Re: [lojban] a Fullerian insight for jbopre



That type of writing was apparently just a phase for Fuller. Later in life he didn't do it nearly as much. 

And I disagree with his objection to "up" and "down". Those words can be precisely defined as outward and inward relative to a center of gravity, but outward and inward on their own don't share that center of gravity component in their meanings.

Well, I'm only responding to the cited fragments :) And perhaps I should stop there before I embarass myself ;)
