Everything I Know – 1975 Lectures by Buckminster Fuller
Bucky Fuller.   The only person in history to have a <i>form of carbon</i> named after him†.<p>He calculated (he was an engineer) that, if we applied our tech and resources efficiently, we could provide for everyone "without disadvantaging anyone."<p>> 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.<p>† <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene</a>
