4d.

http://designmuseum.org/design/r-buckminster-fuller

I like this dude. He had a philosophy of 4 dimensions to consider when design, the fourth being time. He suggested a careful consideration on long-term consequences over the span of time for the things we create.

Sometimes I feel cheated. I want so much to do what is right for the world and planet, but I do not feel that the design of the world we now live in makes this entirely possible. In order to succeed in planning to fix the things that are wrong, we still do damage. I suppose the hope is that the good will have an exponentially good effect.
