Buckminster Fuller made the distinction between weaponry and livingry.

The existence of the word livingry as an antonym to the word weaponry is powerful in itself.

It would be nice if our leaders thought like Buckminster Fuller more than, as a random example off the top of my head, Hitler.

This article by Fuller himself has some odd typos but you will get the gist.

#BuckminsterFuller once observed that if all politicians ceased to exist the world would function, he thought, for about 6 months. If engineers ceased, it'd last about 2 days. Canada is in the process of proving the former.

#BuckminsterFuller’s innovations – buildings, cars, various concepts of urban design – were animated by an idea he called “#ephemeralisation”, which meant doing more with less. He was obsessed with the idea of using the minimum amount of energy and material to produce the maximum pay-off. This had little to do with profit, and everything to do with what would eventually become known as “#sustainability”, an idea he was considering many decades before the world at large. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/08/24/we-are-prioritising-all-the-wrong-kinds-of-weirdos/

1/2 Onpas tänään mielenkiintoinen #Kulttuuriykkönen!

#Arkkitehti ja keksijä #BuckminsterFuller nostettiin jo elinaikanaan #LeonardoDaVinci n kaltaiseksi yleisneroksi.

40 vuotta kuolemansa jälkeen piskuisessa Suomessa valmistuu #väitöskirja, jossa todetaan, että eikä ollut, #Fuller oli huijari!

#Väikkäri n on tehnyt #PasiToiviainen. #Toiviainen tullut vuosien saatossa tutuksi mm. #ilmasto aiheita käsittelevänä toimittajana.

#YleRadioYksi klo 15.02, lähetyksen jälkeen myös #Areena ssa.

What if we were paid in kWh? More than we needed of course, but what if our costs actually reflected our costs?

Bread: 8kWh

"In this cosmically uniform, common energy-value system for all humanity, costing will be expressed in kilowatt-hours, watt-hours and watt-seconds of work. Kilowatt-hours will become the prime criteria of costing the production of the complex of metabolic involvements per each function or item."
