STRATEGIC QUESTIONS / Buckminster Fuller

202. Are we all experts?

203. What are the politics of seriousness?

204. What is a public secret?

205. When does a conversation between aesthetics and politics become repressive?

206. Is every architect a potential fascist?

" Disintegration of paradise: nothing makes fatality more arbitrary. Absurdity of salvation: nothing makes another style of continuity more necessary. What then[century of the Enlightenment] was required was a secular transformation of fatality into continuity, contingency into meaning.... few things were better suited to this end than an idea of nation."
_Imagined Communities_, Benedict Anderson
