Buckminster Fuller found the impediment to clear thinking to be politics, which is to say fantasy. If humans are as Bucky conceives them to be, "local universe technology," then the fantasies of politics, would certainly seem to throw a veil between the technology and the body upon which it operates. This drama between the father and the sons, which is at once, the politics of the west, interferes with technology. It is human fantasy which impedes the realization of the ideal; the ideal being a human free of fantasy, a "local universe technology." "I got no mommy-daddy."

The language of technique, that is to say science and engineering, abstracts the fantasy from the world, leaving a purely technical body. But no human actually lives in it; there is no human experience free of fantasy. The economy of the corporate body is always and only political economy. Mythology and technology begin and end together.

Purification is not the way. The way is dis-incorporation, the untying of knots, the decontruction of the family complex. Some refer to the way as dying.
