Current Events > Buckminster Fuller is not an easy read

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I'm starting on 'Critical Path'. This guy was brilliant but it would be great if he had toned down his language a bit for audiences of lesser intelligence like myself. For instance here are some excerpts from just the foreword:

"...in 1922 physicists discovered a fundamental complementarity of disparate individual phenomena to be operative in physical Universe. This was fundamentally amplified with the subsequent discovery of the always-and-only-different, always-coexisting proton and neutron which, with their always-coexistent electrons, positrons, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, are eternally intertransformable."

"...the complex of successively experienced informations produces interweaving episodes - and the complex of special-case-episode-interweavings produces the scenario that our brain's memory banks identify as our individual being's 'life'. The way only-our-own, individual integrity of being responds spontaneously only to our own exclusive sensing of any given otherness episode is what I mean when I use the word feeling."

I repeat, this is not going to be an easy read.

Does anyone know any other authors this verbose?
