Buckminster Fuller seminar global success described by Barbara Marx Hubbard

Buckminster Fuller evolved my life in so many ways. The first was when I read his book Utopia or Oblivion in the 1960s. I was on a search for answers to two questions that arose in my mind after the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. “What is the meaning of all our new powers that is good? What are positive images of the future equal to these powers?”

In my search I read through religion, philosophy and technology. I found this quote from Utopia or Oblivion, and it changed my life and gave me the clue to the answer to my question. Bucky offered his Design Science Revolution as an answer. He had probed deeply into the way nature works. He said, “Humanity is undergoing a viability test…”

Wednesday’s discussion focused on what we humans can do as individuals and as a culture to demonstrated that we are a viable and worthwhile species.  Participants shared various views, and in the end it was clear that Buckminster Fuller’s insights and wisdom are more needed and evident than ever.

The next Seattle Buckminster Fuller Gathering will be July 27 at East West Bookshop and will focus on a general overview of Buckminster Fuller, his work and wisdom and how people can apply it in their lives.  Sieden will facilitate that event and share unique rare video footage of Fuller and his inventions.

May we all come to understand the importance of our actions in creating Fuller’s vision of “a world that works for everyone.”

Trimtab: Random Buckminster Fuller Quote « Oceanvali's Blog

“Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Mary — the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there’s a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trimtab.

It’s a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all. So I said that the little individual can be a trimtab.

Society thinks it’s going right by you, that it’s left you altogether. But if you’re doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go.

So I said, call me Trimtab.” – R.
