BUCKY 2.0: R. Buckminster Fuller – The History [and Mystery] of the Universe – A one-man play created by D. W. Jacobs
Uncategorized
R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER:
The History [and Mystery] of the Universe
A one-man play created by D. W. Jacobs
(first performed in 2000 in San Diego, then San Francisco)
The following excerpts constitute one persons feelings of the play’s wisdom and inspiration that may
warrant pondering:
1. Gravity does not have to think before behaving in the most economical manner.
2. We now have the capability to take care of all humanity at a higher standard of living than we have ever known, but only if the sovereign fences are completely removed.
3. The physical wealth of universe cannot diminish, the metaphysical can only increase.
4. Learning the truth about all things, then the truth about combinations of things, that’s what you want to do.
