Inventions by R. Buckminster Fuller

I was convinced from the 1927 outset of this new life that I would be of no benefit whatsoever to the more than two billion humans alive in 1927 if I set about asking people to listen to my ideas and endeavoring to persuade them to reform their thinking and ways of behaving. People listen to you only when in a dilemma they recognize that they don't know what to do and, thinking that you might know, ask you to advise them what to do. When they do ask you and you have only a seemingly "good idea" of what they might do, you are far less effective than when you can say "Jump aboard and I'll take you where you want to go" or "Jump aboard that vehicle and it will take you to where you want to go." This involves an inanimate artifact to "jump aboard."
