I believe that my knowledge of some things exceeds that of Fuller, especially with respect to 'climate', climate-related structure losses, and probabilities that 'destroyed' buildings will NOT be replaced by geodesic structures or 'grain silos' as envisioned by Fuller.
R.B.Fuller dedicated himself to putting 'tools on the shelf' for humankind to take down when they're needed. The impediments are mortgage financing and zoning laws.
