Think "Design" - Think "Tools" - Buckminster Fuller

Another follow-up by Joo Hock to Dr. DeBono's Talk on thinking posted on OIA.

De Bono talked about Design thinking.

In parallel with this idea, Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller, who called himself a CADS, (Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist) talked about "redesigning" our environment in order to change human behavior in preferred ways, for the betterment of total humanity. In other words, instead of trying to reform man, Bucky preferred to "new" form the environment through Design Science Revolution (DSR), rather than watch mankind resort to bloody revolutions.

And DSR is Tools or Artefact Invention, doing more with less, via technology, thus upping the performance of our resources, creating real life-support Wealth.

DSR requires creativity and innovation.

So if you want to learn how to think like Buckminster Fuller?
Think Tools,
Think Artifact Invention.

What can you invent?
Or re-invent? (many years ago I had a friend who say "don't try to re-invent the wheel"? Good thing I didn't take him seriously) Go ahead re-invent the wheel. You might come out with a better wheel, and if not, you would have re-invented yourself, while trying.
