Buckminster Fuller's grandson has excellent advise for approaching his body of work:
"For those of you reading Bucky for the first time, I offer a few specific tips for your journey through his universe. You may find, with the pulsation from the macro to the micro, from the comprehensive to the incisive, that your mind is stretched and turned in a way that is, at first, disorienting.
Think of it instead as a re-orientation—a real orientation that can at first be dizzying. Give yourself a lot of time. His books are thinking tools, catalysts for “shape-shifting,” for leaping far beyond the “box” of normal habitual thought processes. Perhaps a dose-a-day will be your pace, to thoroughly examine and digest the ideas as they come—paying attention to the changes in your own awareness …daily, weekly, even monthly.
Be encouraged: like learning a new language or a new computer program, I trust the current brain researchers would confirm that reading Bucky is just the kind of endeavor that can help us build brain cells and their interconnections."
Sound familiar?
Yes, Bucky's work will take you through everything from the physics to philosophy of the proverbial Bitcoin rabbit hole.
