  • Giordano Bruno and the Geometry of Language

    Sounds to me like a book title useful to describe some ideas about Bucky Fuller and James Joyce too. x fly

    ” Since “individual freedom” and “individual greatness” mean nothing to you, while “national freedom” and “national greatness” stimulate your vocal cords in very much the same way as bones bring the water to a dog’s mouth, the sound of these words makes you cheer. None of these little men pays the price that Giordano Bruno, Jesus, Karl Marx, or Lincoln had to pay for genuine freedom. They don’t love you, little man, they despise you because you despise yourself. — Wilhelm Reich, Listen Little Man. http://www.listenlittleman.com/ http://books.google.nl/books?id=3AwiNeYULfwC&lpg=PR7&ots=mTOwm6o1wo&dq=giordano%20bruno%20cyberspace&lr&pg=PR10&output=embed

  • c60 Buckminsterfullerene’s and 2012 Geodesic Revolutions

    I have a hunch, a Grunch, about Buckminster Fuller’s innovations.

    Lets make a new TTOTT football, based on the Buckminster Fuller “Carbon 60” structure, and featuring a new Hologrammic Language… that’s what I think, or thought just earlier today after work.

    A Football, everybody plays with a football, no? Lets make a TTOTT football and construct a TTOTT team (tribe), place them on a TTOTT field (map) and have them play the kind of games Herman Hesse envisioned for his ‘Glass bead game’, or.. whatever you like. Just play. Let us play.

    The structure of buckminsterfullerene is a truncated (T = 3) icosahedron which resembles a soccer ball of the type made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge. — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene
