“Buckminster Fuller is considered one of the greatest geniuses of our time.”— Robert Kiyosaki (2008), Rich Dad’s Increase Your Financial IQ (pg. #)
“I live on earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.”-— Buckminster Fuller (1970), I Seem to Be a Verb [5]
“In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. Rather, create a new model that makes the old one obsolete.”— Buckminster Fuller (c.1970) (Ѻ)
“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.”— Buckminster Fuller (c.1970) (Ѻ)
“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”— Buckminster Fuller (c.1970) (Ѻ)
