Chronofiles: Data Mining Your Life for Comprehensive Thinking

To further inform our Comprehensive Thinking, at this event we will interpret and analyze two important aspects of R. Buckminster Fuller's fascinating essay "Man With A Chronofile" as published on 1 April 1967 in "Saturday Review". You may download a PDF of this short 5 page essay at https://www.unz.com/print/SaturdayRev-1967apr01-00014/

To prepare for this topic, I recommend reading Bucky's essay: it provides important context.

If you want to further think about the two aspects of Comprehensive Thinking that I will highlight during the event, Chronofiles and Integrity, you can also read the essay that I prepared to organize my thinking for the event: https://www.cjfearnley.com/CfC/2021/10/chronofiles-data-mining-your-life-for-comprehensive-thinking/

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
