Bucky Fuller as a young man
“But Universe isn’t depending on this little team on this little planet. There are probably quadrillion-times-quadrillion planets with men aboard them, and this little team might not make good, just as some of the seeds coming off the tree don’t make good. If we think of ourselves as things, as China dolls that get smashed in the end, we don’t do very good thinking. But if we think of ourselves as absolutely continuous process itself, we might begin to get some idea of our true situation. We’re the most complex problem-solving part of the universe. We have the job of sorting and rearranging, and the ability to build structures to increase production, increase efficiency, to do continuously more with less. And when man’s not doing that, he’s just anti-Universe, he’s anti-human.”
–Bucky Fuller from Life Magazine, February 26, 1971
