Outlook I: > In his working life, Fuller seems indeed to have been a charlatan whose career was mainly based on fabrication, misappropriation, pseudoscience, pretense, and imposture. The study suggests that his actions and behaviour are best understood via his fractured and grandiose personality [...] While academics & scholars might (not an expert; didn't read the dissertation) be correct to call him a "charlatan", he sounds to me rather like modern CEO material. Outlook II: From a peek at his Wikipedia page - > Buckminster Fuller was a Unitarian, and, [...] Unitarian minister. Fuller was also an early environmental activist, aware of Earth's finite resources, and promoted a principle he termed "ephemeralization", [...] > Fuller was a pioneer in thinking globally, and explored energy and material efficiency [...] > Though Fuller was concerned about sustainability and human survival under the existing socioeconomic system [...] For those unfamiliar with Unitarianism - there's something of a "classic university town" Unitarian Minister stereotype here. At least historically, many highly educated and well-to-do Unitarian congregation members would expect their minister to be (or seem to be) a leading intellectual in many important-feeling fields. No mere mortal could actually do that...but if one was a fast-thinking, xenophilic, and workaholic polymath, one could keep faking it well enough to get by. More or less. (No, this stereotype does not describe all Unitarian ministers. Especially not in the the modern era.)
