We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

Don't worry, Bucky, the DUmmies are WAY ahead of you.


What a pantload from yet another hypocrite. RB Fuller was a brilliant man, but grew up (a) privileged, and (b) disregarded his family and their needs as he sought out Universal Truth or whatever it is liberals go looking for.

Doesn't mean the DUmmies won't lap it up:

There's plenty of things that need to be done, but under a 'free market' system no one is willing to pay for most of them.


Funny you should mention that, DUmbass. You'd think an anti-ratrace freethinking liberal futurist "citizen of the Universe" Bucky Fuller would make his inventions part of the public domain, so people could take them and implement them. This would be consistent with his philosophy that we work for the betterment of others. Golly, wonder why Bucky had so many PATENTS, the point of which is to keep invention and innovation OUT of the public domain:

As long as we have our current tort law system, governmental regulators, and fixation with protecting idiots from the natural consequences of their ill-planned actions (All touchstones of Liberalism), we will never run out of layers of inspectors, people making instruments for them, and layers of people to inspect those instruments.

I guess I'm too stoooooopid to see the wisdom of that statement. I haven't made any such "technological breakthrough" and probably won't in my remaining days or decades. Yet somehow I've managed to support myself and my family. Obviously I'm missing something due to my stoooooopidity.

I've heard of Buckminster.
I heard he invented buckminsterfullerine.
Also known as the "Bucky Ball".
It was a lattice of carbon atoms that formed a zeppelin shape.
I heard that was the initial stages of the science now known as nano science.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

They named it in honor of him. He was an architect famous for his creation of the geodesic dome. An example of his work is here:



This is one of his more noticeable achievements. The "Bucky ball" was given it's name because it's structure resembled that of his domes.
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”

Yeah.  He had nothing to do with nanoscience, his work just happened to become faddish in the late 60s and early 70s after more or less flopping due to practicalities in his own working life...it was a lot more suited to mega-projects and 'Wonders' than to the everyday lifestyle he envisioned, and that sort of fame propelled him into a certain not-entirely-earned place of prominence in the minds of the popular scientific press and impressionable science/engineering/technology students of the period.
