Humanity Looks Look Up

More From R. Buckminster Fuller

I think the only way one can really determine whether extremism in the defense of liberty is justified, is not to approach it as an american or a european or an african or an asian, but as a human being. if we look upon it as different types, immediately we begin to think in terms of extremism being good for one and bad for another, or bad for one and good for another. but if we look upon it, if we look upon ourselves as human beings, i doubt that anyone will deny that extremism in defense of liberty, the liberty of any human being, is no vice.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

There is no limit to suffering human beings have been willing to inflict on others, no matter how innocent, no matter how young, and no matter how old. this fact must lead all reasonable human beings, that is, all human beings who take evidence seriously, to draw only one possible conclusion: human nature is not basically good.

I don't think it matters if there is a god or not. i've met people who believe in god that are good and that are bad. and i've met people who don't believe in god that are good and that are bad. so, just be good. i'm good. not cos i think i'll go to heaven but because when i do something bad, i feel bad. and when i do something good, i feel good.

The word civilization to my mind is coupled with death. when i use the word, i see civilization as a crippling, thwarting thing, a stultifying thing. for me it was always so. i don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.
