Has anyone read this garbage

R. Buckminster Fuller's
And it Came to Pass - Not to Stay

I borrowed it from the library and immediately returned it, haven't read such garbage posing as a philosophy book in Years ever. His rants range from DNA codes to finding music in DNA and giving it a biblical meaning, all presented as a wonderfully long poem that is not a joy to read.

Did I misunderstand something, given all the praise this stuff has received?

A sample:

This is the literature and Arts section! That should be in spam and trash. :nono:

WTF is that, writing in tongues? 8-)
