Critical Path
Rereading Buckminster Fuller's magnum mainstream opus, Critical Path, has convinced me to avoid fine-tuning my so-called career. In the baseball metaphor, I've been trying to decide just how to hold my glove to catch the ball, but the batter just hit the ball to the other side of the field.
Homo sapiens, according to Google's (define: homo sapiens) link to http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn, refers to "the only surviving hominid; species to which modern man belongs; bipedal primate having language and ability to make and use complex tools; brain 1400 cc." The category seems overly broad, since it includes both Bucky and me. Do I belong to the same species as that guy?
