Throughout his life, Fuller was concerned with the question "Does [[humanity]] have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on [[planet]] [[Earth]], and if so, how?" Considering himself an average [[individual]] without special monetary means or academic degree he chose to devote his life to this question, trying to identify what he, as an individual, could do to improve [[human condition|humanity's condition]], which large organizations, governments, and private enterprises inherently could not do.
