Careful there. Buckminster Fuller is on the list of "people HN readers irrationally worship, any criticism of whom will make your comment hit -4 in about ten minutes." Fuller had a lot of brilliant ideas but like any human he also had some idiotic ones, but around here people will bend over backwards and tie his words into knots trying to justify all of his opinions.
