When Buckminster Fuller was asked by a 12 year old boy, How would you suggest solving international problems without violence? He answered:
"I always try to solve problems by some artifact, some tool or invention that makes what people are doing obsolete so that it makes this particular kind of problem no longer relevant.
My answer would be to develop a world energy grid, an electric grid where everybody is on the same grid. All of a sudden, there would be no problems anymore, no international troubles.
Our new economic basis wouldn't be gold or dollars; it would be kilowatt hours."
