"Bucky stuff" on CBS Morning Show (2009)
This well-produced 2009 segment reminds us of the "Bucky stuff" focuses on the practical applications of Fuller's ideas, which is not a mistake in any way.
However, my "stridency" (one might call it) in my Tweets (can anything called a "tweet" be "strident"?) stems from the a priori coherence of the unit volume tetrahedron idea.
Even with no practical applications (which it has), there'd be (is) a mathematics here, an approach to spatial geometry, worth passing on.
The different models of 2nd and 3rd powering, how to map 2x2 and 2x2x2 to respective areas and volumes, are where to start. My Youtube below sets the stage. I continue with the story under the heading of so-called Martian Math — one of many ways to go.
At this point, I'd say some understanding of Synergetics (the name of Fuller's two-volume magnum opus) and its subsequent influence, as well as its influences (what fed into it), are required simply to understand recent intellectual history. Is that kind of history important? To many readers, it still is.
