A reference to Henry Ford using "Washington Carver's assembly line" was added without a citation. Is there a source for this assertion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:483:4300:391:0:0:0:4AC (talk) 03:01, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

My attention was drawn to this article since it was linked from http://paulgraham.com/tablets.html. The Paul Graham work would be citable if published; at the moment it's on the edge. (Graham may be quotable, even from his website, on the subject of internet startups, but his expertise on Buckminster Fuller probably can't be attested in publications). I notice we currently refer to a work of Francis Heylighen, a Belgian academic, though we have unfortunately chosen an unpublished paper by him: "Complexity and information overload in society.." There is also an external link to a personal web page by Flemming Funch, who doesn't seem to be a recognized authority. Since 'ephemeralization' should be a good search term for Google, I hope we can improve the references. EdJohnston (talk) 19:50, 3 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is this related to Moore's law? If so, it should be mentioned. ask123 (talk) 15:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

@Z4i3r7tg6j: It very hard to track what you are trynig to add to this article given the that you use no edit summaries, but the massive quotations within the article aren't a useful format and you also add a large amount of apparently unsourced statements. you need to reference better and cut the quotes.Unbh (talk) 13:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have reduced the total amount of blockquoted text to three (3) short sentences. Use tags to mark the unsourced statements. Z4i3r7tg6j (talk) 13:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please revert your edit to the stable version and then discuss what you want to add. Must it what you have added appears you be WP:SYNTH even with the quote removed. It is impossible to resolve this while you make large numbers of edits without proper edit summaries. Unbh (talk) 16:34, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your claims about WP:SYNTH are devoid of substance. Paste the statements which you deem WP:SYNTH here, on the talk page. Z4i3r7tg6j (talk) 16:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pretty much all of your new 'concept' section, which is full out unsourced statements like this:

The most intuitive man's life in the ephemeral, ghostlike universe, with only vestigial physical laws, can be called "dreaming awake at the edge of time". Eternal youth, any wishes instantaneously granted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbh (talk • contribs) 07:58, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply 

Fuller defines ephemeralization as an accelerating progress towards mind over matter—it is in the first sentence of the article, and is proven by a quotation from Fuller. "Any wishes instantaneously granted" is what mind over matter ultimately means. Your failure to keep in mind the definitive first sentence of the article is indicative of a severe deficit in working memory, which is innate and incurable. There is no point in further talking to you, because you will make the same judgemental errors over and over again. Z4i3r7tg6j (talk) 06:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Cut the personal attacks please. Your summary above is exactly the sort of OR I'm talking about. Unbh (talk) 08:27, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

What made Fuller choose the term in the first place? I cannot see any meaningful connection to the term Ephemerality. If the original meaning is documented somewhere, it should be added. Who can help? --Kuhni74 (talk) 07:37, 28 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
