Buckminster Fuller - Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth

Origins of specialization
The Great Pirate concept is explained in depth,
and the source of their power is that they are
the only masters of global information in a time
where people are focused locally. Specifically,
the Great Pirates are aware that resources are
not evenly distributed around the world, so that
items which are abundant in one area are scarce
in another. This gives rise to trade which the
G.P.'s exploit for their own advantage.
Power struggles for waterways ensue, requiring
people like Leonardo DaVinci and Michelangelo
to design better defenses for the Great Pirates.
The Pirates establish governments in various
areas and support leaders who will defend their
trade routes.


Comprehensively commanded automation
World War I emerges as the struggle between
the 'out-pirates' (electronic and chemical
warfare) and the 'in-pirates' (electromagnetics).
This change from the visible to the invisible
forced the Great Pirates to rely on experts,
which causes the end of the Great Pirates (who
previously had been the only ones that were
truly multi-disciplined).
The public is unaware that Great Pirates have
been ruling the earth, and the role falls back to
kings and politicians, though the frameworks of
trade, rating and accounting remain.
Spaceship earth
This chapter sets up the idea that the earth is a
spaceship, with the sun as our energy supplier.
"We are all astronauts" says Fuller.
The idea of the earth is as a mechanical vehicle
that requires maintenance, and that if you do
not keep it in good order it will cease to
function.
General systems theory
Likens humanity to a chick that has just broken
out of its shell and is now ready to enter the
next phase of its existence. Suggests "How big
can we think?"
Synergy
Where the whole of a system is greater than the
sum of its parts. "Ergo, only complete world
desovereignization can permit the realization of
an all humanity high standard support."
Integral Functions
Wealth is expanded by the development of tools
which go beyond what was integral to man.
States that the highest priority need of world
society is a realistic accounting system, instead
of one where a top toolmaker in India gets paid
in a month what he would make in a day in
Detroit.
The regenerative landscape
Defines tools as either craft tools that can be
invented by one man such as bows and arrows
and industrial tools that can not be produced by
one man such as the S.S. Queen Mary. Finds
language to be the first industrial tool. States
that craft tools were used to create industrial
tools. States that to take advantage of potential
wealth we must give life fellowships to each
person who is or becomes unemployed, and
states that for every 100,000 fellowships given
out one person will come up with something so
valuable that it will pay for the remaining
99,999 fellowships. Predicts that soon the great
office buildings will be turned into residences
and that all the work that had been done in
them will be done in the basements of a few
buildings. States that we "must operate
exclusively on our vast daily energy income
from the powers of wind, tide, water, and the
direct Sun radiation energy".
Ends with anecdotal comments about his travels
using three watches to keep track of time, at the
office, where he is, and where he is going next,
and an admonition "So, planners, architects,
and engineers take the initiative".
