that was actually capable of doing the job. Handyfolk know: having the right tools for the job is essential. The power drill was lying on the workbench, but no one had the skills to operate it, so the flow bottle-necked behind some guy with a screw driver. This was a critical path job, so the ramifications of letting energy dam up in this way were extensive, incalculable even. An enterprise or firm is a toolset, a cast of human actors surrounded by physical assets which it may know how to operate skillfully already, may be on a learning curve towards mastering, or may be into ignoring while clowning around and squandering assets, never intending to pay much attention to the tools at hand. If you're a spoiled rotten type with no interest in 'getting your hands dirty', then even with all the software and hardware available, and at very low cost, you just don't have the time. Better to drink lots of vodka and party down. Lucky for you, the IMF supports you in the style of living to which you have become accustomed, because it has a lot of the same kinds of clowns on its central boards and committees, with a thin veneer of PR-academicians employed to keep the rest of us in awe of the supposed 'smarts' concentrated in this 'economics' (their over-valued self-discipline). GST competes with Economics.[2] If you've studied a lot of economics, you probably don't have a clear understanding of what 'work' is, probably think 'power' is something political (instead of spatiotemporal), probably have little feel for the critical path, the need to run currency flows through the right power tools if you don't want your currency devalued, treated as a joke, because so obviously used to drive debased and debauched curriculum circuitry. GST works against such currency devaluation (inflation) by routing currency flows into critical path enterprises in ways appropriate to the grand strategy behind reducing human misery, creating sustainable, workable communities and societies. GST is not afraid to address the global situation, dire though it is, in a language easily intelligible to the science-minded. Obfuscation is minimized -- something the economics-trained find threatening, as demystification tends to explode the myth that economists have a clue about anything of vital importance. Current flows originate in fusion (in the sun), in BTUs buried beneath the earth (oil, natural gas), in temperature differentials (weather) and in the evaporation-condensation cycle (sun-driven, hydropower). Energy sources are everywhere available. Human intelligence comes into play in the design of circuitry consciously designed to serve human ends (the economy, a subsystem of the ecosystem). Investors study the grand strategy and survey the enterprises, the casts of characters, and route current flows in ways most likely to move us forward, net the desired returns. Investors are also players -- to invest in a scenario is not just to sit behind a desk watching little tickers, but to get out in the field and get your hands dirty. The best investors want to play on the teams they fund, and part of the return on the investment are the lifestyle benefits accruing to someone accomplishing a worthy mission, be that in providing health care, training, entertainment, or some other good or service. Cybercurrencies are not all equally 'liquid' in all contexts, become units of exchange only within specific micro-economies pretty soon after entering the human sphere. Put another way, many of the experiences or scenarios which investors might like to access are not open to those with just any kind of credit in their bank accounts. You need to have the 'right stuff' vis-a-vis a specific job. There is no "immediate transaction" when it comes to learning, gaining mastery, command and control. You have to actually apply yourself, take the training, do the work. If you don't know how to fly a jet, you can't 'buy your way' into a cockpit, as everyone knows it'd be foolish to let you fly without training. Lots of jobs require training. You can't circumvent the curriculum requirements by flashing a wad of cash. It'll just become too apparent, once on the job, that you don't have the 'right stuff'. So your investments, your application of time/energy, make a difference to your suitability, your investability, in future contexts -- every day you pay the opportunity costs of not doing A or B to further your specific goals as an investor -- and reap the benefits of doing C or D. If your resume shows a lot of Economics, but no GST, for example, then you probably need more schooling before top management jobs open up to you in some of the more powerful high tech firms -- the dollars in your bank account may help pay for the schooling, but there's no way to short-circuit the homework requirement. A lot of work-study jobs that would appear as 'dead ends' if marketed as full-time careers until 'retirement', are valuable learning experiences if made available as 'tours of duty'. If you're young, have a lot of energy, are willing to endure some difficult conditions, then a 'hard' tour will give you some valuable experience working on a team (sometimes solo) under harsh working conditions. After failing and succeeding in various dimensions, you will likely have the 'right stuff' to train others to serve in the field in similar capacities, to enjoy certain lifestyle benefits accruing as a direct result of your investment of time/energy. This is how military services propagate their traditions, know-how, skills. Other walks of life operate in much the same manner. Work-study curricula vector personnel through many high-turnover positions which provide skills, training, and in some cases an appreciation for 'life at the limits' -- very valuable if you're to later have a sense of the critical path and how best to implement that grand strategy (i.e. to serve as a shrewd investor). What's interesting about GST is that it makes enough sense to military commanders charged with providing security without recklessly squandering the human and physical resources under their control. It makes enough sense to university administrators who know that work-study trajectories well-integrated with the curriculum will breed professionals with a strong grasp of theoretical principles at a practical level, a degree of proficiency born of experiences in the "school of hard knocks" (the so-called "real world"). So when reckless speculating goes on trashing the global ecosystem and spoiling opportunities for huge numbers of underserved students to gain access to interesting and secure livelihoods, the response is not one of paniced military buildup with an eye towards making "enemies" out of the hapless "masses", but one of questioning the worthiness of the current investor-class machinery, the training of its teams, the worth of its programming (jargons, internal models, belief systems). Because know we know it could work, if we had people with the "right stuff" in the investor sector. We know that nature did not engineer hopeless circumstances in which humans were guarenteed to fail. The game was actually winnable, never "zero sum", as the technocrats of a less evolved curriculum used to so all-knowingly profess. GST accommodates the ideals of capitalism: the freedom to venture, to take risks, to freely invest in scenarios of one's own choosing. It also accommodates the ideals of socialism: a sense of big picture planning in accordance with a critical path which puts the whole global economy on a sustainable basis, meaning not dependent on literate elites exploiting under-privileged wage slaves with few venturing freedoms. A lot of what passes for "smart cookie" or "knowing" econo-talk in the media these days is really just a lot of thinly disguised Malthusian-Darwinian punditry i.e. has obsolete pseudo-science at its core, and is therefore more acceptable/believable in works of historical fiction, as when coming from the mouths of Nazis or other brands of ruthless imperialist living in a much darker, less scientifically informed age. If you hear this kind of stuff today and "for real" (i.e. they want us to believe them), then chances are you're listening to a spokesperson for some ineptly trained team linked to some poorly designed enterprise, full of underserved global university students in need of better schooling and opportunities to do some real work. To the Malthus-Darwinites among us I say: time to end this silly "I know what I'm talking about" play-acting, which has become transparent and superficial -- it's time to stop pretending and get a real job. Notes: [1] 'work' is typically defined as 'force x distance' which, by dimensional analysis, gives energy units: fd = mad = mvd/t = mvv = E. [2] the link between GST and Econ was powerfully set in motion by Kenneth Boulding, a Quaker. His approach was less to counterpose the two as directly competing disciplines -- I added that bit as a new wrinkle.

For further reading: Dr. Boris Kagarlitsky is an adviser to the Russian Duma and Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Comparative Political Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences. What follows are some excerpts from his statement to the US Congress Banking Subcommittee on 10 September 1998. ==== ... The Russian government, of course, didn't rely only on borrowed money to lower its deficits. The screws went on government spending, including public investment. But meanwhile, the spending of financial institutions both private and public was a bacchanalia of waste. Huge skyscrapers were build by the Russian Central Bank and the publicly-owned State Savings Bank. Staff numbers mushroomed, and salaries increased. The Russian press now tells us that money borrowed from the IMF was used to pay for all these luxuries. However the IMF and its experts in Russia never questioned the expenses of the banking institutions. They only stressed the need to spend less on education, social welfare, healthcare etc. It is important to note that the finance ministry was one of the most corrupt institutions of the Russian regime, which is anyway famous for corruption. Officials of the ministry are now being investigated, and some arrests have already been made (for example deputy minister of finance Vladimir Petrov). No doubt more will follow. Misuse of the funds provided by international financial institutions is well known; it has been reported in the Russian press and discussed in the parliament. Perhaps the most impressive example was when $5 billion provided by the World Bank for the restructuring of the coal industry simply disappeared. The Chechen war didn't stop IMF and other international lenders either. It is very clear that credits given to the Yeltsin regime were used to guarantee the government's political survival in a context of growing resistance. The conditions that the IMF, the World Bank or other Western financial institutions have placed on their Russian counterparts have never meant very much. How can you talk about due safeguards when it is a notorious fact that capital flight from Russia has far exceeded the sums provided as credits by international financial institutions and world financial markets? To a large extent this is the same money which immediately leaves the country through private banks working with government agencies. It is impossible to imagine that IMF experts are not aware of these facts, which every shopkeeper in Moscow knows about. On the contrary western experts always insisted on open markets and liberal regulations of international financial transactions. In Russian conditions, open markets and liberal regulations on international financial transactions mean not only a green light for capital flight, but also excellent prospects for the Mafia. It is no accident that Russian financial markets have become one of the main centers of money-laundering for international drug dealers. But none of this has stopped the IMF and similar institutions from insisting that controls be kept loose. Foreign credits did not save Russia. They did not prevent the current crisis. On the contrary they provoked it. At the same time, the conditions imposed on Russia by the IMF and other international financial institutions prevented Russian decision-makers from seeking realistic solutions to the country's problems using domestic resources, which even now are impressive. The IMF created the situation in which banks and trade grew at the expense of industry, in which the enormous possibilities of the public sector were wasted, and in which Russian developed an entrepreneurial community totally uninterested in long-term domestic economic projects. It is quite possible that the chief concern of the IMF decision-makers was not the success of Russia but the prosperity of the Western financial community which made a lot of money out of our crisis. But if the IMF chiefs take this attitude, they are extremely shortsighted. Today's collapse of the ruble shows that the compradora economy which emerged in our country is a problem not only for us, but for others as well. American companies are not making money in Russia any more, but are losing it. ... The pyramid of Russian state debt, built up on the same principles as the private pyramids in Russia and Albania, finally crumbled. Dumbfounded bankers learned that the government would not pay out on its bonds. Instead of money, it would give the banks new state securities that were supposed to be even more valuable. Payments on the private foreign debts of Russian firms were frozen for 90 days. Today a crisis of the elites is unfolding in Russia. Neither the collapse of the economy, nor the impoverishment of the population, nor the drawn-out slide in production have posed serious problems for this layer of Russians. They have been preoccupied with other matters. However bad things have become in the country, their aims have been fulfilled. The richest resources have been seized and divided up, and the demands of Western financial institutions have been satisfied. But it has finally proven impossible to continue along this path. The banking system is quickly becoming ungovernable, demonstrating the truth of the well-known Marxist thesis that the state of production determines the state of finances, and not the other way round. Seized with foreboding, Western investors are rushing to scoop up their money and quit the country. Yeltsin is hastily reorganising the security forces, which are bearing more and more of a resemblance to the Soviet KGB. Market mechanisms are paralysed, and the Russian capitalist class (if there ever was such a thing) is bankrupt both politically and economically. The dominant mood is anger. No one has any trust in the official institutions. Most of support for Yeltsin is now external. This means that the International Monetary Fund and G7, which supported him, gave him money, and dictated his economic policies, are in crisis as well. ... During the 1990s the neo-liberal economic model has been implemented on a global scale. As a result, the IMF and the World Bank have begun to play approximately the same role on a global scale as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union once played for the "communist bloc". IMF and World Bank experts decide what to do with the coal industry in Russia, how to reorganise companies in South Korea, and how to manage enterprises in Mexico. Despite all that is said about the "free market", world practice has never before known such centralisation. Even Western governments are forced to reckon with this parallel authority. But this spectacular success has given birth to no less spectacular problems of the type that are inherent to any hyper-centralised system. The point is not that the neo-liberal model of capitalism dooms most of humanity to hopeless poverty, and the countries of the "periphery" to dependency on those of the "centre". Such "moral" and "ideological" issues cannot disturb "serious people". The trouble is that the price of mistakes is becoming unbelievably high. The huge resources at the disposal of the IMF make it possible to "stabilise" the situation and the Soviet Union collapsed. In Russia, the international financial institutions are not passive onlookers. They bear full responsibility for what is done in our country. All the major decisions that led to the present crisis were cleared with them. The policies of the present day are being agreed with them too. This is why they will do their utmost to maintain the present state of play. It may be a comfort to our national pride to know that the IMF is more interested in Russia than in some African country impoverished under the fund's wise guidance. Russian patriots sincerely think that the West sets out deliberately to play foul tricks on us. "Westernizers", who think that the countries of the West want to help us, scarcely exist any more. Meanwhile Russia, as in the early years of the century, has again become "the weak link of world capitalism." The Russian soul, mystical "collectivism" and other national peculiarities count for nothing here. Our country has come to occupy a particular place in the world system, and the economic collapse here could serve as the prelude to global shocks. This is also the result of the policies implemented under the guidance of the IMF. The fund set out to incorporate Russia, with its corrupt authorities and debauched lumpen bourgeoisie, into the world system - at any price. The international banks got what they were looking for. ... The growing difficulties of the IMF inevitably arouse a certain malicious joy among Russians. But the situation will not make things easier for us. In order to escape from the present dead-end, we have to recognise our position in the modern world, our possibilities and our global responsibility. And we have to learn finally to take decisions independently. Even if these decisions are very painful. There is one thing we need from the West now - for it to leave us in peace. We need it to stop imposing economic policies that are ruinous for us, while using the pretext of giving us aid. The money that has been sent to support Yeltsin could have been used far better - for creating jobs in Europe and America, for helping the poorest countries, and for solving environmental problems. But you will never get money from the international bankers for these purposes.

When blimp photographs are taken of giant stadia packed full of rock-concert or football fans, we get an idea of what 100,000 people look like. We all think of Hiroshima as the worst single killing of humans by humans. That was about a 75,000-capacity- coliseum-full. Each day of each year, year after year, a 75,000- capacity-stadium-full of around-the-world humans perish from starvation or its side effects, despite an annual average 5-percent world food-production overage of the amount of food adequate for the total world's population. This daily kill of innocents dwarfs the awful Auschwitz killing. R. Buckminster Fuller USA Medal of Freedom winner 'Grunch of Giants' (1981) The East Indea Company founded Haileybury College in England to train its young employees in buisness, the military arts, and the special skills of religious missionaries. By 1800 it became necessary to initiate the task of making an Earth inventory, that is, to find out what was out there in the way of natural resources, population, land, and other tangible assets. The first man assigned the official responsibility for this enormously vital job was the head of the Department of Economics of Haileybury College. This man was Thomas Malthus, who, in 1805, postulated the idea that humanity is multiplying its numbers at a geometric rate while increasing its life-support capability at only an arithemetic rate. As a result, it has been universally concluded by the power elite that only a relatively few humans are destined to survive successfully in generations to come. The Malthusian theory thus provides a rationalization for the necessity of somehow getting rid of large numbers of people, any people, in any way -- even genocide. With the Malthusian theory as the power elite's philosophical guide, this becomes an acceptable objective because, they believe, Earth will never be able to support the progeny of so many anyhow. From this point of view, genocide -- then as now -- is accepted as all but inevitable. Who cares and why be concerned? Col. L. Fletcher Prouty (USA Air Force, Ret.)

To the Malthus-Darwinites among us I say: time to end this silly "I know what I'm talking about" play-acting, which has become transparent and superficial -- it's time to stop pretending and get a real job.

In their own way, they are eloquent.' -- Buckminster Fuller The Philosophers' Stone The Secrets of Matter Revealed Throughout the ages, the greatest scientists of all time searched diligently for the Philosophers' Stone. And from this search, the foundation stones of modern chemistry were laid. Then, suddenly in the modern age, the search for the Philosophers' Stone was abandoned as fruitless and superstitious. What is the Philosophers' Stone? Why did the greatest scientist throughout the ages search for it? What did they hope to gain? And why, after searching for thousands of years, did modern science suddenly abandon the search? The Philosophers' Stone is the elixir of life. It holds mysterious transformative powers over matter. Possession of the Philosophers' Stone would assure health, wealth and long life. The Philosophers' Stone promised to transform the human condition from one of poverty and lack to a world of richness and abundance. Another name for the Philosophers' Stone was 'chaos.' The great minds of science founded alchemy upon the premises that all organization in nature arose from chaos. They could not have been more wrong! With the new understanding that the organizing principle in nature is Synergy, we now realize, we're just a stone's throw away from discovering the Philosophers' Stone, and the search begins anew. Travel through thousands of years of human history to finally discover the Philosophers' Stone -- the foundation stone of alchemy -- and the keystone to world transformation. The Philosophers' Stone -- it's not a myth! The Philosophers' Stone is one of may projects that will be featured on the coming Spaceship Earth website, and later moved to it's own PhilosophersStone.com site. I hope you enjoy this brief introduction and that it will stimulate your imagination.
