An excellent example of walking the walk not necessarily following talking the talk. It's very uplifting to talk of grand revolutions but just like Fuller's philosophical musings it's much more significant on paper than it is in the real world. Geodesics didn't amount to much besides survival shelters and exhibition halls, essentially glorified statuary. The grand result of the tensegrity revolution is one bridge in Australia and a couple of sports stadiums. Fuller's persistent belief in technological deus ex machina served and still serves largely as an argument to not face difficult global problems that will require planning and hard work to solve.
