Quick question someone help me... My question with this type of economy... What about the gifts that we can't share like beauty isn't those men or women who posses this gift don't they have a monopoly that they will use to corrupt and those without beauty won't they be envious considering we all pretty much want the same things...because who is richer than a pretty woman she gets to do what she wants say what she want without concequence
@MudHut67 It's easy to be communal with resources but what about the resources a person can't share that isn't fare like good looks which gives the a monopoly on sex and mates that's just one example. So what can zeitgeist do about that. Those things are just important. Case and point ask yourself who really wants to be warren buffet. He is a billionaire but he's old and ugly, ask anyone what would they rather be him or young and attractive... beauty is more powerful or just as
First of all this isn't the Zeitgeist movement, this is the Venus Project (two different things). Secondly, I still have no idea what you are talking about. I am assuming that English is your first language, so please try to be more concise and succinct so people can understand you."Good looks" isn't a resource,neither are any other physical attributes. And why are you talking about Warren Buffet? He has nothing to do with this. Again,please try to make your point more understandable
I am depressed and I take bupropion. Without it my view on life is negative and my view of myself needs work. With it i can stop focusing on me and focus on people I care about and I'm not depressed most of the time.
It is dependency on a drug and I don't like it but is it really a bad thing to choose the easy way out and not be depressed?
you know what's really depressing? having so many idiots around you that you know they will never change. if we could bring about a set of ideas that make people open minded, curious and really aware, then maybe life wouldn't be so depressing anymore.
i'm sorry to tell that i think making all people apply the scientific method to their life is not for this century. it's too far ahead
so low levels of dopamine or other neurotransmitters is just psychiatrists conspiracy? Anyways, mr. Frescos idea is similar to Seligmans theory, so maybe he wasn't looking in right psychology books.
@daPawlak i don't think he buys the brain chemistry imbalance theories too much. Many psychiatrists don't buy it either and they know that there is no objective measurements for psychiatric diagnosis.
@thevenusprojectmedia much as i love fresco, hes only dealing with the psychological aspect of depression, hes not taking into account the biological aspect. see robert sapolsky on depression.
maybe you're right, but I think that he's focusing on the people that suffer some level of depression without any biological disorder
on the other hand, applying changes in the way we think, even the people with biological disorders that could cause depression, GAD, etc, could experience great improvement in ther life quality
@opethgarzaMD watched this a while ago, thought he was talking about the clinical term major depression, was he not? that includes biology. focusing purely on the psychological aspect helps, yes, but i doubt it would help anyone with a serious degree of clinical depression, and especially when they got other mental illnesses combined, such as ADD and anxiety disorder. jacques great at a lot of things, but after watching these 2 videos, i dont believe an understanding of depression is one of em.
by experience, I think that most of the depressed persons in the world (not all of them) are stucked in a depressed state cause they didn't learn how to deal with some difficulties or aren't able to control their emotions in a healthy way, and a lot of them are classified into major depression
of course, there should be some tests to avoid false positives and false negatives, and in every case (biological or psychological), changing the way we think would be helpful
@opethgarzaMD i agree that changing the way we think is a big part of getting better from mental illnesses, thats what psychiatrists do. certain patients may benefit from or require medication. but most people cant just think their way out of their illness. one of the biggest points jacque made was that nearly all of these mental illnesses are a result of our sick environment. "it is no measure of health to being well adjusted to a sick society." ergo, the need for drugs, in the current system.
I don't believe that there's only one way to solve depression, some people may need medications and some people won't, but definitely changing the way we think and approaching to our own emotions is helpful for every case, and every other emotional disorder, with or without biological features
@opethgarzaMD now im not saying i support the use of drugs, sometimes its necessary. another problem with the monetary system, as u well know, is the drive for profit, and people in the US are prescribed so much expensive and useless/harmful shit for the purpose of money.
and back to the original point, the biological aspect of major depression is an important aspect to take into consideration, thats where jacque is wrong. depressed people cant just think their way out.
he missed that part, or maybe he wasn't intending to cover that area, and about the drugs, I agree with you, I'm part of a medical system, and sometimes I simply don't agree, some people actually need the medication, but there's a lot of people, that in my opinion, should try something else before the indication of a drug
@thevenusprojectmedia Well both theories could be right in a sense, its the way you think , whether you know it or not that brings on the drop in dopamine. Just like chemicals in body change when aroused or excited. Take postpartum depression a womans mind must go threw so much during preganacy that it could bring on drops in dopamine
"many" you mean like 2%? Chemical imbalances are the basis for various "illnesses" or just moods. The real issue here is psychiatrists diagnosing children as mentally ill when they are depressed, we live in a "positive or die" society.
@daPawlak You may find peaks of certain chemicals in the brain during certain emotions. The same way you may find these peaks with other chemicals (or in other brain areas) while solving a math problem or skydiving. The brain is just reacting to the consciousness of the person.
not every person that suffers depression has a neurotransmitter disorder, although a state of depression can cause also that imbalance of the transmitters
it's important to identify which patients have an organic disorder and co-morbidities, and classify the depressed people that are organically healthy
most of the people that suffer any kind of depression are in the healthy class, not everyone
... so, you can start to medicate all of the people that are going through a state of sadness, and may help to control the organic neurotransmitter disorder, but usually it won't be a final solution, and in the case of the healthy patients, they could only expect symptomatic relief, but never a solution, and actually, it could be a chronic disorder or addiction to medication without learning to solve unpleasant situations
The chemical approach can help and has effects in a compensation way:
environment makes a person depressed, and that results in a chemical imbalance. Now you can adjust the chemicals but it doesn't address the cause of the imbalance.
Studies show that drugs without therapy have little significant effect in "curing" the person. WITH therapy the effect is a bit better than therapy without drugs. Other studies show that therapy WITH lsd has a great effect.
@daPawlak Jacque was referring to depression as a product of the environment, not as standalone physical problem. But the enviroment always has a great deal of effect on this.
I'm depressed because I hate humanity, for all the horrible things it has done and is currently doing, and just how deeply screwed up everything really is when you examine it closely.
Everywhere I look, I just see lies and corruption.
The thought of that a resource-based economy could very well become reality in the future is one of the few things keeping me together.
@RainboomLune If it is of any help, if you see lies and corruption in your environment, try to change it, beginning with your loved ones, by informing them about ideas that might improve their way of thinking or living; but in order to do that, you first have to be informed yourself, about what you need, what people really need, in their lives. You are already informing yourself by voluntarily looking for information (from Jacque in this case), so you're on the right track :)
Back when i went to rehab for multiple addictions i was prescribed Depakote, Remeron and seroquel. For Bi-polar disorder, Manic-depression and anxiety. The pills merely masked the symptoms and never once did anything but help me sleep. After about 2 years of self-educating myself i changed dramatically. i am no longer Bi-polar or depressed. It seemed as if my method of thinking at the time was the factor that caused the supposed mental illnesses. Anxiety sadly remains with me today.
@ZagorTeNay80 The anxiety will never go away unless most people change. Its very hard to get along with most "normal" people. To pinpoint it precisely as i can i stay in concern of being unrecognized as it is already with family, friends and co-workers. My values do not in any way relate to most "normal" acquisitive people.
@ovylord It is "pats you on the back" because you don't put pads on the back, you put pads on the shoulder. "Pat on the back" is a very useful and long-existing english expression that essentially means to be praised or recognized.
I think this is great advice, but there are those of us that have screwy brain chemistry. It is hard to stay on track even when we're feeling good about ourselves. Lots of ups and downs.
@RyanStokes3 awesome, thanks very much for sharing this. you might want to watch a film i saw recently called "psychiatry-an industry of death", it might help reinforce your decision to avoid psych meds.
@thevenusprojectmedia Sounded interesting and looked it up...but it's made/supported by the church of scientology. Makes it a lot less credible in my opinion.
I haven't read your conversation but I'm assuming you mean what Jacque said? All I can say is (and I mean no offence) do your own thinking, its about YOUR opinion and how credible you think it is. Don't base your opinions on others opinons; only facts can get that kind of reasoning
If the church of scientology supported TVP would that make it less credible? They may be using the idea for their own purposes, but that doesn't make the idea any less viable; if anything it should be moreso
since the first time i saw Jacque Fresco in a Peter's Joseph documentary about religion and illuminatis i knew that Jacque is a genious and a wonderful person, i mean carring so much for humanity like this! i've questioned my self many times why is the world like this, as you get older you become more dissastified, and can onlu hope humanity will grow and become one with peace (peace doesn't seem to happen because since the begining of times mankind have been making war). Cheers to all of you :)
@spystyle No one is a genius. Jacque just fulfilled his potential in a manner that very few in this fucked up system can do it. It's not just about the attitude, cause there are many who share his attitude and ideas, but the courage to face things as they are and to step out of this shit. One of the most important things that restrains people for fully and individually develop themselves is fear of going against the flow. And, in my opinion this is the hardest thing to step over.
The things he is talking about in this video, makes more sense than all the stuff I've read and heard during all these years. I would have been thankful if I heard this knowledge from my therapist, and actually got some help for a change... Only during the end of the last year I realized some of these things myself, thought in a much smaller scale. It's really amazing how clearly he can see all things, it's really like he was some kind of an visionaire.
I just hope this genius and great human being continues to live among us for the years to come.He is one of the few people of this era that can help humanity work towards revolution like the world has never seen before.Sadly to say I have given up on humanity as a whole but there are some people,characters that are intelligent human beings...but it is hard.
Long Live Jacque Fresco.Bow to the ground.
BTW Isn't amazing how blind and asleep the world is?
Peter Joseph needs to watch this everyday to get understanding of this simple important message, It even took me several times of watching to get it. One of my favorite videos. The venus project is a humble simple and fun approach for obtaining sustainable life on this planet. This is the true meaning of food for thought. And thank you Roxanne for being the extension of this mans ideas.

i have depression for about year and insomnia,a lot of Jacque's videos makes sense but it's difficult get forward ...........THANK YOU JACQUE ,i will try
@sashaperezallen insomnia has a lot to do with physical attributes, i would say try eating foods with melatonin in it and staying away from sugar and i find that marijuana helps to
@sashaperezallen In a movie called, "Food Matters", they said niacin helps treat depression, anxiety and helps you sleep, but I don't know how true that is. You should look it up.
@thevenusprojectmedia I type really fast and can spell accurately. I could work for you guys for free if you want. Not sure how much, since it'd be for free, but I could definitely type up captions for you. I could do at least one video a week, possibly more. My payment can be going through and listening to all of his videos, because that's what I want to eventually do anyway! :)
@thevenusprojectmedia Can Jacque do a talk like this for procrastination, pretty please? I mean I want to work towards a better world and all (including spreading the word about TVP), but it's hard to do so when it's impossible to get anything done, you know..
@chinessgirl Are you unaware, that most of these videos have as little as 400 views. That fact that Jacque's latest entrys are already at 7k is shocking to me because that means more people are exposing themselves to Jacque and Roxxan's material which is the most positive thing we as humans can have right now.
@HealingSixes hmm, agenda 21 seems to be exactly like the venus project..actually agenda 21 is a more complete and concise version of venus project because it addresses all of the economic issues relating to a RBE that venus project doesnt..do u know of any contrasts between one and the other? i cant seem to find any
The distance between our expectations or assumptions about the way we think things "ought" to be and the way they are is what causes depression... true... and then our ability or inability to effect change compounds it. So alleviating depression requires a perceptual shift. Seeing things as how they could be, as opposed to how they "ought" to be. And then supporting those possibilities through choices that offer us a sense of power or "self." Thank you, Jacque. For all you do.
IMaybe it really is the will to find answers that can define us... When I can't complete my objective I feel depressed, If i do nothing about, or try to have fun to forget it, the origin of the depression might still be there when I come back, So I must study the issue and find the answer...there is no other way. Thanks Jacques.
There was a famous portuguese writer named Fernando Pessoa. He created lots of heteronyms. One of those heteronyms was called Alberto Caeiro. Basically, when he personified Alberto Caeiro, he imagined him self as a country man who had no clue about any existing problems, and therefore, he was happy and never depressed. I learned about him 10 years ago, But only after hearing Jacques in this video, I think I can understand how frustration works. By wanting to forget, Pessoa went the opposite way
If you have a tumor, and lived before healthy, and wish to stay healthy, because your wish has been defied you draw in the energy towards depression; for it guided you to a path you did not desire. And the more you know of the negative , the more depressed you become or can be.
If you expect life is sporadic, and experience cancer, you will have a higher chance to negate depression and other mental, and possibly physical, inefficiencies.
With Summer coming to an end for the Northern hemisphere, and in anticipation of the return of many of those who chose to take time off to spend on family vacations &/or with their kids home from school, we need to quickly clear out the current backlog of English transcriptions that need to be proofread before being opened up to all translation teams. If any of you have been thinking about getting involved with the LingTeam's English Department, there may not ever be a better time than now.
I would explain Jacque's lack of self-image as a lack of perception of our own self, the one providing our learning capacities, our "speaking-thinking being".
This self is also considered our spirit, and don't need identification in order to be. It identifies with everything, yet is free and independent of our earthly condition, but super-conscious.Losing sight of this being means losing sight of our free capabilities, our free attention and energies.
wow..I wish everyday who's suffering from depression get a chance to see this. and the cue is to 'give them something to do, to work towards a direction, and to learn new things'..I'll remember this.
I'm having trouble about "no self image"... what is that supposed to mean? The way I understand it, a person with no self-image - if that is even possible - could never be depressed. Such an emotional state would simply not apply, there would be no basis for a depression. Apart from that I would agree that depression seems to be strongly related to "self-image" or maybe being stuck in a concept of "self" too much.
@thevenusprojectmedia I'm not sure but I think he's not talking about low self image. A while ago i searched information about co-dependency, because that was the root of my mental problems, depression etc. There was an article where they told that a co-dependent person slowly looses owns self image. It's like you can't see the line between you and the others. That's painful. When i imagined that line i felt incredible ease. "No self image" means that you have not that healthy selfishness.
@blackpanther6389 I mean that to be healthy a person needs to think oneself. If your actions are leaded basically only by the actions of others, it's very unhealthy. That's what i meant.
@Herbarius I think he does mean no self image, like none at all--not positive or negative. If you don't hold such a strong view of yourself either way then it's less likely that you'll be hurt or disappointed in life. You won't have such a fear of losing your identity. It's like by having no strong sense of self image, you get rid of a lot of ego. Eckhart Tolle gets into this concept quite a bit, you may want to check out his stuff...I find it fascinating :)
@Herbarius I think "no self image" would be the case if you rely on another person entirely - if you put identification into the other person to a degree of maybe 60% or more (if you could quantify that kind of thing), so that when this person is gone, the remaining self image has insufficient integrity left to cling to.
@Herbarius "No self image" would mean the perception of lack of purpose of the self in a society. So someone that has unlinked the purpose of the self to the environment, has no way to going back to the self, ergo "no self image". One would only perceive the world but not the relevance of the self.
@Herbarius If you live viariously through another person and that person dies, you lose your identity. If identity is self-image, he meant no self image.
when my mental coach told me that depression is actualy the most important period in your live because you are reflecting on yourself during that period. i thought. this is so true but only when you know this there is a good way out. since that time i sayed this to a number of people. they all lifted themselfs out of it becomming a better person then before
This has really helped me in my life. I have the answer to depression!! I am no longer depressed because now!! I know how to fight it. Get this guy to answer more of life's questions, PLease.
thats why i think this system will only actually "get real" after years of teaching, first thing is to teach these type of values, free choices, free thinking, how to be an individual, only then you can take away "the order" otherwise in my opinion it will only be: so many free choices to take = indecision = frustation = depression
its good that venusproject is abording depression,is one my problems with this system,when money ends and people have a free choice to do whatever they want in a sociology point of view when theres no order depression can appear,so many people are hiding behind rules the good/bad thing to do, when you take that away people will lose identity they will not feel as a unit, i dont agree with dictatorship at all but i have to recognize that the values of depression are really low on those regimes.
Very vice man. Innocent and vice. That are the qualities we must develop in ourselves - being vice and innocent makes us mature. I send Jacque my love and respect. He is one of the seldom people in this world who are not thinking about themselvem egoistically but about the future of mother Earth.
Such a rare genius this man. The need to let go. Funny how you forget it, as the years go by. I've just watched this twice, because it's so rich in detail and truth.
Some of what he says seems to parallel the Buddhist conception of attachment. Amazing talk, his attitude is one we are going to need to be carried out if we are going to survive this century.
If someone reads up alot about the Venus Project and has their values modified, today these values are not reinforced in the culture, so could possibly lead to depression?
Is being sad, exhausted or anxiety being depressed? And then you have other forms like agoraphobia or PTSD..this is a sincere inquiry I mean no offense. i know there is really no answer but, would like to have some insight on such a prevalent topic. thank you. And... hello Roxanne!
I'm trying so hard to understand this..It leaves me with more questions then understanding. My first question would be what is self Identification? Is seems to me like the thing called individuality in which is a result of conditioning...which is better explained by watching Jacques question-participation. Second for me am I depressed if I know the necessity of togetherness (ubuntu) and have not yet produced results? Would Jacque be depressed if he didn't have the help or earnest listeners?
Quick question someone help me... My question with this type of economy... What about the gifts that we can't share like beauty isn't those men or women who posses this gift don't they have a monopoly that they will use to corrupt and those without beauty won't they be envious considering we all pretty much want the same things...because who is richer than a pretty woman she gets to do what she wants say what she want without concequence

@ovylord It is "pats you on the back" because you don't put pads on the back, you put pads on the shoulder. "Pat on the back" is a very useful and long-existing english expression that essentially means to be praised or recognized.

I was just diagnosed with depression.
I didn't accept their idea to put me on anti-depressants though, I knew there was another answer.
I knew that the answer lies on what causes that cycle to begin.

I haven't read your conversation but I'm assuming you mean what Jacque said? All I can say is (and I mean no offence) do your own thinking, its about YOUR opinion and how credible you think it is. Don't base your opinions on others opinons; only facts can get that kind of reasoning
If the church of scientology supported TVP would that make it less credible? They may be using the idea for their own purposes, but that doesn't make the idea any less viable; if anything it should be moreso

@spystyle No one is a genius. Jacque just fulfilled his potential in a manner that very few in this fucked up system can do it. It's not just about the attitude, cause there are many who share his attitude and ideas, but the courage to face things as they are and to step out of this shit. One of the most important things that restrains people for fully and individually develop themselves is fear of going against the flow. And, in my opinion this is the hardest thing to step over.

The things he is talking about in this video, makes more sense than all the stuff I've read and heard during all these years. I would have been thankful if I heard this knowledge from my therapist, and actually got some help for a change... Only during the end of the last year I realized some of these things myself, thought in a much smaller scale. It's really amazing how clearly he can see all things, it's really like he was some kind of an visionaire.

The distance between our expectations or assumptions about the way we think things "ought" to be and the way they are is what causes depression... true... and then our ability or inability to effect change compounds it. So alleviating depression requires a perceptual shift. Seeing things as how they could be, as opposed to how they "ought" to be. And then supporting those possibilities through choices that offer us a sense of power or "self." Thank you, Jacque. For all you do.

IMaybe it really is the will to find answers that can define us... When I can't complete my objective I feel depressed, If i do nothing about, or try to have fun to forget it, the origin of the depression might still be there when I come back, So I must study the issue and find the answer...there is no other way. Thanks Jacques.

There was a famous portuguese writer named Fernando Pessoa. He created lots of heteronyms. One of those heteronyms was called Alberto Caeiro. Basically, when he personified Alberto Caeiro, he imagined him self as a country man who had no clue about any existing problems, and therefore, he was happy and never depressed. I learned about him 10 years ago, But only after hearing Jacques in this video, I think I can understand how frustration works. By wanting to forget, Pessoa went the opposite way

I get what he is saying.
For example:
If you have a tumor, and lived before healthy, and wish to stay healthy, because your wish has been defied you draw in the energy towards depression; for it guided you to a path you did not desire. And the more you know of the negative , the more depressed you become or can be.
If you expect life is sporadic, and experience cancer, you will have a higher chance to negate depression and other mental, and possibly physical, inefficiencies.

I would explain Jacque's lack of self-image as a lack of perception of our own self, the one providing our learning capacities, our "speaking-thinking being".
This self is also considered our spirit, and don't need identification in order to be. It identifies with everything, yet is free and independent of our earthly condition, but super-conscious.Losing sight of this being means losing sight of our free capabilities, our free attention and energies.

I'm having trouble about "no self image"... what is that supposed to mean? The way I understand it, a person with no self-image - if that is even possible - could never be depressed. Such an emotional state would simply not apply, there would be no basis for a depression. Apart from that I would agree that depression seems to be strongly related to "self-image" or maybe being stuck in a concept of "self" too much.

@Herbarius i think what's meant there is "low" self image.
thevenusprojectmedia 5 months ago 16
@thevenusprojectmedia I'm not sure but I think he's not talking about low self image. A while ago i searched information about co-dependency, because that was the root of my mental problems, depression etc. There was an article where they told that a co-dependent person slowly looses owns self image. It's like you can't see the line between you and the others. That's painful. When i imagined that line i felt incredible ease. "No self image" means that you have not that healthy selfishness.

@thevenusprojectmedia I understood the difference, he said Low and No self image. The difference between the two are this.
No-Self Image (Mostly feeling confused) - "I don't know who I am anymore. I'm feeling lost. I'm feeling helpless."
Low-Self Image (More Defined Negative Self-Image) - "I'm ugly, I'm worthless, I'm a failure, I fuck everything up"
I think it's possible to have a mixture of the two as well. I think most people refer to the No-Self Image as an Identity Crisis or something.
shady2oo7 1 month ago
@Herbarius I think he does mean no self image, like none at all--not positive or negative. If you don't hold such a strong view of yourself either way then it's less likely that you'll be hurt or disappointed in life. You won't have such a fear of losing your identity. It's like by having no strong sense of self image, you get rid of a lot of ego. Eckhart Tolle gets into this concept quite a bit, you may want to check out his stuff...I find it fascinating :)
ComplexMissy 5 months ago
@Herbarius I think "no self image" would be the case if you rely on another person entirely - if you put identification into the other person to a degree of maybe 60% or more (if you could quantify that kind of thing), so that when this person is gone, the remaining self image has insufficient integrity left to cling to.
BarracudaBastard 5 months ago
@Herbarius "No self image" would mean the perception of lack of purpose of the self in a society. So someone that has unlinked the purpose of the self to the environment, has no way to going back to the self, ergo "no self image". One would only perceive the world but not the relevance of the self.

@Herbarius If you live viariously through another person and that person dies, you lose your identity. If identity is self-image, he meant no self image.

thats why i think this system will only actually "get real" after years of teaching, first thing is to teach these type of values, free choices, free thinking, how to be an individual, only then you can take away "the order" otherwise in my opinion it will only be: so many free choices to take = indecision = frustation = depression

its good that venusproject is abording depression,is one my problems with this system,when money ends and people have a free choice to do whatever they want in a sociology point of view when theres no order depression can appear,so many people are hiding behind rules the good/bad thing to do, when you take that away people will lose identity they will not feel as a unit, i dont agree with dictatorship at all but i have to recognize that the values of depression are really low on those regimes.
