Buckminster Fuller - Everthing I Know - 1/159

During the last two weeks of January 1975 Buckminster Fuller gave an extraordinary series of lectures concerning his entire life's work. These thinking out loud lectures span 42 hours and examine in depth all of Fuller's major inventions and discoveries from the 1927 Dymaxion house, car and bathroom, through the Wichita House, geodesic domes, and tensegrity structures, as well as the contents of Synergetics. Autobiographical in parts, Fuller recounts his own personal history in the context of the history of science and industrialization. The stories behind his Dymaxion car, geodesic domes, World Game and integration of science and humanism are lucidly communicated with continuous reference to his synergetic geometry. Permeating the entire series is his unique comprehensive design approach to solving the problems of the world. Some of the topics Fuller covered in this wide ranging discourse include: architecture, design, philosophy, education, mathematics, geometry, cartography, economics, history, structure, industry, housing and engineering.

After editing out the hours of blank, blue screen and the constant doubling of the same part, mislabled as the next, e.g. part 15a & 15b are the same (this happens often) we are left with 38h 39mins of original footage, 3h 21mins short of the 42hour presentation.

The quality of the video varies all the way through until the end. If you know of a better source on the web i would be very interested. The full 42hours can be found on this channel in audio format but i felt this video, albeit far from perfect should be added to the archive because the visuals shown are important to grasp what is being taught.

Playlists feature 20 videos each (19 for the final playlist) averaging at just under 5hours per playlist. These can be found on this channel. Playlists labeled, 1-20, 21-40, 41-60 etc...

Thank you

Incredible effort putting this together. Thanks!

I'm not sure if I can ever get through all of this.

Fuller was a brilliant man. Putting this out there for people

to access is an important effort...

@billhuston Many thanks Bill, it's my pleasure.

Thanks for the upload. Such a great thinker. I can't help but wonder what he would have said if he had known that Tesla was the real discoverer of the wireless. Truth is truth and this is revealing to think he came to such great conclusions even with some data having been manipulated to divert the masses from true knowledge. A wise man indeed.

I downloaded a torrent of this entire thing in mp3 for the missing sound in parts. I also made a playlist of all of this on my channel. Thanks for uploading it, this is epic!
