One aspect of Buckminster Fuller that many people don't want you to know is that he had a number of politically incorrect opinions which are in the archives but would tarnish his public reputation if they were easily accessible. I believe this is the main reason that certain aspects of his records are kept behind lock and key as it were.

I'd be curious to know if he ran afoul of the verboten PC topics (race, gender, sexuality); considering the era in which he lived and worked, it seems not-unlikely that he'd be a "product of his time".

At the same time, he clearly held many political positions which were much more controversial in his era, but that the left-libertarian-leaning HN crowd wouldn't find objectionable, whatever their status in the 2021 Overton window: staunchly anti-war, anti-corporate [0], and openly pursuing a post-scarcity utopia [1].

I would like to know as well.

You're defaming a dead man, the "many people" you claim "don't want you to know", the PC crowd, and yourself.
