"It’s a matter now of humanity getting to the point where it’s now qualifying to make some of its own decisions in relation to its own information. That’s why we’ve come to a new moment of integrity."

“In 1976, #BuckminsterFuller stated that “it’ll take 50 years [to 2026!] for us to realize that our institutions are rooted in an inaccurate understanding of the world. And they will become so dysfunctional in 50 years that we cannot fix them… They will disintegrate before our very eyes, every single institution of humanity. And that’s when we will need to reinvent, recreate institutions for the human family that are rooted in the truth of the more accurate understanding of the world, the context of sufficiency.” (Reported by Lynne Twist who attended this lecture at Marin Civic Center in 1976.)”

I have no idea how this film came to be called
H.G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come but I will say how nice it was to see the old #Toronto #OntarioPlace as it was and especially the #BuckminsterFuller designed but sadly overbuilt (bucky said) dome, and, well, maybe I'd rather remember it destroyed by an evil megalomaniacal technocrat. #monsterdon material for sure
