>>2890572architectsystems theoristwriterdesignerinventorphilosopherfuturistDescribed the phenomenon of technological advances in efficiency driving more and more functionality with less and resource use to do it until that technology is abandoned for even more efficient and functional tech. Postulated on how far and how fast it might happen and was mostly right.>Fuller uses Henry Ford's assembly line (used by Henry Ford at his car factory), as an example of how ephemeralization can continuously lead to better products at lower cost with no upper bound on productivity. Fuller saw ephemeralization as an inevitable trend in human development.That was 1938, before true jet aircraft existed...in 30 years we'd be on the moon and jetsnare common, with early tech rendered obsolete and ephemeral, with far less effort and money needed to replace it with better stuff that does more.he also invented an entire branch of empirical systems study and wrote the books on it->Synergetics is the empirical study of systems in transformation, with an emphasis on whole system behaviors unpredicted by the behavior of any components in isolation. R. Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) named and pioneered the field. His two-volume work Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking, in collaboration with E. J. Applewhite, distills a lifetime of research into book form."Synergetics follows the cosmic logic of the structural mathematics strategies of nature, which employ the paired sets of the six angular degrees of freedom, frequencies, and vectorially economical actions and their multi-alternative, equi-economical action options ... Synergetics discloses the excruciating awkwardness characterizing present-day mathematical treatment of the interrelationships of the independent scientific disciplines as originally occasioned by their mutual and separate lacks of awareness of the existence of a comprehensive, rational, coordinating system inherent in nature."

>>2890572>why is this nigga still remembered again?>>2890658>R. Buckminster FullerTo be honest I've never even heard of him until this thread. So why should he or why shouldn't he be remembered?
