Integrity of the individual is what we're being judged for and if we are not passing that examination, we don't really have the guts, we'll blow ours… - Buckminster Fuller

While all the foregoing seems far too formidable to be coped with by an individual or cooperative groups of individuals, operating entirely outside the great national sovereignty establishments I was able, in 1927, to realize that these great capabilities could be mounted to all humanity’s advantage if adequate economic support were mustered. 'What struck me profoundly at that time was that man’s greatest productive and scientifically informed capability was being focused only on war simply because all the governments in the world were convinced that Earth could not sustain the lives of the many humans that were born on the planet and, in fact, could sustain but a minority. The great sovereign powers’ world struggle game was that of “musical chairs” to decide, by warfaring at its ever most modernly lethal, who would be the fortunate ones to survive.

If the total scheme of nature required man to be a specialist she would have made him so by having him born with one eye and a microscope attached to it.

There are progressive degrees of synergy, called synergy-of-synergies, which are complexes of behavior aggregates holistically unpredicted by the separate behaviors of any of their subcomplex components. Any subcomplex aggregate is only a component aggregation of an even greater event aggregation whose comprehensive behaviors are never predicted by the component aggregates alone. There is a synergetic progression in Universe—a hierarchy of total complex behaviors entirely unpredicted by their successive subcomplexes' behaviors. It is manifest that Universe is the maximum synergy-of-synergies, being utterly unpredicted by any of its parts.
