You’ll hate to learn once again both that Marx was right and live is the answer.

- [ ] As the book progressed I began more and more to feel that the better title for the book might have been Buckminster Fuller; WHAT AN ASSHOLE! but after the descriptions of his experience with Black Mountain College I realized my own lack of knowledge. Perhaps like a lot of people, I had know next to nothing about Buckminster Fuller other than those experiences at and with BMC. And so I had hypothesized a personality for him myself. The cruelty of his selfless desires to house the world’s suffering populate juxtaposed with his modern disciples hurt again and again. This pain was worsened by the book’s continual factual mistakes, especially the ones that were self-contradictory within its own pages. Some terrible inaccuracies about CHARAS in NYC rubbed salt in these wounds. Yet the description of the chemists who called a new molecule Buckminster Fullerine lead me in another direction. Going back to the beginning of the man and the book I was compelled to ask what it was the BF had and maintained through what he was smart enough to know were his own lies and mistakes. Was it the same thing that made his woke lying mess of a life speak to these chemists beyond his own death? It was. I have concluded that what BF brought to science was nothing less than love, his own flawed sometimes painful love of his fellow humanity which he called the world, the whole earth, or sometimes he hid it behind other terms like efficiency or even beauty. Buckminster Fuller has not been duplicated even by those who have worked for fuse science and art because they lack that most ephemeral Fullerene: LOVE. Read this book. I think you may agree. If so, it may change you and I think BF would have found that the best memorial, though doubtless he would have been grumpy about it.
