¶ Dymaxion (2)
Index Entry
Dymaxion:
"They said I was a four-syllable man. The name for the house had to have four syllables. They had a list of many words and syllables as sort of a portrait of Fuller. They confronted me with different ones: a pair at a time; I could reject the one I liked least from each of many pairs but the alternate had to survive. (This was at the time I was meeting – Gurdjieff?-- Koryzbski?-- in Chicago). When the exercise was completed 'dymaxion was the word that survived.
“!Marshall Field copyrighted ‘dymaxion’ and presented the copyright to me as a present. But, of course, I had been giving a little talk beside that model I guess five or six times a day.”
