Has anyone read Buckminster Fuller's book, "Synergetics"? Can anyone summarize in 50 lines or less what it means? Does anyone know where to find an English translation, that is, a book with similar content but written in normal English rather than Fuller's metaincomprehensible tetrahedron-infinite- dymaxioned-English-like-metaprose?

A quote from R. Buckminster Fuller himself: "You have to make up your mind either to make sense or to make money..." I wonder what his choice was? David Canzi, c/o watmath!rjhurdal

I think it will be much longer than that. --- Michael Turner (ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner)
