The Buckminster Fuller Challenge

Greetings Design Revolutionaries.

Bucky had it right. "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

That's why we're offering a $100,000 prize each year for comprehensive solutions that radically advance human well-being and ecosystem health.

STEP UP TO THE BUCKMINSTER FULLER CHALLENGE.
JOIN THE VANGUARD OF THE DESIGN REVOLUTION.

stopped watching after "designed to be entrusted with" perhaps it went somewhere but I've got better things to watch

Very good video! I have a lot of such technology on my channel. Please visit and see more free energy technology!

Well Sir, I am building light and contact instruments inside of pyramids and geodesic domes for starters.... A Think Tank is fine, but what about teaching Buckey's work in public schools!

[titusbigtree]

No shit sherlock!!!! Got any good ideas for us to ACCELERATE this GENIOUS REVELATION OF YOURS???

or is all ya got just saying it NEEDS to be done..

HELP US HELP OURSELVES WE NEED ALL WE CAN GET!

SOmething SIMPLE and BASIC and GLOBALLY COMPREHENSIBLE and FUN and LIGHT but HEAVY and DEEP would be a good realm to rut around in like a boar getting truffles in the mud....

If I knew what it was I would just lay it down but I don't yet so lay some good shit on us!!! TIME TO START THE THINK TANK

[titusbigtree]

we need the YOUTH to get ON THIS SHIT the same way they BLAST HIP-HOP, PARTY, AND RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE...... that's all

[musicsoluble]

We have a responsibility as evolved humans to implement these fundamentals and integrate them into our daily lives now.

Am most impressed by work of the Institute & contestants as usual. Cannot escape the feeling that engineering progresivism disjunct with statesmanship may be short-sighted. Must predict negligible impact from the top three in this years contest due to corruption and/or non-leadership in governance. Remember Fuller's call toward synergistic thinking.

It's great ... we need more exposure to 'Bucky', in the wider community, in schools and in the work place. We were watching bees go about their design job collecting nectar and inadvertently cross pollinating the plants in our garden and others.
