THE MOST ACCURATE FLAT MAP OF THE EARTH
by Buckminster Fuller

http://www.bfi.org/taxonomy/term/37

The Dymaxion Map is the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents. “Dymaxion Map,” was created by Buckminster Fuller, distinguished mathematician, inventor and 20th century visionary. Traditional world maps reinforce the elements that separate humanity and fail to highlight the patterns and relationships emerging from the ever evolving and accelerating process of globalization . Instead of serving as “a precise means for seeing the world from the dynamic, cosmic and comprehensive viewpoint,” the maps we use still cause humanity to “appear inherently disassociated, remote, self-interestedly preoccupied with the political concept of its got to be you or me; there is not enough for both.”
Fuller’s intent was to emphasize how important it was to “find effective ways for all humanity to see total Earth, [because] nothing could be more prominent in all the trending of all humanity today than the fact that we are soon to become world humans.”

The Bodhisattva loves all living beings as if each were his only child. Abstain from killing and from taking what is not given. Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings. Let your thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world.

Buckminster Fuller!
Along with Tesla, two greats not given enough credit for their works.
I would add Immanuel Velikovsky to this list.
