Inefficient Nature by Trevor Blake

Submitted by synchronofile on Sat, 2009-01-17 19:48.

R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983) claimed that nature was efficient. Fuller claimed the efficiency of nature was the model he used for his inventions, inventions with which he attempted to ‘do more with less.’ As part of a critical analysis of Fuller and what he called comprehensive anticipatory design science, this essay will demonstrate that Fuller’s claim is false.

That Blake himself lives, seems to prove Nature's efficient use of the laws of thermodynamics. If Blake was correct..... well, Blake wouldn't exist for us to watch him work through this ignorance.

What is non-natural?

"Equating nature and efficiency and removing the possibility that
there is a non-natural or non-efficient thing makes either nature or
efficiency or both impossible to observe." -TB
