Buckminster Fuller is likely my favorite author of all time. He could pen things that make one feel so small and yet capable of effecting change. Here we are, teetering on the brink he envisioned, empowered with more knowledge than any generation before:
“Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all, to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before-that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.”
