For a very long time people have been trying to think outside the box. We feel - as Buckminster Fuller did - that it is time to think without the box. The following videos go into details on why that is. What does it look like to think without the box? The answer to that is spherical thinking. To learn more about that - go here.
"I'm going to talk for a moment about structure" - Bucky #unboxingreality
This is a short clip from the first episode of BBC's Horizon: "The World Of Buckminster Fuller"
In it Bucky demonstrates to a room packed full of british students of architecture how non-existent the non-triangulated cube is. He also talks a little about how two lines can never pass through the same point at the same time and shows the three basic structural systems of synergetic spacetime, foureyes, eighteyes and twentyeyes (dozenandeighteyes).

we're sphere & tao
In this video, we are wondering where we're at, how we got sphere and where we can go now. By moving along the Way of the Spheres, we gather new perspectives on old ideas that are still dominating the way humanimals relate to the world. These perspectives from the margins illuminate hidden flaws in the logic of "pure mathematics", paradoxa built into a framework that has only a tangential relationship to our corporeality.

"platonic solids" deconstructed with #synergetics In this video I show why the popular category of the "#platonicsolids" is not valid from the perspective of evidence-based #synergetics.
dissolve&bloom with struppi's synergetic many eyes
This is a wordless experience of the unboxing of reality that comes with a spherical, synergetic mindset.

Struppi reads synergetics: 820.00 tools of geometry.
So this is me, reading some part of Richard Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics - The Geometry Of Thinking. In this case, paragraphs 820.00 ff.
This section of synergetics is looking into the Tools of Geometry, as employed by the ancient Greeks. Their inventory of tools, dividers, straightedge and scriber, do omit the most fundamental of tools, the embodied medium they drew upon. This leads to far reaching consequences, including our continuous delusion of a "3D-reality".
Please let me know if you enjoyed this and if you have favorite parts of synergetics you'd like me to read!
Love be with you

Pythagoras Tetraktys, synergetically
The ancient greek geometers have had a crucial influence on our understanding of space and time, most of all Euklid with his dogmatic axioms of cubic space. But not all of ancient greece was subscribed to that abstract model. Pythagoras and his jolly bunch of friends were not, I believe. They used a rather synergetic model to explain a great variety of cosmic truth, including music and philosophy, all based on ten humble pebbles, known as the Tetraktys.
In this video I take a look at that model but do so from an operational, synergetic perspective, not the conventional one that is biased to frame this whole explanation firmly embedded in our abstract ideas of static space....

how logical and efficient is the rectangular framework, really?
here's a more classic mathematical and geometric argumentation for the necessity of a paradigm shift in our frame of reference. good old ruler and compass construction and formulaic exploration of rightangle/square vs. leftangle/hexagon.

A different perspective on the Pyramids and the ancient pillars of civilizations
In this video I share some of my thoughts on the pyramids that ancient civilizations around the globe build. I ask some questions with regards to purpose and lasting effects of these megalithic monuments and how they tie into our common sense and thought patterns. I wonder whether there's a better way to understand the cosmos than the hierarchical one we inherited.
