"Only Integrity is Going to Count"

This is a 5-CD set from Critical Path Publishing. This CD set presents Buckminster Fuller on Integrity Day in Los Angeles, California, February 26, 1983. One of the reasons that Critical Path Publishing exists is to get R. Buckminster Fuller material into the hands of as many people as possible.

"You never can catch universe unaware, not ready." "Universe never said, 'I don't know what to do about that,' " said R. Buckminster Fuller. "Bucky," as he was known, taught that universe operates in harmony and balance within eternal principles and laws without fail, and without contradiction or interference with each other. To him this was the integrity of universe.

In 1983, at age 87, during the last fours months of his life, Bucky gave a series of four all-day lectures titled "Integrity Day" to overflow audiences in four cities. This CD is the audio portion of a video of the first presentation, in Los Angeles, just days after he received the Presedential Medal of Freedom.

Bucky hoped these "Integrity Days" would provide a forum for people to consider the importance of individual integrity as an essential catalyst to help humanity pass through what he called "Earthians' critical moment."

This five-hour-long recording is a passionate summary of Bucky's ideas. He reviews his assessment of humanity's most pressing problems, global strategies for solving these problems, and the conclusions reached from his "56-year experiment." Thought-provoking questions from the audience are answered with Bucky's distinct humor and insight.
