Ричард Бакминстер Фуллер — американский архитектор, дизайнер, инженер, изобретатель, философ, математик, писатель, поэт.

В течение своей жизни Фуллер задавался вопросом относительно того, есть ли у человечества шанс на долгосрочное и успешное выживание на планете Земля и если да, то каким образом. Считая себя заурядным индивидом без особых денежных средств и учёной степени, он решил посвятить свою жизнь этому вопросу. Он пытался выяснить, что могут сделать для улучшения положения человечества личности вроде него из того, что большие организации, правительства или частные предприятия не могут выполнить в силу своей природы.

На протяжении этого эксперимента всей жизни Фуллер написал двадцать восемь книг, выработав такие термины как «космический корабль „Земля“», «эфемеризация» и «синергетика». Он также сделал большое число изобретений, в основном в сфере дизайна и архитектуры, наиболее известным из которых является лёгкий и прочный «геодезический купол» — пространственная стальная сетчатая оболочка из прямых стержней.

В последние годы жизни, после десятилетий работы над своими идеями, Фуллер достиг заметного общественного признания. Он путешествовал по миру, выступая с лекциями, и получил много почётных учёных степеней. Большинство его изобретений, однако, так и не поступили в массовое производство, а он сам подвергался сильной критике в разных областях, на которые он пытался повлиять , или просто отвергался как безнадёжный утопист. Последователи Фуллера, с другой стороны, утверждают, что его идеи ещё не получили того внимания, которого они заслуживают. Wikipedia

“CALL ME TRIMTAB”

Inscription on his headstone. On a ship the trimtab is a small but crucial part of a the rudder mechanism, which controls the direction of the vessel; on an aircraft it is a small adjustable tab on the trailing edge of the elevator control surface set by the pilot to trim the aircraft in a steady and level orientation. This use for his epitaph comes from statements he had made in life, including an interview with Barry Farrell in Playboy (February 1972): Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Mary — the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there's a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trimtab. It's a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all. So I said that the little individual can be a trimtab. Society thinks it's going right by you, that it's left you altogether. But if you're doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go. So I said, call me Trimtab. He is also quoted at the Buckminster Fuller Institute http://challenge.bfi.org/faq/ as having said: When I thought about steering the course of the "Spaceship Earth" and all of humanity, I saw most people trying to turn the boat by pushing the bow around. I saw that by being all the way at the tail of the ship, by just kicking my foot to one side or the other, I could create the "low pressure" which would turn the whole ship. If ever someone wanted to write my epitaph, I would want it to say "Call me Trimtab".

From 1980s onwards, Critical Path (1981)

“Nature never “fails.” Nature complies with its own laws. Nature is the law. When Man lacks understanding of Nature’s laws and a Man-contrived structure buckles unexpectedly, it does not fail. It only demonstrates that Man did not understand Nature’s laws and behaviors. Nothing failed. Man’s knowledge or estimating was inadequate.”

In "How Little I Know", in Saturday Review (12 Nov 1966), 152. Excerpted in Buckminster Fuller and Answar Dil, Humans in Universe (1983), 31.
