  • Wonderful, brilliant and inspiring! One error in the video about slavery being eliminated. This is not only incorrect but today (16 years after Sagan's death) there are approximately 25 million people living in slavery.

  • @mattscottm2 Yes, and billions if one's definition covers economic slavery.

  • Good Video, but Every time someone makes a video, do you REALLY need to have some dumb hip hop beat in EVERY GOD DAM VIDEO?!??!?!?!

  • thank Jah for Youtube...this is truly beautiful

  • A great video for an amazing human being.

  • Love you , Carl Sagan.

    from Brazil

  • A message most of us haven't heard, but have all felt.

  • such an eloquent man. <3

  • great video editing. very enjoyable.

    

  • t=975s "Hey, Careful! that's museum's item! There aren't many of these today, you know!"

  • Resource Based Economy 2012!

  • the problem today with society is evolving as the human species did, therefore we must stop it before it destroys us.

  • @TheFifthGreatApe did you use some proprietary garbage in this vid? youtube says it contains sme music content

  • Well the game is on. The only question that remais is: are we going to survive to whoever wins this game?

  • @netdaniels More like will we survive ourselves?

  • @GDop26 Now you made a very, very, very, very, difficult question. I've heard that human beings are capable of great things when they are trap in to a corner.  But nowdays, it's really hard to find somebody that is not thinking only about him or herself. Sometimes people say that they are very worried about their families, but almost never we hear somebody worried about somebody else's family. Will the human kind prevail? I hope so. I really do. I'm an optitmist. :D

  • Zeitgeist is right in some points, but it is in the deep a thing which represents those things against Carl Sagan fought. Carl Sagan is beyond and on the Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist use the name of the science to promote ignorance.

  • @eusanties Zeitgeist is using the name of very famous science human to promote the Zeitgeist cause, but human kind cause is more than zeitgeist. Since my point of view seems that Zeitgeist wants to be trademark of the human kind cause. Really i don´t believe that Zeitgeist use really the scientific method. Their asserts are too free. Science i a more rigurous, serious and beautiful thing

  • @eusanties So, i love science, i love Earth, i love life, i love Carl Sagan , Michio Kaku... but i don´t love Zeitgeist. They have a point of view too radical and negative about human kind. They are too axiomatic. Too fanatic.

  • @eusanties Fuck off! you haven't undertood anything that has been brought forward to you in this video. there is nothing " radical" about a train of thought other than your own misconceptions about it or anything that is portrayed. Rethink your point of view and you might start to understand, ultimately benefitting you and the people you seek to forward it on to......

  • @eusanties then you don't understand zeitgeist:p

  • Amazing, job well done

  • at 14:30 he asks who speaks for the human species, who speaks for earth.

    my answer to this would be you, carl sagan.you.

  • Ted Turner is completely unqualified to discuss the plight of Humankind with the likes of Carl Sagan due to one factor; It's not because he's not as "smart" as or as "sharp" -say- as Dr. Sagan. It is because Turner and his ilk (The ultra-wealthy) have NO COMPASSION for Humanity. It's all about hording resources, making resources more and more scarce for the sake of scarcity. All for the purpose of making the world's People their slaves. They have to keep these bodies as long as possible. KARMA!

  • @theguitarczar Their characters are the difference. Sagan and Turner probably use roughly the same ratio of brain matter relative to the mean -though applied in fundamentally different ways. One has based his Life's Thesis on Love. The other fear. And no matter how lop-sided it may appear to have gotten in regard to which Way is Proper; LOVE WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL! We are all suffering from varying degrees of fear and the purging of it will be painful. But PURGE WE SHALL! Fear and hate WILL DIE!

  • @theguitarczar We are "funneling" (so to speak) toward The Singularity. This means that every thing that ever existed in our view of Reality is either going back to where it came, or that eventually every particle, atom, cell, person, world, galaxy, etc., will contain ALL information simultaneously. How can this go back to Karma and these bodies? The uber-wealthy will try to SURVIVE this INTACT! We all will TRY but "they" have the means to really make a concerted effort.

  • x more important then y? Please. THAN. Google on: Spelling & Grammar for dummies (updated)

  • Beatiful, calm and reasonable, just like Carl, Thank you!

  • Wow, sooo eloquent and passionate!

    Fitting tribute to Carl Sagan's birthday.

    This video should be taught in class!

    Fav'ed

  • WOW.

  • We need this second revolution now. Not with violence but with intelligence. Peace is a subtle but powerful force. It will overcome the most strongest force, my fear is that it may be too late when it does.

  • Good Video, Like Any Video With Carl Sagan In It. :)

  • @N0CR3AT0R Carl sagan supported an intelligent use of science for human growth and learning.

    The key thing is, that he supported mankind becoming a planetary species, which recognized our connection, which doesn't care about nationality.

    Whether he would have supported the exact goal of a resource based economy, vs a monetary system is separate from his appreciation for the same fundamental values.

  • @TheReasonWhyGuy exactly!!!

  • Carl sagan NEVER said anything about the TZM movement. However, what he did say was that he was left winged and we needed a more controlled way of getting energy, and we need to pollute less. And we need a smaller class different.

    He was pretty much in favour of social democrasy.

  • @gulbirk There is no such thing as a true democracy when purchasing power gives people power over decisions. You can't be equal when people have varying purchasing power.

  • @gulbirk, Well Carl did die before TZM was even conceived, so yeah of course he didn't. But the connection between the two is the total betterment of Humanity.

  • @gulbirk "The video does not advocate that Carl Sagan supported The Zeitgeist Movement as he passed long before its conception. Rather, using his own words, to simply show how Carl Sagan was in line with the thoughts and direction of this movement that concerns all of human kind."

  • Carl sagan smoked weed :)

  • @N0CR3AT0R Actually, Sagan spoke to the Jacque Fresco regularly about this type of thing, most of the stuff he says has already been discussed by them over phone conversations. Jacque Fresco was the person who Peter Joseph learned from, whom created TZM. The things discussed by all of them are similar if not identical.

  • @N0CR3AT0R How do you know he wouldnt of supporeted TZM, hes also not here to defend himself against a snizz like you. I find it offensive to see someone contradict themselves and not realize it and most importantly not admit it. You Snizzer! haha

  • If Carl Sagan was alive today he would 100% support the Zeitgeist Movement, what an incredible man

    Peace, Love & Sustainability

  • @TheFifthGreatApe The tittle contradicts what you say, regardless he is used to further and give credibility to the movement.

  • im so tired... so tired of money.. mommy i dont want to play monopoly anymore.

  • Yeah, Carl Sagan is like the Chuck Norris of Brilliance :)

    stupid joke but very true eh :D

  • Wow Carl Sagan was more than a cosmologist. He was a thinker, a philosopher and a brilliant man.

  • Dr.Sagan cured my ignorance. I'm eternally thankful :)

  • wonderful video! even with CC. awesome.

  • @voiceofreason467 I have responded to many trolls.. most of them are anarcho capitalists who are indoctrinated into thinking that "free market" or "true" free market capitalism will help us... which is pure nonsense. It is again, a method to band aid the leaking box, not replacing the box itself, which an RBE would do.

  • We are the 5th ape; chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans being the other four. Great channel. : )

  • He should be the ambassador of Earth! (and also He was that person, who could explain what would be, and where to find, how to imagine the fourth dimension... and i was 13 years old, and it doest proof my genius, but his!)

  • I wish they didn't waste money on that piece of crap movie when this would do much better. It also has a much better plan. Just become united. Help the poor. etc. Money is part of humanity, it's just a system, so lets use it right.

  • What an awesome fucking video

  • 11:36 the guy is just in love with carl

  • I love how Ted Turner looks like he has a total man-crush! hahaha!

    Carl must have been so radiant to see speaking about what's really important.

  • I'm pretty sure the Z movement will not deliver on its promises. Carl Sagan is a great man, the problems and questions raised are real and worth considering, but the Z project is NOT the answer.

    Let's hope we can organize into something better, something that actually works.

  • @firuinthehouse WHat has TZM ever promised. They are simply showing the world to ppl as it is. They are illustrating the path we are headed and have devised for now a POSSIBLE solution. They in no way are against expansion or change to their PROPOSED solution. Again, TZM is not some politician on a podium spitting out PROMISES of change to the public. SO I don't know where you think they have promised anything. They know fully the magnitude of the PROPOSED change.

  • @Shep11111 Well for instance they TALK about using the scientific method, and after years of launching their whole thing, I don't think they've used it once in anything they did. Look at their website. Can you really trust people who did THAT to organize anything important?

    I look at the stuff they've actually done in 3+ years, and am thoroughly amused at the incompetence. A better system? Give me a break :)

  • @firuinthehouse If you're so smart to play the clown on youtube, maybe you have some more tangible solutions, other than uploading videos with poor argumentation based on one movie you saw and that's it, suddenly you know everything. Did democracy live up to your expectation? If yes, you must be rich enough to not care about this shit. If no, then maybe you have a better plan, please tell us, otherwise go read or watchsomething more meaningful to you, don't bash people on internet with your ego.

  • @khameeleeon Well if I were to choose an ideology from what's out there, I'd say An-Cap, as seen on the channel "stefbot" for instance, is pretty good. As for TZM, at least for me, it's just a lot of noise and hopes and woo-woo, with no real usable content. But it's not a point we can argue at the moment, time and history will show how useful / useless they really were. My bet is on them continuing their downward slope and fading away completely.

  • when turner is saying that when banks lend money out to people and that the money gets reinvested wat does sagan say? It's between 8 and 8:30ish.

  • 9:00... i think we shouldnt waste money either but, Star Wars?! Lets just take away the money we use on our military and drug wars.

  • @TheFifthGreatApe I know, I toke a peak at the website and I searched and searched and couldn't find the track, if it's not 2much trouble u can help me out thanks bro!!

  • Sagan would never call himself a Zeitgeist for the same reason's he did not call himself an atheist.

  • Nice video, but what did you do to the sound? It's horrible.

  • He was near the answer to solve our problems as a society.

    Let's face it, Jacques completed the puzzle by saying "let's take money out of the scene". It's the "checkmate" to our main problem - the distortion of human values.

  • @RestauranteChines Exactly, and all the division and different classes money creates in order for one very big secret asshole to divide and rule us, for whom all these industrialists, bankers, and media types who are connected through secret societies work for. It's all too fucking clear now! People have become aware, now they must become awake.

  • @RestauranteChines Most people know this... imo any enligthened NON philistine mind knows these ETERNAL truths, most big thinkers, who mainly tend to be physicists/math/philosophers (obviously). They recognize these truths fast, nothing can exist without truth, not equality, justice or even peace.

  • Carl Sagan's genius x Earth population = ?

  • Just wanted to add my thanks for crediting my music in this video. Great work... it is great to see other people taking notice of the changes that we cannot run away from. Natural evolution of the mind observor. ;-p

  • everyone who watches this video like and favorite it so it can get more views and more listeners..

    humans r fuckd

  • I resonate with everything Mr. Sagan is saying. I wish my friends and family understood. It's hard to live where I am when the people that are mostly physically present in my life tell me i'm wrong. I need a new beginning.

  • That is very true, yeah, we have been evolving very slowly and almost without having more than enough technology to quealquer problem or anything else we need. Science is slow and leaves many people with problems, we are in crisis worldwide, and even American capitalism has not served to raise the crisis she has a great nation with great wealth falls, the money is enslaving. This society, as I said in my class of English, this is a society that is sick and need cure. And project is the cure. :)

  • 4 people hate earth >:|

  • @Red9968 and belive and god. which means that not everyone may agree, but should not resign, will not be a god, or a sick society that we will be unstoppable. It is always important to change, we are tired of living like slaves. We want to stop crime, wars, evil deeds relatives, etc.. We are tired of a life that gives us value. Today I convinced three people to see this project and they agreed to participate, who would say that the messengers of peace by convincing people to go the right way.

  • @Red9968 I forget to say, sorry my english its very bad, belive me. wen i wrrite this:

    We are tired of a life that gives us value.

    Its supost to be:

    We are tired of a life that does not give us value

    My sorry by the mistake. :)

    I support this project yes :)

  • interesting,also check out the arrivals

  • Sagan lookin like a straight up pimp @ 4:00 ahah

  • Carl Sagan would be impressed by public access to the internet where answers are only a click away

  • The Scientific Method applied to social concern is the most epic win of all

  • Comment removed

  • Love love LOVE this video.

  • So freaking awesome!!!!! Thank you sooo much! Very nicely put together. Love love love it. Can't thank you enough.

  • Fuck. So beautiful. Why must you be gone Mr Sagan? TZM could really do with you!

  • "The sun isn't much older". Earth 4.5 billion years : The Sun 13 billion years. not much older. Last year in Africa 2,000,000 years old skeletons were found, so humans are much longer on this planet than Carl Sagan thought...

  • Comment removed

  • @stefanmetodijev The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago when a hydrogen molecular cloud collapsed. You might want to check your data before attempting to ridicule Carl Sagan, of the the greatest men, as well as of the greatest scientists, who ever lived. =)

  • @stefanmetodijev

    You wont find one single answer on the question og how old our species are by experts. I have heard from 100000 years to 5 million years. This depends on the definition of 'the human species' used.

  • @stefanmetodijev get your facts straight. The sun is 4,57 billion years old. It's the universe that's about 13 billion years old. and no, the skeleton wasn't 2,000,000 years old, but 200,000 years old.

  • @marvintheone Ok. I apologize for my ignorance...

    P.S. I was assured that the oldest human skeleton, found in S. Africa was 2000000yrs old. That's what they've said on tv.

  • carl sagan u r the one

  • 4 people don't live on planet Earth.

  • @TVPchallenge You know, Brandy, not everyone is a collectivist/communist drone on this planet. In fact most people aren't, what with Communism being empirically proven wrong and all, you're the minority here, and to be honest, I'm you still even exist.

  • @TheGoldenKing20 Communism isn't even close. Do you have anything else? Or is your mind on a recursive loop, where, every time we demonstrate how this is gravely unlike communism, you forget everything, and go back to argument #1. Grow up.

  • @Youanden I'll find a new argument when I need one, as long as you keep advocating an empirically proven wrong system like Communism, that's what I'm gonna keep calling you: Communists.

  • @TheGoldenKing20 @Youanden @TVPchallenge

    Guys! TheGoldenKing20 was JUST on another YT clip which shows PJ in an RT interview. There he was arguing for an hour about Communism and Jacque being a "sad husk" and calling people names in a condescending manner. He is a sad depressing troll, don't waste your time with this guy. Just let him waste his life in his "Pro-western Superiority ideologies" and in his own virtual world ... signing out!

  • @valentin6li Hush! Back to your bong party, Hippie.

  • @TheGoldenKing20

    Seriously kid ... grow up and get a life!

    Trust me if you show intelligence in your comments and respect for fellow human beings, whom you have never met but throw vague insults and assumptions at, netizens might show some for you. Or maybe you ARE so lonely that you actually like the attention you have by getting on ppl's irks in the internet.

    I don't know what your problem is or why you have shown yourself to be so repulsive, but go out breath some air and get a life...

  • @TheGoldenKing20 and what a fool you are. TVP is not Communism. Communism has money involved. TVP does not. Root of all evil taken out. The whole culture would change because you did things because it helped others, in return, helps you as well. Communism never did that because, again, there was money involved. Take out money, people's incentive's will change. It's cultural. When you were a kid, you painted pictures because you loved doing it. Ppl in Communism still needed to pay the bills.

  • @TVPchallenge It's not that it's just that Carl Sagan will not support TZM or TVP. Carl Sagan was a realist dreamer not a fantasy dreamer.

  • @N0CR3AT0R Do you mean Carl Sagan "would" not support... since he's no longer living? And if that's the case, how can you speak for him and say what he would or would not support? This video claims neither, and is rather demonstrating that WE support what Carl Sagan has been saying all along. (In other words, we support Carl Sagan, not the other way around...) What we advocate is not impossible, so his "dreams" for a unified planet are indeed in line w/the aims & goals of The Zeitgeist Movement.

  • LOL - Who disliked this??? They must not live on EARTH.

  • nice video... keep it up ;)

  • I get the feeling Sagan was talking to a "wall", most of the time he was speaking to Turner...sad. He DEFINITELY would've been advocating the Zeitgeist Movement if he had lived!

  • Got goosebumps thanks hey what the name of the track at the start before the Zeitgeist Theme thanks.

  • @Katharsis540 My channel logo music is original in its production. If you'd like to hear a slightly more robust version check out 'Products of Artificial Scarcity' and 'Problems Motivate Change' in my uploads.

  • @TheFifthGreatApe Thanks do like both versions there a possible way to get these tracks thanks peace.

  • Great up friend. Who can get enough Sagan?! :)

  • 4 people are the stupidest people I've ever even heard of.

  • Excellent video bro keep up the good work!

  • Amazing compilation! Truly inspiring! Excellent work! :)

  • I like Carl Sagan but I don't think he would really be into this whole Zeitgeist thing. It seems a bit far fetched.

  • @FailBlob Seems a bit far fetched you say? Please watch this little video clip:

    /watch?v=ktmCjYoZkfg

    Its short story of a guy who goes back in time and has a run in with a human from the hunter/gatherer period.

  • @FailBlob If you actually listen to what he's saying it's exactly what the Zeitgeist Movement is advocating, there's nothing far fetched about a Resource Based Economy. You make your own reality, if you say it's far fetched then you'll never see it. For me I'm there already, I grow some of my own food, looking to install green energy and tanks for collecting water and thinking of ways to use technology to simplify my life. We live in an RBE, or die in this reality.

  • Man I'm tearful right now. Thanks for all you did and all your passion carl.

    It will never be forgotten.

    This truth is immortal.

  • I imagine it took you some time to put this together. Well done, thank you so much.

  • When is this?

  • amazing and so inspiring!

  • I think its amazing that this video has 2 dislikes, I mean what can anyone dislike about this video....Its such a wake up call, Its just truth and a powerfull warning. I that case I guess I Should be surprised that there are not more dislikes since people dont like to hear the truth

  • does any1 know the name of the tv show from which comes the part shown between 1.24 and 2.05? pls pm me :)

  • @NikosZeitgeist This is a clip from an interview by Ted Turner with Carl Sagan.

    Here is the first one...

    watch?v=k2zMa3unSN8

  • @NikosZeitgeist You mean Cosmos? You can see that on Netflix. Watched it a lot when I was growing up.

  • What a wonderful video. Thank you. The more people join the conversation to change the current paradigm, the more the reality of a new one becomes possible.

    To those that see the Zeitgeist Movement contrary to what was said in this video, really don't understand the movement at all. Love over Fear is the way forward.

  • <3 carl sagan

  • @seanan79 "A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed" -Carl Sagan

    That is basically the main point of Zeitgeist. And what "conspiracy nonsense" would you be talking about?

  • @seanan79 did you even watch the video?

  • These days im watching Carl's cosmos documentaries, he would be proud with the zeitgeist movement...

  • Fuck man. Awesome. Carl knew it as we do. Peace soon. Cardiffchapter.

  • Pure beauty.

    Love Sagan, and The Zeitgeist Movement is but a proof he still lives.

    Great vid as usual. Thanks

  • Very well done :)

  • Hi, I'm working on captions for this. Will let you know once I've completed them (using Universal Subtitles).

    Cheers!

  • @MDKKnD Thanks, the captions work great!

  • Brilliant vid we need to share it as much as possible. This is a great service. My regards

  • Just finished reading 'The Demon Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark'.

    Such a brilliant book I would recommend it to anyone. Such a great writer and advocate of science.

  • FANTASTIC!! - goosebumps the whole time. Thanks TFGA

    Viva TZM/TVP/

    VP Hugs - Mamma D^_^

  • 5:00 to 7:00 is my favourite part. I wish he was around today to lecture the current masses. His voice is so hypnotic and soothing.

  • I could listen to him talk all day. His knowledge is so addictive.

  • @xxxserialxxx i know hes really the only guy i can listen to forever. he always has something interesting to say.

  • @syndrah Exactly. At even if, for some reason it's not interesting, he still hypnotizes you with the tone of his voice.

  • I'm going to be a scientist. That's all there is to it. Fuck being an ignoramus.

  • We need you now Carl...more than ever.

  • Hello. Thank YOU.GREAT Work Here. LOVE Always John xxxxxxxxx

  • Much Respect to the one of the greatest minds ever.... Love the Zeitgeist music with Carl Speaking

  • He is a beautifull human being..... Carl Sagan.... his eyes speak for himself... that kindness.... that inteligence...

  • Thanks so much for this video!

  • Jaw dropping, inspirational. He was will eternally be my hero. A great man, regardless of your position on his message, he-stomped-the-terra

  • Great Find! Thanks for posting

  • worth it to watch this video !

  • Zeitgeist isn't a movement or a fad...It's our natural state....It is the inescapable next step of our evolutionary curve. Step boldly into the light...

  • @rogan71 true, but I am also afraid, that not all will decide to take this step...

  • sorry Carl Bush never heard you whatsoever.

  • Great video

  • Look at the interviewer 7:55-13:07 how he stopped talking and just sat mesmerized by the wisdom from Sagan. Thats how it should be, people who can't understand or even grasp the poor condition our society and this planet is in should stop babbling and just listen to people who have knowledge.

  • Carl Sagan would have luvd the Zeitgeist Movement. People like him easily understands why this movement is so important for this planet and for people.
