I think I’ve been experiencing what some environmentalists such as John Seed and Joanna Macy term ‘despair’. It’s a lonely, cementing feeling of helplessness and inaction in response to the current ‘climate’ of local, national and international events. In search of an offer of knowledge-a slice of my soul, a question from the grey that matters to share with you, I opened up a book I’ve been reading called Massive Change. It proposes that a new breed of designer is needed, one who is in the words of R. Buckminster Fuller, a “synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist”. Its author Bruce Mau, was recipient of the 2007 AIGA Gold Medal in the field of communication design. It’s a fascinating book and one I recommend every human being should read, however, it led me on this occasion to search for information on who R. Buckminster Fuller was. This lead me to this article by the man on what he does to “discipline myself to try to get myself thinking in a little more adequate manner concerning what we know of our Universe and what may be going on in a larger way, and to try to get things a little better proportioned”. He sounds like one of those lecturers you would never forget. If you have the time, have a read. It left me feeling, seemingly helpless… but also reminded me that as an ant on this rock expanding at 3 million miles an hour, I better hurry up and do something. Who am I not to?
