In a world full of danger, to be a potentially seeable object is to be constantly exposed to danger. Self-consciousness, then, may be the apprehensive awareness of oneself as potentially exposed to danger by the simple fact of being visible to others. The obvious defence against such a danger is to make oneself invisible in one way or another.
R. D. Laing
Obvious
The explicable requires the
The explicable requires the inexplicable. Experience requires the nonexperienceable. The obvious requires the mystical.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We must start with
We must start with scientific fundamentals, and that means with the data of experiments and not with assumed axioms predicated only upon the misleading nature of that which only superficially seems to be obvious. It is the consensus of great scientists that science is the attempt to set in order the facts of experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything you’ve learned in
Everything you’ve learned in school as obvious becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Observation of my life
Observation of my life to date shows that the larger the number for whom I work, the more positively effective I become. Thus, it is obvious that if I work always and only for all humanity, I will be optimally effective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything you’ve learned in
Everything you’ve learned in school as obvious becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There’s not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Strictly speaking, it probably
Strictly speaking, it probably is not “necessary” for the federal government to tax anyone directly; it could simply print the money it needs. However, that would be too bold a stroke, for it would then be obvious to all what kind of counterfeiting operation the government is running. The present system combining taxation and inflation is akin to watering the milk; too much water and the people catch on.

All the world Loves
All the world Loves You,
but You are nowhere to be found,
Hidden and yet . . . completely obvious!
Rumi
Love is an open
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
