This man just literally described what "BRICS" is doing right now as we speak.
Exactly he knew the plan, or saw the future. Either way, in 1967 he knew the downfall of America was coming and the winning countries would be the BRICS nations. Crazy stuff. I got to this from a study of him and what he was saying. His other stuff was just as true for those who have eyes to see. Like seeding clouds and the domed firmament. Only those meant to wake from the matrix can see it.
BRICS in a nothing burger. Don't believe the hype.
All indians are consumers the tic tok ban was all about removing china from india
This man and his work need to be more known. He did a hell of a job earning the appreciation of a wide variety of people along the political spectrum during his lifetime, but I’d love to see more people spotlight him. I do my best.
Landed on this during the great lockdown of 2020.
Yup.....Nailed it! 51 year ago...
I remember visiting his geodesic dome in Carbondale, Illinois in the early 1970's as a young child. From that moment on, I learned all I could about him. He certainly did "design some crazy shit" and he also wrote about the future of humanity. He was a very forward-thinking guy. As our society becomes more consumerist and human functions become more automated by machines, I hope we will begin developing the arts more. If more people were released from a paycheck-to-paycheck existence, perhaps we would see a renaissance of fine writers, painters, dancers, and other creators? Most people derive pleasure from meaningful work. Creating beautiful art is certainly meaningful work.
PerrinLogainKadanFan" They" dont want that for us, sadly. A Renaissance of Artists MEANS , Renaissance of the MIND AND Collective Conscious. Cant have us thinking outside the Box.
CosmicGlimpse facts
Even my societal conditioning has been conditioned...conform, consume, obey
CosmicGlimpse we are going to have an event, similar in gravity to that of 9/11 but with positivity and love. It will be liberating and spark the Renaissance of Humanity.
I would disagree. What most humans seek are carnal pleasures. Work created men. From your standpoint creating beautiful art is meaningful. Are you aware how many people don't see things as that? Btw i do agree with you, but civilization will disappear before that, like mice in Calhoun's experiment.
thanks for the archives
Von Neumann and Edward Teller both worked on machine quantum - mind machine style stuff. Good book is Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse; The Quest for the quantum Computer by Julian Brown. Edward Teller: Better a shield than a sword. Good book too.
I don't understand how consuming helps anyone if you don't produce anything of value. If you don't produce anything of value (product OR service) then how would you pay for what you consume? How does the producer of the product you're consuming benefit if they aren't getting paid? Maybe I misunderstood his point...Maybe he meant that the consumers are themselves each producing tiny amounts of value and by getting billions of them to buy the corporation's product, that wealth is being funneled into the big corporations.
It's quite simple. When ppl produce less and less things of value, it means they have less assets like $ to pay for what they consume. If consumption goes up and production per person goes down, it becomes harder for that person to afford what they do consume. This is today. Everything's been monetized and u have to pay for almost every service much more than before. If u don't pay w $, u pay with your time (ie watching ads on a streaming service) and time is also an asset. With less time, u produce even less things of value. It's a downward spiral for the masses

That's simply how capitalism works, it is just a mundane circulation of money, labor income consumption/demand for labor labor income consumption... and so on into infinity and beyond. Because capitalism naturally ends with the Market Saturation on its own, work is not infinite and human labor is made obsolete by technology, to maintain capitalism exponentially more consumption is required to increase labor for more incomes and so again more consumption for more demand for labor. That's why Edward Bernays and his partners came up with the idea to reeducate and breed humans as consumers, which has been done, is known as consumerism and lead to resource overshoot, destruction of the planet, climate catastrophe, societies lead by self-esteem and identity disorders and so on. Capitalism is a cancer ideology because it requires exponential growth on a finite planet to function, exactly like cancer, the difference is that the body it is killing is planet earth. And capitalism is every ideology that is based on property, trading and money, every money/market ideology is capitalism, no matter how it is officially called, the foundation is always the same anti-economic beliefs, opinions and delusions, a completely blind ideology that has no feedback loops of what it is doing.
@@Wilson84KS You made really good point w/ "human labor is made obsolete by technology, to maintain capitalism exponentially more consumption is required to increase labor for more incomes and so again more consumption for more demand for labor." but I'd say that more consumption is required to mostly increase profit/income bc labor doesn't always have to increase. Take for ex how software nowadays is sold w/ a subscription instead of a flat fee. The capitalist is increasing consumption w/ little to no increase in labor (the consumer just needs product support, same as if they got the product for a flat fee). Of course this is a simplified example. I fully agree that capitalism is terrible. It took me a while to see it that way but it basically means that the few that can extract enough $$ out of the masses live well and everyone else slowly lives worse. PS - I was at a food court at a mall recently and every restaurant but 1 bar there charged for water, plain tap water. The girl working at the bar had a work uniform that consisted of a small top & short skirt. The whole thing designed to either have to buy water or be incentivized to buy a damn drink.
It's like addiction you just consume
I'd love it if he was around today to see what came of so many of his predictions.
What is this interview?
0:43 🖖
in the movie they live the signs say consume.
RIP Bucky.
: Wow, how prophetic !
Looking at it now, I am thinking prophetic may be very correct... 😶
the strategy is to 'consume not produce'
This guy designed some crazy shit. The sphere at Disney world was designed by him
thats the least he did. haha
Bucky would hate the now. Consumption getting worse.
He said Africa, South America, and India....China has projects in all.of them.
Watch it again and listen
Facts
Died in 1983.
OMG my arm started hurting.
This guys ideas are out there but are correct lol
The Isotropic Vector Matrix, maybe...
This is why I don’t use Amazon or go to Walmart
Fuller saying something a lot of people haven't realized yet. I made a similar point to one of my Political Science professors in the 80s in a conversation, an original observation at the time. I had read a couple of things by Fuller at that point, but not this comment. Fuller was a genius, period.
LMAO what a VERY weird way to try to compliment yourself. 🤡
U have good natural instincts ‘n reasoning .. and yes Fuller articulated it very well ..
Sounds like an Ivory Tower type. Not a practical man if he devised a Dome to live in.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
domes . ‘n round homes like TopSider ‘n Deltec are hurricane proof & tornado resistant .. there r other benefits too ,) 🙏♥️🕊🤲
No need for text over the video for so long.
I would love to know if he ever took cannabis or any other "drug"
I heard a rumour that tricky Dick was his supplier!
He quit smoking in 1945 to attempt to live to see the fruition of his ideas. He quit drinking about then because he thought people would dismiss his ideas as drunken ramblings. His only vice from then on was tea.
Heh heh Bubblesminster.
True but wtf does this have to do with the matrix
you need to research and read more, you will understand.
I know one part and finding out everyday, I don't know this part. So how and where do I find out more?
Is that Walt Disney interviewing him?
It's Walter Cronkite
OMG a white person to me to brush my teeth using the following method. Jigga Jigga swish swish swish. I want to puke. I remember telling mychildren that somebody told me that when 3 to 5 years old or maybe younger. I was not unintelligible but I could learn something now. I was told that. Aww, get the word out Malcolm X or the Mahummads might not need to hear though they might not have ever been told it. Puke Puke Puke.
I have no idea what you said there, but I hope you're better now.
@@vaxrvaxrExactly and thank you.
This has a lot to do with the current war in Ukraine. America is falling as a industrial power in the 21st century. Russia and China invested in their citizens. Thus, they have more college graduates (STEM) with way less college debt. America can't overcome it's racist history.
the hegemony is ending, a new world order is forming or trying to. History is just doing what it does best, repeating itself.
You sound pretty sure for someone who doesn't speak a word of Russian.
@@vaxrvaxr its called study and observation.
@@dbozexpat894 I lived there on the onset of the invasion. There was no economic perspective whatsoever in Russia, and the mainstream rhetoric was borderline fascist. Things got worse after.
@@vaxrvaxr what do think is the solution between Ukraine (United States) and Russia (and China)?
