im blown away. Jacque Fresco just predicted internet radio, flat screen tvs, and many other technologies we are creating in the 21st century and he was doing this almost 40 years ago. he is truly a genius.
AND SO WHAT? People know this genius ideas and do whit this something? Nothing was change from 1974. We are slave in work, our work s our life...Or other exaple: General Motors made lot of Electric car which was drive in USA. And what was next step? This big corporacy srapping all this cars...This is the reality...We have year 2011 and we are not prepared to lives in Jacque Fresco world!!!
GENIUS. But I have a question: Suppose there is no competition bc resources are free and infinitely abundant... will there be motivaiton to become our best? Humans are what we are bc we evolved through natural competition over limited resources. Competition over limited resources motivates us to be the best. Doctors are often motivated knowing their career offers huge competitive advantage over limited resources. If everyone had limitless free resources, why work so hard to become skilled?
(3) You simpy know what to do, you understand that every individuality here connects to each other and that by its progress you can make a quantum leap towards your own.... I know this sounds idealistic... But i tis only on you how deep down the rabbit hole you dare to go – there are no limitations, but yourself
(2) Simply said, you establish communication with yourself.
This is a predisposition to be able to communicate effectively with your environment as well. This encompasses all areas including the physical as well as the psychical areas. This act of communication means the ability to look into yourself on things how they realy are, how they work, so you can disassembly and reassembly everything. If you can do this you understand and you do not need another motivation than this.
@goldensleeves We evolved and are still evolving – and here is the difference btw. then and now.. If we can deal with our resources in such a positive way, that would be something. But real motivation is not determined by external values. In fact outside motivation does not work for anyone– nor in competitive means. Why? True motivation comes from understanding. If you will get to know your heart – yourself in deepest ways you might not imagine yet – you will know what you want and need.
@goldensleeves just like we condition kids in school to to be competative, we can condition kids to be respectful and have good morals and always strive for the best in themselves no matter the odds. A school system/educational system built on the knowledge of nutrition, psychology, morality as main points would do wonders for children. ther eare so many resources even today to help kids become their best but the old ways have to go.

This man is an emissary of hell, so he speaks their language. There is no hope, love or light, in his words, they are dead. He's got nothing to lose because he'll go back where he came from. He believes in culling people, like animals; he has no heart or soul. Follow and listen to him, if you wish; but if you ever realise, who he really is and what he's preaching. Will you be able to find your way back or will it be too late? Beware of being lost in the labyrinthe!
@Giveantake : Like I said, no kid. I am just being pragmatic for now. You sound more crazy and mad right now...just relax. Relaxation is very important before you go out and change the world...anger is no good. We are counting on you buddy :)
Wrong. No kid.......nothing of that sort's gonna happen in my life time or my children's. So i am less worried. Sci-fi: It seems so to me...I have a better story....Jacque Fresco successfully convince the world for Venus project, becomes dictator and starts ruling his sci-fi world. Hows that sound for a movie? :)
@MrTuber84 If it was possible in 1974 it's surely possible now. The reason they don't do it is because the leaders wont give up their wealth for the good of mankind. They want to live in luxury, not equally.
possible in 1974??? Those were ideas and concepts ....i agree those were way ahead of his time.
Pragmatically, i dont see the whole world agreeing and coming to built a new world like this....very nice ideas though. We can definitely try this model out if we find a new habitable planet.... :D
@MrTuber84 It is possible. I don't have time to explain everything. Why don't you watch his movies? They are very entertaining and educational Here are some links
if there is someone that can explain me if something is wrong with this, speak up! i don't see any reason why this isn't realized jet. don't think in a box. nothing is ultimative. this is the future.
This video has only 21713 views while Justin Bieber and Eminem have millions thats why since 1974 these things that this brilliant man is suggesting havent happened yet and I don't think they will but I do certainly hope so....
I really don't understand why we haven't automated food preparation yet, it always seemed like common sense, you do the absolutely fun part of inventing a dish, but the intense labor and clean up that goes into it is done by robots, why haven't we been doing this!?!?!?

pay very close attention! somewhere in this video he explains the bird kills being conducted by someone in the present time! eight : o three. and yes i have suggested this theory before i saw the video.
Fresco is a genius because he says things that just stun you with their insight and originality and compassion for humanity but is he also deluded in the way only geniuses can be?

@ziggizazoo Exactly Zigg. This guy was thinking flatscreens in the wall, with a downloading of information, in 1974. I have that now with my CPU. And we can all have this freely, and dump fake monetary limits and sanctions. We all live here. Let's just work together freely to live and let live. Machines can handle the drudge. We can be free to think, learn, explore, develop ourselves. This is a world ready for interplanetary awareness and ET interactions, a true galactic civilization.
"10 or 15 years from now, our society will go down in history as the lowest development of man" How fucking true is that... Look at western Europe compared to North America... We're pathetic.

I dont give a fuck about you, so telling me to shoot myself, means nothing.
I wash shit off my arse, that I cared about, more than I care about anything you have to say, or whether you live or die. So, seriously, jump under a truck, you little fuck !
@manchise quit feeding the systems that have created this mess....now follow the Zeitgeist movemen tw Peter Joesph / Jacques Fresco....With chapters all over the world...lead...and ,most importantly...change the way you converse with each other...alter the topic of conversations....quit playing their game.....good luck!
"One Sharp success in optoelectronics was the development in 1988 of the world's first 14-inch color TFT LCD. A mere 2.7 cm thick, it boasted a sharp, bright picture. This development showed that the long-awaited, wall-mount
man, what a prophet!!! whats funny, is how comparatively anachronistic larry's mode of thinking is.. 'no television sets, just a screen on the wall... how do you listen to the music without a tape?' hahah!!! you're a fucking genius fresco!!! somebody put this guy in office already!!!
Ugh in order for this to happen, you'd have to get like 20,000 people to all agree unanimously to give up their lives and time to build something like this far away from society. Actually, I don't think getting the people to agree would be hard, it's just the tax evasion that gets ya.
5:00 in, listen to what he's describing... MP3s, internet, flat screen TVs and monitors. Utterly amazing. 30 Years on and he's still trying to get people to LISTEN to what we need for the future survival, but nobody wants to hear a damn thing. They'd rather be a slave of debt, with all that could be, held back from them, due to lack of profit. So sad, what are YOU gonna do?
He was so on it and a head of his time. Just in time for us to make a change. We are a silly people. We will wait to long or for something bad to happen to us or the earth before we start doing what this man is suggestions. We need to start now!!
The best thing for people to do to help The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project is to just start telling people, friends, coworkers strangers etc. and have them watch all the information on line. That is the best thing to do RIGHT NOW!!!! Educate people! Telling no one is the WORST thing you can do.
He's basically predicting Youtube, Spotify and the internet itself.
Central computer system - the internet/servers
Flat image screen without a set - Todays televisions/computers.
Dial the music/programs you like - Spotify, youtube, torrents, netflix etc.
Kind of unsure about the ideas he poses here though, you will still need police to solve conflicts, laws, and some form of democracy to run it all. I admire his ideas, but I'm just not sure it would work out in real life.
No Thing...on this earth is earthquate proof. Depending on the power of the earthquake, any mountain, natural or man made, Will fall. Is this not the truth?
@sonnyandbilly no..its not the truth..it would be possible to develop earthquake proof structures by utilising skock resistant designs and specific materials
He bad technological taste in nuclear technology , I wonder why he didn't side with the pebble bed reactor people when they said although it was a little harder to build it's safety would be worth it.
i was just wondering how he would pay for these elaborate things and then larry king asked it! lol...but then fresco didnt answer it lol/....sigh.
competition bad...how do you get rid of it? marx said we should put people in camps or "schools" to breed out competition. but its part of human nature. what happens to the people who can not or will not govern their need for vices like competition?
Good question unbiased, but what I think Fresco was replying to this "How to pay" question is that the monetary system itself is corrupting and is actually not needed to create these elaborate systems. Empirically speaking, it is the material, technology, and energy that is needed to create these products. The monetary system was created by man to facilitate trade in civilization. But look at the Federal Reserve and International Banks systems with their fractional reserves today!
Well in the video he did say that the members would chip-in money each, I don't think would really do much though. Especially since this city has not been built after ~35 years. Under the current (self-centered) geo-political and monetary usury system, this would be really hard to accomplish, not impossible though.
Hopefully, humankind can by-pass these man-made systems to work on beneficial projects for us all. At least do away with the (non-)Federal Reserves!
Well, I would not hope for our systems to go back to the agrarian nor the barter&trade system necessarily, but look at what happen to Zimbabwe after their currency hyper-inflated! What makes you think that other countries are immune to that?
BTW, imperialist were against the idea of a republic instead of imperialistic governance when China was changing. They say it would never work. So why are you only thinking of ways within this system? Hence, I did not say it is not feasible.
@valentin6li "Hopefully, humankind can by-pass these man-made systems to work on beneficial projects for us all."
and why should he do that? why does he NOT is a good question too
personally i think this idea is a fantasy. nothing is free. what is the price of this city besides the monetary price?
i mean if it is feasible, HOW is it feasible to even START? you can tlak about how things are noww and etc, but thats how things ARE. so therefore HOW do you start this city?
@unbiased000 You finally had one comment with some substance in it ...
The idea that women are to be equal with men were also a "fantasy" at one point in time in history. Yet with industrial farming and factory (using fossil fuel instead of muscle) along with telephone. the women organized together and changed the public's view on their role in society.
It was also a fantasy to go to the moon or to fly in the sky ... good thing you aren't the Wright Brothers or Mr. Armstrong.
@valentin6li actually the womans lib movement is what made cultural changes (which is what yo uare tlakin about, not voting) and this was funded by the rockefeller foundation. according to one of their close friends, aaron russo, this was done to be able to indcotrinate the children (social engineering) and be able to tax the other half of the population withthe income tax
If the global currency hypothetically hyper-inflated, then a google amount of this monetary unit would not even be able to make this city. Because people have lost faith in it's value. BTW, more than 90% of global currency is electronic - virtual reality. Yet obedience to the monetary system is what keeps it alive, because it's backed-up by the sweat and blood of future labor and other institutions like the army
"An idea's whose time has come is more powerful than standing armies."
To be honest I do not think that The Zeitgeist Movement are not without its flaws but even more real than the electronic numbers in your bank account; is the fact that forest are shrinking, oil is peaking, fresh water is depleting, global warming is happening (go to UN or industrial reports) ... this CAN'T go on with a rising population. And our current system with its flaws sure isn't going to resolve these issues. I am talking about how things are now because we CAN change it!
@valentin6li ....As the population grows...all those things you mentioned above or below, will get worse. Free energy was found long ago by Tesler, it wasn't viable to governments thou, no money gain....oil is! You know this thou, don't you?
Let me rephrase it then "Hopefully humankind can by-pass these OLD systems to work on projects benefiting HIMSELF AND HIS FUTURE GENERATIONS". That is why he should do that. The actual cost of the city is the labour, design, organization, and material that needs to be put into it. If the people working into this have the same trust it would benefit him as he puts into his country's currency (since the machines actually DOES something) than it is not "free work", it pays back.
Finally, according to reports and scientific models, our earth is reaching multiple crises in the coming decades, which would be damaging to our species. I could sit here on YT and just criticize. Having a critical mind is good but I also prefer to keep doing more research, organize with people, and DO something. Because I think we HAVE TO. I think the Zeitgeist Movement touches on many things that people feel, know and see that needs to be changed and provides ideas that resound
@valentin6li global warming is debateble, and over population is sometihng people who are not scientists have to take on FAITH alone. they can only quote people.
i know that the computers they use to try and calculate scenarios of over population are like predicting the future...also they claim they got them from aliens...lol
yes i have a refrence for that.
also the zeitgeist movement contains a great deal of deception, why should i trust sometihng blindly they promote?
Curse YT and their character limits!! Just want to say I'm not here to "win" any debates. So I'm done posting ... it won't be a good use of my time in the long run ... this city might be made, it might not be made ... that was not the important thing for me. I was actually arguing the ideology that one needs a medium of exchange to get a sustainable project started. And believed that was what Fresco was pointing out and that you misinterpreted him.
@valentin6li no, i didnt make any interpreations of his ideology. im talkin about the real world. im asking HOW this is feasible. it appears that your inability to answer this uestion has frustrated you, well aas long as you dont misgude that frustrsation to me for asking then i dont have a problem with that. fact is i dont see how this is realisti to start at all. i cant even get a hypothetical answer or idea of how it could begin.
Mass populations, insect invasions, organic food resources, enclosed glass and plastic (Plexiglas) spaces, hydroponics, ultrasonic generators, cavitation and rupturing of unwanted pests -- brings to mind Starship Troopers; Bees and Colony Collapse Disorder.
Controlled construction of planetary ecological systems through underwater dams, water oxygenation processes, the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Gulf Stream are the engineering dynamics of the NOW--FUTURE.
For the wealthy clientele of Frank Lloyd Wright, the "Falling Water" and "Prairie" style designs, Jacque Fresco and massive human habitats -- housing for China and India in 1974...was "Far Out."
Fresco's designs are planetary in style and no doubt functional for highly concentrated populations. These habitat-creations are much like the comic-fantasy characterizations of Science Fiction and Forbidden Planet.
In 1968/69, I was overwhelmed by Clarke and Kubrick's visions of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
So when this starts. with the first city. you take all the lazy people trying to take advantage of this, and kick them out. It's not going to work if it just crumbles like Socialism.
flat screens? a flat image screen? dial in what you want? gee.. that's exact;y what i'm doing RIGHT NOW. Jacque Fresco = a mind not to be fucked with.
I was more critical than necessary of the the venus project until i saw this interview, actually. This is really visionary and this seems to be a consequential step. Honestly, i can respect the guy, good ideas and intelligent design i'm seeing here.
Politicians have shown the world their behavior, we still vote for them today...(well i haven't EVER!...and very proud of this too!) WE HAVE NEVER EVER NEEDED A GOVERNMENT...EVER!!!

I mean, they would see sharks, ripping whales to pieces, and squid eat fish alive, slowly and horrifically.

Central computer system - the internet/servers
Flat image screen without a set - Todays televisions/computers.
Dial the music/programs you like - Spotify, youtube, torrents, netflix etc.
Kind of unsure about the ideas he poses here though, you will still need police to solve conflicts, laws, and some form of democracy to run it all. I admire his ideas, but I'm just not sure it would work out in real life.

unbiased000 1 year ago
@unbiased000
Good question unbiased, but what I think Fresco was replying to this "How to pay" question is that the monetary system itself is corrupting and is actually not needed to create these elaborate systems. Empirically speaking, it is the material, technology, and energy that is needed to create these products. The monetary system was created by man to facilitate trade in civilization. But look at the Federal Reserve and International Banks systems with their fractional reserves today!

Well in the video he did say that the members would chip-in money each, I don't think would really do much though. Especially since this city has not been built after ~35 years. Under the current (self-centered) geo-political and monetary usury system, this would be really hard to accomplish, not impossible though.
Hopefully, humankind can by-pass these man-made systems to work on beneficial projects for us all. At least do away with the (non-)Federal Reserves!

BTW, imperialist were against the idea of a republic instead of imperialistic governance when China was changing. They say it would never work. So why are you only thinking of ways within this system? Hence, I did not say it is not feasible.

@valentin6li "Hopefully, humankind can by-pass these man-made systems to work on beneficial projects for us all."

personally i think this idea is a fantasy. nothing is free. what is the price of this city besides the monetary price?
i mean if it is feasible, HOW is it feasible to even START? you can tlak about how things are noww and etc, but thats how things ARE. so therefore HOW do you start this city?

@unbiased000 You finally had one comment with some substance in it ...
The idea that women are to be equal with men were also a "fantasy" at one point in time in history. Yet with industrial farming and factory (using fossil fuel instead of muscle) along with telephone. the women organized together and changed the public's view on their role in society.
It was also a fantasy to go to the moon or to fly in the sky ... good thing you aren't the Wright Brothers or Mr. Armstrong.

If the global currency hypothetically hyper-inflated, then a google amount of this monetary unit would not even be able to make this city. Because people have lost faith in it's value. BTW, more than 90% of global currency is electronic - virtual reality. Yet obedience to the monetary system is what keeps it alive, because it's backed-up by the sweat and blood of future labor and other institutions like the army

To be honest I do not think that The Zeitgeist Movement are not without its flaws but even more real than the electronic numbers in your bank account; is the fact that forest are shrinking, oil is peaking, fresh water is depleting, global warming is happening (go to UN or industrial reports) ... this CAN'T go on with a rising population. And our current system with its flaws sure isn't going to resolve these issues. I am talking about how things are now because we CAN change it!

Let me rephrase it then "Hopefully humankind can by-pass these OLD systems to work on projects benefiting HIMSELF AND HIS FUTURE GENERATIONS". That is why he should do that. The actual cost of the city is the labour, design, organization, and material that needs to be put into it. If the people working into this have the same trust it would benefit him as he puts into his country's currency (since the machines actually DOES something) than it is not "free work", it pays back.

Finally, according to reports and scientific models, our earth is reaching multiple crises in the coming decades, which would be damaging to our species. I could sit here on YT and just criticize. Having a critical mind is good but I also prefer to keep doing more research, organize with people, and DO something. Because I think we HAVE TO. I think the Zeitgeist Movement touches on many things that people feel, know and see that needs to be changed and provides ideas that resound

A 1974 "Future Studies" Prospectus:
Mass populations, insect invasions, organic food resources, enclosed glass and plastic (Plexiglas) spaces, hydroponics, ultrasonic generators, cavitation and rupturing of unwanted pests -- brings to mind Starship Troopers; Bees and Colony Collapse Disorder.
Controlled construction of planetary ecological systems through underwater dams, water oxygenation processes, the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Gulf Stream are the engineering dynamics of the NOW--FUTURE.

For the wealthy clientele of Frank Lloyd Wright, the "Falling Water" and "Prairie" style designs, Jacque Fresco and massive human habitats -- housing for China and India in 1974...was "Far Out."
Fresco's designs are planetary in style and no doubt functional for highly concentrated populations. These habitat-creations are much like the comic-fantasy characterizations of Science Fiction and Forbidden Planet.
In 1968/69, I was overwhelmed by Clarke and Kubrick's visions of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
