You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all you experience to highest advantage to others. Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.

DyMaxion

The transhumanist movement comes to a head as a child is secretly born, and raised to maximize the human potential. Their DNA was edited both prior to conception and in utero, along with gene therapies after birth. Their exercise regiment, education, diet, even social interactions are carefully tailored to maximize the dynamic limits of the human existence. The end result ends up looking and acting like George Costanza from Seinfeld.

Terahertz Vibrations and Consciousness

I’ve put together some notes on terahertz vibrations and their potential link to consciousness. You’ll find reference links and snippets for more details. First, let’s explore the microtubule structure of nerve cells that vibrate at terahertz frequencies as discussed passionately in a YouTube video by Stuart Hameroff. Terahertz vibrations are proposed to be the basis for the creation of a…

"We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody."

Buckminster Fuller, engineer, designer, and architect (12th July 1895-1983)

R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House was a marvel of modern technology that promised to create freedom by liberating the mind and curing all of society's problems… so why aren't you living in one right now?

Key sources for this episode include Jonathon Keats' You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future; Lloyd Steven Sieden's Buckminster Fuller's Universe: His Life and His Work; and Michael Brian Schiffer's Spectacular Flops: Game-Changing Technologies That Failed… but especially Lorettta Lorance's Becoming Bucky Fuller, which is both the most thorough and most critical biography of Fuller and definitely worth checking out.

If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO?

Happy arrival day to the chief technician of Spaceship Earth. A bittersweet photo choice, though through no fault of Bucky's, the spaceship is definitely faltering.

Hasta el siglo XX, la realidad era cuanto los humanos podían tocar, oler, ver y oír. Desde la publicación inicial de la tabla del espectro electromagnético, los humanos han aprendido que lo que pueden tocar, oler, ver y oír supone menos de una millonésima parte de la realidad. El 99 % de todo lo que va a afectar a nuestro mañana lo están desarrollando los humanos utilizando instrumentos y trabajando en rangos de la realidad que son imperceptibles para los sentidos humanos.

Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of  reality.

Spaceship Earth

In a future in which humans have managed to move to a Type III civilization on the Kardashev scale, and has decided to turn the entire planet into a "spaceship" in order to travel the universe as one whole society. The film is largely about the preparations and arguments going on all over the globe about what it will mean to leave the sun's orbit. In the end the world finds out this was all the world's biggest practical joke.

We have the technology

Whole Earth Catalog March 1970

“I travel around the world a great deal, and everywhere I hear humanity saying, ‘We are not against any other human beings; we feel the world ought to work properly.’ Everywhere they say it’s our politicians that get us into trouble. This is the majority viewpoint all around the earth today.” –R. Buckminster Fuller
