This is antithetical to Buckminster Fuller's Design Science Revolution. Just a horrible-horrible statement.

This is what we must guard against; rigid solutions to a fluid problem.

I'm interested in what you think. They talk a lot of platitudes about making things all better, but would they really?

It's easy for me to propose an alternative to the Green New Deal — Fuller's Design Science Revolution, World Game and Synergetics*. There's no way to easily summarize that man's life's work but it is an inspiration for all. They will be studying Synergetics for as long as we've studied Leonardo da Vinci and Tesla. Plus he has an elemental form of carbon, C-60, named after him.

*Read Spaceship Earth or Utopia or Oblivion, or just meditate on their titles.
I think we may have (or end up having) similar visions, or at least ones that are more compatible than opposing.

I don't really have the spare time for replies that involve watching videos. Also, my internet access is through my phone, which is relatively slow and doing most things is more cumbersome than using a desktop personal computer.

As for the rebuttal of C: I currently think you misunderstand what I am saying with C.

I am not familiar with Buckminster Fuller's ideas.

Much of my ideas and vision come from biomomicry. I watched the documentary "The 11th Hour" (I'll have to double-check the title), hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. It has segments featuring Janine Beynus(sp?). I'll try to state the main principle: We need to look to and align with nature.
