The difference between mind and brain is that brain deals only with memorized, subjective, special-case experiences and objective experiments, while mind extracts… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
It seemed that the time would come evolutionarily when humans might have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
Only our minds are able to discover the generalized principles operating without exception in each and every special-experience case which if detected… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using. — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
All of humanity now has the option to "make it" successfully and sustainably, by virtue of our having minds, discovering principles and… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
The word generalization in literature usually means covering too much territory too thinly to be persuasive, let alone convincing. In science, however,… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and non-interfering patterns operative in pure principle, and principles are… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
With our minds alone we can discover those principles we need to employ to convert all humanity to success in a new,… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sum-total behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
So long as mathematicians can impose up-and-down semantics upon students while trafficking personally in the non-up-and-down advantages of their concise statements, they… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image

All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them. — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
I have spent most of my life unlearning things that were proved not to be true — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
You can never learn less; you can only learn more. The reason I know so much is because I have made so many mistakes. — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
Man is going to be displaced altogether as a specialist by the computer. Man himself is being forced to reestablish, employ, and enjoy his… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
If we design the environment properly It will permit both child and adult to develop safely And to behave logically. — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable. Consequently, society expects all earnestly responsible… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts. — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
We must start with scientific fundamentals, and that means with the data of experiments and not with assumed axioms predicated only upon the misleading… — R. Buckminster Fuller Copy Share Image
