"How society ought to work" - words of Buckminster Fuller
Quote:
|
Buckminster Fuller used to tell a story about the Master of one of the Cambridge (England) Colleges, who noticed a deep crack in the massive beam supporting the college's dining hall. Not knowing to whom he should report the problem, the Master eventually notified the Royal Forester. The Forester replied that he had been expecting the call. The Forester's predecessor's predecessor, he said, had planted the tree for the new beam, and it was ready. This, Fuller noted, was how a society ought to work.
