Yes, me too, read all of Bucky's books, built a 30 foot geodesic home, then a 30 foot geodesic glass mirror solar dish and got a geodesic paraboloid patent.  He saw himself as a latter day Great Pirate, and in fact stole the geodesic design from an East German optometrist and got a geodesic patent identical to the East German planetarium building.  I showed him the dish and he said he invented that too, but when pressed admitted he missed an obvious idea.  I really enjoyed his very fluid and somewhat narcissistic speeches.

Don't carpool alone.

"Fuller believed (and, his acolytes would say, proved) that cooperation is not only morally superior, but pragmatically necessary."

I thought I invented pragmatic idealism, but obviously I stole it from Bucky.  It was an honest theft.

I wrote the book Buckminster Fuller's Universe in 1988.  At the time this concept was not as critical as it is now.  We no longer have the reources to make war while supporting all the people on our planet.  In fact, since 1976 when we proved that we have enough food and other resources to support all life on Spaceship Earth, war has been obsolete.  We don't have to fight over stuff anymore.  In fact, Bucky said we are each billionaires, but we don't know it.   There is enough....

The famously big ego persona of William McDonough was asked at Bioneers in 2000, who else inspires your sustainability work?

The answer McDonough gave - Bucky Fuller.
