Fuller, R.B.: Described as Engineer-Saint:
“I regard Bucky as one of the world’s most valuable natural resources and I hope that the main function of the Institute will be to conserve that resource. . . I think he’s valuable because he’s in a unique position: he inspires hope among the young people, and this is absolutely essential because we now have this curious malaise among the young-- interested in astrology, mysticism, and witchcraft and this sort of nonsense, which, you know, could be a sign of a disintegrating civilization. But he shows that technology can, in fact, save our civilization. . . he is one of the people who inspire hope among the next generation upon whom everything depends. I hope I won’t embarrass him by repeating my description of him. I think he’s the world’s first engineer-saint.”
