vanishedone commented on the word livingry
New Yorker: 'Buckminster Fuller was fond of neologisms. He coined the word livingry, as the opposite of weaponry—which he called killingry—and popularized the term spaceship earth. (He claimed to have invented debunk, but probably did not.) Another one of his coinages was ephemeralization, which meant, roughly speaking, dematerialization.'
