Experiment_2.0

In 1927 at the age of 32, bankrupt and jobless, living in inferior housing in Chicago, Illinois, a man named Richard Buckminster Fuller watched his young daughter Alexandra die of pneumonia. Feeling responsible he began drinking. On the verge of suicide Fuller made the decision instead to embark upon what he called, "an experiment…to find what a single individual can contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity."

Inspired by Fuller and the singular purpose by which he was driven, I am beginning my own copycat experiment in the same vein.

From here forward, this blog will be a record of my experiment. Though I'm not going to keep as rigorous notes of my day-to-day existence as Fuller (he made journal entries every 15 minutes) this will be a log of the things I do in fulfillment and development of my experiment.
