Has anyone seen this website before? (Sorry if this is in the wrong place) | posted in: | help Operating Manual for TodaySubmitted by R. Franklin Dusek on Sat, 2008-08-23 18:03.
In the '60's, while studying Design and attending Dr. Fuller's classes and lectures; his ideas made great sense - to the extent I could 'keep up' with his brilliance. Today, having worked at a major Aerospace company and spoken with an ISS astronaut about our Spaceship Earth, the Manual is still perfectly relevant. Are there gatherings where I can share my experiences and views with like souls? Are copied of his recorded lectures available today? FLOATING BREAKWATER (1979) - U.S. PATENT - 4,136,994Submitted by Michael Russo on Wed, 2008-07-16 15:19.
Not knowing exactly what "Design Science" is, I contend Bucky's Floating Breakwater - U.S. PATENT - 4,136,994 - has more potential NOW than it did in 1977. Is anyone prepared to produced one of these things? We have a location on Narragansett Bay in Providence, RI, that could definitely benefit from the installation of this technology.

I am sleeping on the same schedule that Bucky used for 2 years and called the dymaxion sleep. It involves sleeping for 30 minutes every 6 hours for a total of 2 hours sleep a day. http://www.paul-bradley.com/blog Paul Bradley
fluorescent v. incandescent v. LEDSubmitted by George DeCarlo on Wed, 2007-03-14 00:54.
Dear BFI, I had the opportunity recently to change a proposal being put forward to the Green Party of New Jersey that would have had fluorescent bulbs. These types of bulbs while being energy saving in comparison to incandescent are not the solution. This is another case of seemingly doing good when superior developments are on the way. Please see my suggestion to look into LED lights below. I do not think Bucky would have been satisfied with fluorescent at this point. Thank you, -- VOTE Green Party! | posted in: | help Buckminster Fuller, Technocracy, and the Green MovementSubmitted by dollarability on Tue, 2007-02-27 14:44.
I have become increasingly convinced by reading Buckminster Fuller that a comprehensive political program could very easily be developed out of his work. I have also become acquainted with the Technocracy movement as a result of reading Fuller. I joined the Green Party because I believe that the Green movement is most likely to be most responsive to Fuller's ideas, although Fuller himself was sceptical of political parties. I have two questions.

BFI Member Steve Brant hits the airwaves with Tom Friedman, Ted Koppel and Joe SteiglitzSubmitted by Joshua Arnow on Fri, 2006-06-16 11:19.
My friend Steve asked Tom Friedman (and economist Joseph Stiglitz) a poignant question about the role of science and peace in a world where a quality standard of living for all is technically feasible while the politics of scarcity still continues to justify war.
BE, DO, HAVESubmitted by pmagnuso on Mon, 2006-06-05 11:38.
I am looking for material that goes more in depth on the philosophy of BE, DO, HAVE. I believe that this a topic that BF spoke about. My understanding of BE, DO, HAVE is that this is a way to organize our personal lives around principles for living rather than possessions. Thanks, | posted in: | help |
