Does anyone else have trouble with this site logging you out using Safari? My father was inspired by Mr. Fuller in the late 60’s. In the 70’s he patented the Monolithic Dome. Now there are thousands of Monolithic Domes all over the world. All of which are disaster-resistant, cost effective and save up to 75% of HVAC energy consumption. Dad also dreamed up the “EcoShell” which is a very inexpensive way to build thin-shell concrete domes by hand. They are uninsulated, but are perfect for housing in emerging countries with tropical or temperate climates. I love that “Good” is giving “Bucky” props. Rebecca South, President, Domes for the World I did not intend to post that anonymously.

Those paid to teach the hard stuff (e.g. professors of literature) need to do their homework and help pass this stuff on, or go down in history for staying asleep at the switch. Utopia or oblivion, people. This guy was one of the most important authors of the 20th century, yet he’s difficult to read, especially his most esoteric philosophical stuff.
