FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

This is very interesting, for it resonates with what I have had learned from architect-inventor-educator-author-futurist R Buckminster Fuller, often acknowledged as Planet Earth's Friendly Genius, back in the early nineties, when his magnum opus Critical Path talked about the Precessional Effect using the Honey Bee as an analogy.

As he put it so eloquently:

"... Seemingly inadvertently, the honey-bee goes about his business of gathering honey.
Precessionally, at ninety degree’s to his body and his flight path, his legs gather pollen from one flower and “accidentally “ take this pollen to the next flower, resulting in cross pollination.
The outcome of this seemingly inadvertent accidental activity is that the bee contributes enormously to life on earth.
Of the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world’s food, over 70 are pollinated by bees..."!

Bravissimo!
