“You can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
I saw this quote today and felt it neatly summed up the mission of LUMIN. Creating a stronger, better future won’t happen by sniping about the status quo: we need to influence society to effect transformation by bringing everyone along.
Thanks to Richard Buckminster Fuller for the quote. An architect, scientist, writer, designer, inventor, philosopher, and futurist he died in 1983.
