We are powerfully imprisoned in these Dark Ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.

The explicable requires the inexplicable. Experience requires the nonexperienceable. The obvious requires the mystical.

When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.

[A]ll the categories of creatures act individually as special-case and may be linearly analyzed; retrospectively, it is discoverable that inadvertently they are all interaffecting one another synergetically as a spherical, interprecessionally regenerative, tensegrity spherical integrity.

Inadvertently Integrity May Special
Degrees of accuracy are only degrees of refinement and magnitude in no way affects the fundamental reliability, which refers, as directional or angular sense, toward centralized truths. Truth is a relationship.

Geodesic spheres demonstrate the compressionally discontinuous–tensionally continuous integrity. Ecology is tensegrity geodesic spherical programming.

Spaceship Earth was so extraordinarily well invented and designed that to our knowledge humans have been on board it for two million years not even knowing that they were on board a ship.

Some of us are just less damaged than others.

We are here as local information harvesters, local problem-solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe. The fact that we get away from physical problems doesn’t mean we go away from problems. The problems are really rarely physical.

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?

One of humanity’s prime drives is to understand and be understood. All other living creatures are designed for highly specialized tasks. Man seems unique as the comprehensive comprehender and co-ordinator of local universe affairs.

I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of the universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless.

Conformity Creativity Integrity
I say that radiation is inherently disintegrative: it comes apart. Gravity is inherently integrative: it pulls together. And to me, there’s a good possibility that love is what I’d call metaphysical gravity. It really holds everything together.

Love Radiation Together
How much does your building weigh? A question often used to challenge architects to consider how efficiently materials were used for the space enclosed.

I look for what needs to be done. After all, that’s how the universe designs itself.
