Fuller mastered some ideas of efficiency and genuinely interesting data but he certainly didn’t master efficiency in communication of his ideas. He obscured and made it difficult as hell. His neologisms and eccentricity make him seem like a quack that worked against him too. He ultimately failed didn’t he?
Thanks for these✌️
