Notes: “Kiyoshi Kuromiya, Adjuvant” on the cover can be misleading. Kuromiya (1943-2000) is not a co-author or editor, but a “catalyst” for Fuller, and that may be why this is considered Fuller’s most accessible book. “We may soon discover that all babies are born geniuses and only become degeniused by the erosive effect of unthinkingly maintained false assumptions of the grown-ups, with their conventional ways of ‘bringing up’ and ‘educating’ their young. We now know that schools are the least favorable environment for learning. The home TV is far more effective, but we are allowing the big money-making advertisers to poison the information children assimilate in their four to five hours a day of spontaneous turning-on, looking at and listening to the TV.” (Humans in Universe, p. 26) Fuller will give you no breaks, no quarter. His is absolutely the most PRECISE language you will ever read, and you might have to read it a couple of times to take the idea in. The twentieth-century Archimedes or Leonardo da Vinci.
