R. Buckminster Fuller:
“Everything I Know”
The historic 42-hour session with Bucky.
From the Preface:
During the last two weeks of January 1975 Buckminster Fuller gave an extraordinary series of lectures concerning his entire life’s work. These thinking out loud lectures span 42 hours and examine in depth all of Fuller’s major inventions and discoveries from the 1927 Dymaxion house, car and bathroom, through the Wichita House, geodesic domes, and tensegrity structures, as well as the contents of Synergetics. Autobiographical in parts, Fuller recounts his own personal history in the context of the history of science and industrialization. The stories behind his Dymaxion car, geodesic domes, World Game and integration of science and humanism are lucidly communicated with continuous reference to his synergetic geometry. Permeating the entire series is his unique comprehensive design approach to solving the problems of the world. Some of the topics Fuller covered in this wide ranging discourse include: architecture, design, philosophy, education, mathematics, geometry, cartography, economics, history, structure, industry, housing and engineering.

Are there any mp3 sources for these lectures? It’d be great to be able to listen to them off-line.
If not, can anyone recommend a good tool for turning RealAudio streams into mp3?
Thanks!

I’m not aware of any mp3 sources for the lectures.

Once again I am in your debt, Dr Grey. I raise my cap to you sir!
The instructions in the article are really easy to follow - in fact, they deserve to be inscribed in stone for the benefit of humankind (and the puzzlement of future archaeologists).
I am now happily converting RealAudio files into mp3 format and experimenting with bit-rates. I’d better make some room on that mp3 player for Bucky!

Wow!! I personally knew Bucky. I was the one who took him to Apple Computer and introduced him to Steve Jobs who gave him a tour of the Cupertino facility.
I am so thrilled to find this being served for FREE. This is the greatest discovery I have ever made on the web.

I recently wrote a guide explaining how to convert .ra files to mp3 using only open source software (mplayer and lame) on windows. You can find it here : www.digital-atheist.com/tutorials.html

[…] Wer Fuller selbst gerne einmal reden hören und sehen will, kann sich Aufnahmen seines legendären 42-stündigen Vortrags Everything I know streamen lassen (die Seite ist allerdings recht häufig nicht zu erreichen). […]

seems these audio and video files are only a few minutes long each. Is this right, I thought it was gonna be a 42 hour marathon on amazement. Have I done something wrong?? Still some great footage of a great mind/man
