Everything I Know: Buckminster Fuller
Everything I Know Introduction
I just stumbled across an amazing artifact on the web - the complete transcription of R. Buckminster Fullers lectures entitled "Everything I Know". These lectures were recorded over two week period and total 42 (yes, FOURTY-TWO) hours of audio material. It's presented here in text format as well as Real Audio for your listening pleasure.
Apparently around 1975, Fuller made a statement (or claim as it were) that he could explain everything he knew in 45-50 hours. Well, here it is.
After reading the first few pages, I found myself completely immersed in this genius mind....exploring concepts, ways of thoughts, and complex concepts in ways I had never imagined. Despite his unique style of presentation, his real message comes through strong. I think this has reignited some of my younger passion for his work and hope to do some more research into his life, ideas, and principles.
Unfortunately, there is no MP3 format for his lectures - I would love to burn them to a CD for listening in the car. The only copy that they have available is on audio tape. Oh man!
