Ephemeralization (dMASS): ''Doing more with less'' - Buckminster Fuller



- What we see happening in the world today was inevitable. We have been warned of this by the great thinkers and inventors of our time, and we've ignored them. As V (from the movie ''V for Vendetta'') reminded us, if you'd like to know who's responsible for this state of affairs, you need only look into a mirror.

It can still be changed for the better, the question is: ''Can we change in time?''

For me, it was "Love at First Sight"!

Back, then, I was only a teenager, when I witnessed Bucky's Architectural Marvel, at "Expo 67". Still, the experience had an "Ever Lasting Effect" on me; Geometry became so much more FUN, after that!

At the time, the QUESTION OF THE DAY was "How can a structure, that size, be built, without using Support Columns in the middle?".

Bucky's Architectural Marvel, the U.S. Pavilion, was the only ANSWER!

I just LOVE, your post on "dMASS"! Thanks, for posting!

If only our Politicians understood, how IMPORTANT "dMASS" really is for all of us. Our very own SURVIVAL may depend on it!
