Are We Ready For the Coming 'Age of Abundance?' - Dr. Michio Kaku (Full)

Biography Hailed as “one of the greatest minds of our times,” R. Buckminster Fuller was renowned for his comprehensive perspective on the world’s problems. For more than five decades, he developed pioneering solutions that reflected his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does “more with less” and thereby improves human lives. Early life Born in Milton, Massachusetts, on July 12, 1895, Richard Buckminster Fuller belonged to a family noted for producing strong individualists inclined toward activism and public service. Fuller entered Harvard University in 1913, but he was expelled after excessively socializing and missing his midterm exams. From 1917 until 1919, Fuller served in the U.S. As a result of the invention, Fuller was nominated to receive officer training at the U.S. In 1927, after the construction company failed, Fuller was unemployed and contemplated suicide, but he had a remarkable realization.

Randall Lee Reetz Anton Chekhov Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), Russian physician, renowned short story author and playwright wrote Uncle Vanya (1899); We must live our lives. Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya. We shall live through the long procession of days before us, and through the long evenings; we shall patiently bear the trials that fate imposes on us; we shall work for others without rest, both now and when we are old; and when our last hour comes we shall meet it humbly, and there, beyond the grave, we shall say that we have suffered and wept, that our life was bitter, and God will have pity on us. Often ambiguous, at times humorous, gritty, haunting, ironic, anecdotal, facetious, lyrical, apathetic, bizarre, passionate and tragic, Chekhov's works explore the entire range of the human spirit. Taganrog was a bustling port and trading town until the railway was built. In the late 1880's Chekhov established his own country estate of Melikhovo (now a museum) where the rest of his family joined him.
