☮ What leads to war? Lack of knowledge concerning all the factors and the failure to include them in our integral imposes false conclusions. We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable. Consequently, society expects all earnestly responsible communication to be crisply brief. . . . In the meantime, humanity has been deprived of comprehensive understanding. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individuals leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war. ~ Buckminster Fuller In 1982, at age 14, I read Buckys 1975 Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking and it appears to me as having informed my brain.
