Resource based economy or not, one thing is ABSOLUTE, our current monetary economic system will not last, once the population increases and inflation spins out of control, the current system will collapse and the world will be in chaos. Resources and ideas are only as valuable as how useful they are, not some fabricated man made values that we give it.
ex: 1million dollars for a piece of paper painting, ABSURD and ILLOGICAL.
Because most humans want to be rich and powerful and the current system "PROMISE" to give them that, a "CHANCE" to horde wealth and power for oneself, even though in reality, only a small percentage of people can get rich and powerful.
This "PROMISE" and "CHANCE" given by our current political-economical-societal system is what's preventing humanity from adopting a better system.
Bottom line: NOBODY WANTS TO BE EQUAL, EVERYBODY WANTS TO HAVE MORE.
@fullfist and all you'll find is a trash heap of speculation, conspiracy theory, and fabrications by gossiping little girls. We accept valid criticism. But not slander.
37 years. For 37 years we've had the opportunity to do this. I'm speechless. The shit's getting deeper every single day... humanity's becoming more and more helpless. All while most root for the demise of their very own species... it's totally assfucked backwards. Jacque is 95 years old now and after he's gone I don't know what the hell we're gonna do. People might forget about TVP... if they do, I fear the worst. Just spread it as much as you can!
@weses1 Indeed. Fresco has certainly worked sincerely and passionately most of his life to reclaim our future. There are very few who so clearly recognize the peril of our times and take it as seriously as he does. We are left to hope that he has inspired others to do the same.
@andrewdeese i hear ya. im so tired of stupid people who always talk when they dont even know the subject matter. if thats what the monetary system has created then i dont wan tanything to do with it. i try and tell people but people just dont seem to care the position the world is in, truly sad.
@BarrioAztrologist89 If you wouldn't mind check out my video The human society Project. I am going to try to help this human race at all cost. Even if they grow to hate me. I will do what is right no matter what. They can throw me in jail but they will never take my dignity
I love this mans principles, and ideas, but unfortunately, it would never work, for the simple fact we are human, and humans will always disagree, no matter how they are brought up. I dont think that people are always nurtured to be violent, as ADHD is not a nurtured trait, its and natural trait. Look at it like this, if a boy is brought up in a religious church going family, raised with morals and manners, this boy could have no out side influence but become a criminal. The only answer I have
@FAB12UCB I assume this is a judgment of your first encounter. You might consider rethinking ow anyone can know the viability of a concept upon first encounter. Surely it is an exceptional ability, to bypass all the research, the details, and the careful reasoning, and just KNOW in four minutes. That would be an impressive ability. Please look into it more if you want to know more about that which is perhaps our only hope.
@jacquefresco I sir, have watched 2 hours of your videos, and I agree with nearly every concept you have. You are a truly inspirational man. I wish this to work, I believe all man united would be for the better of the world. I have seen your videos for ocean citys, and I would like to someday join in with The Venus Project. The world will be a much worse place without you.
@FAB12UCB A person's environment is much more complex than just their family relationships. There's the all of the media, tv, billboards, friends, education, institutions, etc. It would be impossible to list every single thing that impacts a person's behavior, because literally everything does. Even the food you eat has been shown in studies to affect a person's mood and thus behavior.
There is a lot of research to back up the reality that environment is what shapes behavior.
@FAB12UCB As a product of society today, if we changed into somewhat he speak of. Maybe hard yea, but it isnt biological. Humanity has changed in many ways already we would consider impossible cause of human nature. Its a part of evolution, we should always strive to be as intelligent and evolved as we can be. It isnt fake, its evolution. What you say is the same as giving up on humanity, this is what most ppl think, and is why we actually started devolving 50 years ago
@FAB12UCB The Profesors that feature on the new Zeitgeist movie seem to think so, they also explain how a 'genetic link' to something does not guarantee a genetic cause to something. So you may have a gene that is linked to ADHD, but if you have 100 people with ADHD and only a few have the gene, then take 100 people with the gene and only a few have ADHD, the gene means nothing to who actually has ADHD, the reason they link it to genes is so you can buy the cure.Its all lies.
We don't know it yet, but this is the most significant interview of the millennia. Fresco has the solution to resolve all social iniquity and injustice known to mankind. He has dedicated his life to the subject at hand and accumulated the knowledge and know-how over decades of research and intellectual insight. Fresco's bold proposals and practical solutions are pure genius; greater than anything previously conceived by a human being. This is the future of mankind. Jacque Fresco, I salute you!
@CaptainCrunchOwns Gene Ray, time cube? I can't take you seriously because of that comparison. I'm pretty sure you're just intent on getting people riled up. Gene Ray is a person who discovered that a circle can have a square drawn inside. Fresco has a pragmatic approach to critical thinking. Wanting to save the world is hard, and it shows in the mistakes he makes. He may be a dreamer but he has a valid philosophy and a respectable outlook. More importantly he's not demented like Ray.
@badblueman The time cube comparison was definitely hyperbole, but yes, I think he's a bit crazy. Not completely insane, just a few loose screws. He rambles, make massive generalizations without taking even a second to substantiate them (e.g., "competition is dangerous"), and speaks with that unwavering conviction that borders on lunacy. There's nothing wrong with conviction, especially when the subject matter is important; but his zealotry reminds me of a cultist.
@CaptainCrunchOwns He has personality traits you call crazy, but he's still intelligent. He has a 1000 premade examples because he's had XY years to make them but nobody to listen. He appears like a zealot because he wants to fill every second with his manifesto on TV, not because he's crazy and decided to "massively generalize"; time is limited and he wants to be heard. Competition is dangerous. You see it as Apple vs Sony. Jacque sees it as Amazon natives getting butchered for wood & oil.
@badblueman I don't doubt that he is remarkably intelligent. I just vehemently disagree with so much that he says. For instance, am I hearing him right that he envisions a stateless society? Sorry, that will just never happen, and trying to inspire such a model now is dangerous. We need authority because men cannot be trusted to treat one another decently without such a centralized authority. I could go on. I guess we'll just have to respectfully disagree.
@CaptainCrunchOwns There are reasons why people don't trust each other right now. Fresco addresses these reasons in his work. Do you understand those reasons?
@jacquefresco You're right, I haven't fully investigated his work. But just the way you could infer that I haven't studied all of his work from my single post, I can likewise infer from this video that his foundational presuppositions are flawed. I do plan to look into his material more thoroughly though.
@CaptainCrunchOwns You have to understand that Fresco employs such rhetorical devices such as generalization and exaggeration only to get his point across. Ultimately he knows better than to exaggerate and generalize, but at times it is necessary to make a point or move the center of a person's beliefs. Everything you see is rhetoric. And he uses it because it works.
People are taken in by his sincerity and conviction in speaking. Yet... do people not realize how unworkable some of his themes are? No control whatsoever, while in the same breath he acknowledges that people are corrupt? Does he not realize that government is a tool to reign in the corruption of man? Education does not solve the inherent corruption of man, Jacque. Sorry to tell you.
@CaptainCrunchOwns You might reconsider your own assumptions, for example "the inherent corruption of man." Do you mean inherent corruption as seen in the ideas of original sin? or fall from grace? After investigating a bit more into behavioral science, you may shift your views. Nothing is inherent in humans. Not even the will to survive is inherent. I can infer from the assumptions present in your comments that you have not investigated further into Fresco's work. Please do so.
@jacquefresco I agree that our environment substantially molds our behavior. Also, addressing your comment that not even the will to live is inherent... yes, without certain external stimuli, the infant brain cannot develop certain capacities (I suppose even the will to live?). But given a "normal" upbringing, virtually every "sane" human being will have an inherent propensity to act selfishly. The best treatise on behavioral science will not dissuade from a lifetime of observation.
@CaptainCrunchOwns Certainly any human that develops within a certain range of common and most probable circumstances, which we call normal, will exhibit selfishness, or rather, self-preservation. In an environment of scarcity, this self-preservation inevitably competes with the self-preservation of others. This is why people don't and can't trust each other in the world today.
@CaptainCrunchOwns However, when abundance is provided to the needs of people, the danger of competition between one another's self-preservation diminishes. So the issue becomes designing an infrastructure that utilizes technology to provide for everyone's needs. We can do that today. Unfortunately, the patterns of ownership and market practices keep resources artificially scarce. The truth is, we have the technology to provide abundance for everyone's needs. This is unprecedented in history.
@CaptainCrunchOwns Ultimately, if such an infrastructure could be erected, what we will see a society of functional selfishness. The selfishness of one person becomes beneficial for the majority of people outside of that one person. This is due to the configuration or arrangement of functionally essential parts in that society. At this point, I imagine my description is getting a bit abstruse, so I'll stop here.
@CaptainCrunchOwns I'll finish by saying that this scenario can only be achieved with a technological infrastructure that will most probably need to be planned and designed by someone with a technicians background, as Fresco has spent the majority of his life being and doing. The world and human life has been the same for thousands of years - the same scarcity, the same self-preservation, the same fear, the same horrors.
@CaptainCrunchOwns With a properly designed technological infrastructure that provides abundance to the needs of people, human life no longer works along the same patterns. Again, this is a technicians job to design, not a political scientist's, or a philosopher's, a sociologist's, and definitely not a politician's. Just understand that a city is a mechanism. It can operate cleanly, efficiently, and optimally, or it can operate contrarily. It depends on design.
@jacquefresco I would certainly be interested in seeing what Jacque's ideal design looks like. I certainly agree that survival instinct contributes to the selfish behavior of humans, but if the desperate fight for survival were the sole cause for antisocial behavior, then the rich (i.e., those most well-provided for) would be the most benevolent. Yet there are numerous examples of the insatiably greedy. How about Bernie Madoff?
Am I debating with Jacque himself? Or just a pupil of his?
@CaptainCrunchOwns A pupil. The wealth of the rich are often ensnared in a web of obligations and investments that keeps them vulnerable to losing it all. While for most people, actual scarcity keeps them greedy and insecure, In the case of the rich, the FEAR of scarcity keeps them greedy and insecure. Think about it. They are bubbles of wealth immersed in a world of scarcity and in danger of being ruptured at anytime by exterior forces.
Continued Translation: "YOUR WHOLE BANKING SYSTEM IS UTTERLY CORRUPT. YOUR LENDING INSTITUTIONS HAVE LOUSED UP THE SYSTEM BUT THERES NOBODY OUT THERE TELLING YOU WHATS WRONG WITH IT, SO IT LOOKS OKAY TO YOU. I'm not afraid of anybody. I don't work for anyone. No one can discharge me. I have no boss. The only thing that can happen to me is that i can be put in prison. Well, there are many books to write. In other words, there are many things to be done."
Continued Translation: .." If an island like Haiti had about several hundred million dollars in assets but they went on and printed more money then they had things to back it up and no gold, then that money has no value. If a little island like St. croy printed lots of money and just came to the U.S. to try to buy things and they ran their printing presses night and day, the money is not backed. Thats why it doesnt have anything. "
Loose Translation: "I can't use the type of language i'd like to use on t.v. but i'd like to talk to them. I'd like to blow it up for you to understand it. Like the money system now, the whole idea of devaluation...Nobody know what it's all about, they all think its very complicated..actually its truly very simple..i'll tell you what it is if i have the time in a nutshell..whats going on!..
@weses1 I'd not even heard of this man until recently, yet he's been around speaking nothing but good sense for so many years. He just hasn't been listened to by enough people. This is not his failure, because he's a truly talented communicator who's done his level best to get this message out. Good ideas need to "go viral", and stop having their asses kicked by shitty ideas.
Competition is healthy, it will breed out the weaker in society. Not all man are created equal, deal with it, you will have to work for what you want!
people, usually from US sad to say, when they see this video think ohh this is communim, i was born in a communist country, a totalitarian regime, this isn't it.30 min of internet research will show why p.s. it;s bad trust me; i've seen capitalism replace what once was, it worked for a while then the global recession came:)now my country is indebted to the WMF for generations to come, i need to work for a US corp. for about 5x less then in the west,1 thing i can say : this shit has got to go
This video was added to YouTube in 2006 and has had under 300,000 views. Nyan Cat [original] was added SIX MONTHS AGO, April 5th, 2011 and today has had 41,541,858 views and counting
"Harness volcano power, energy experts say" a headline in The Telegraph, 2008. If Fresco came up with that idea in the early 70's, I wonder what these "experts" have been up to all these years?
And years later, the Venus Project is still on the drawing board. In order for his plan to come to fruition, the rich and powerful first have to be convinced to give up everything they have. Lotsa luck, Jacque!
Also, all forms of government have a ruling class. Who would the ruling class be under the Venus Project? If everyone was equal, how could anyone be convinced to work and run the machines if one could stay at home and receive everything for free anyway?
people will be more than convinced to work because if everybody just stays at home expecting to receive everything for free, nobody will get anything.
@ChipArgyle They would work and run the machines because they wanted to, durrr. If I was given everything in the world for free, I wouldn't mind giving back to the society that has given me so much. You don't even have to work 5 days a week, even 1 day, and rotate your duties with others over a week.
@IAM18YEARSOLDANDOVER Sure, sure. Few people want to work. People work because they have to work. Given a choice between work and play why would anyone choose work?
So, Mr. Durrr, why is the project is still on the drawing board after four decades?
@ChipArgyle Few people want to work in mundane, boring, repetitive jobs. People love working in creative jobs. What do you think people are doing when they are painting in their backyard or volunteering at the local charity? The project is still on the drawing board because we have a lot of greedy, rich cock suckers who don't want to give away their power.
@IAM18YEARSOLDANDOVER Look around. There are very few creative jobs left in the world. Most are burdened with processes, procedures, policy, law, and efficiency measures. Few, if any of the jobs in the Venus Project would be creative.
The Project will never leave the drawing board because it is nothing more than re-branded communism in green clothing. Communism is inherently dishonest because it fails to acknowledge that its leaders have all the power and all the wealth of a nation.
@ChipArgyle The leadership of this system would be science, designed to make the globes resources support our human needs in a sustainable way. That is the core difference. Communist political leaders, like those in a capitalistic society, don't know anything about the areas of which they make their decisions, because they are not scientists within that area. Venus project is not a political system but a scientific system.
@degner89 Your comment is utterly silly. Science is a concept, a system of learning and discovery, not an animate being capable of leading.
People are leaders. Leaders emerge in every group of people that has ever existed. It's how we are. Leaders always live privileged lives as a result of their status. People lived this way long before commerce and money was conceived.
Are you suggesting scientists, those with little people skills, will lead the pack? Good luck.
@ChipArgyle You clearly don't understand the concept of a science driven society. Science is used when we need to determine how many people we can support, and how we do that most efficiently and sustainable. In other words; the leaders have no opinions. Leaders in this society will have no greater status or living standards because the very foundation of this society is that all have the same rights to the earths resources. Is that really too abstract for you to comprehend?
@degner89 It's a nice idea. Makes me feel kinda warm and fuzzy all over. And it's science fiction. Not hard to understand at all. The leaders you describe will never rise because there's nothing for them to aspire to.
@ChipArgyle No aspirations? what about world peace, fighting hunger and living in harmony with the earth that we depend on, just to mention a few. You see people as mainly being selfish and greedy, and if they can't gain anything for themselves, they will not do anything. That is true in society today. But it is a value system created by the current social structure!
If your survival and well-being depends on the global community, you will start to outgrow and change many of the those values.
@degner89 What chip is talking about is money & personal advantage. Global leaders only do things if it helps their reputation or their finances. Politicians dont do good deeds unless they receive recognition for it. Problem is monetary system we live in rewards who are selfish & smart. Jacque Fresco's system rewards those who are only smart. Shameful because money is so important today, those with money will not care about changing things, & they're the only ones capable of changing the world.
@Sun6Tzu Well if you want to change the system into what Jacque is talking about, money plays no role. How does Jacque's system only reward those who are smart? The way i see it is that those who are smart, develop technology and goods that benefits all humans! Today some of the smartest minds in the world build weapons and other utterly useless technology and goods that are restricted through patents and copyrights.
@degner89 As of right now in society, the system still money based. Those with power are those with money. If any of the new technology that is to help this planet to be created, it has to come from the rich. However, if we were to change the entire system drastically and remove money from the equation. It would have to come from a authority that supersedes all. We don't have those centers that fulfill everyone's needs that he talks about right now. And people with money aren't building them.
@ChipArgyle Well your statement that TVP is still on the drawing board is just dumb. Pick up a history book and read about revolutions (not just the violent ones).
'All form of government have a ruling class'. You conclude this because that's what all past and current social structures have. TVP is a NEW theory of how to arrange society. Free your mind from these restrictions, or we cannot progress. I think all people are willing to work if they see that their job actually matters for society!
@degner89 Sounds great. Let's see it work on a small scale. Make it happen in a small village or a city willing to undertake the change on an experimental basis. Once you have an undeniable success on a small scale, then you can really go for it. I'll be awaiting the good news with bated breath.
@ChipArgyle That is exactly what is needed. We need to test these ideas, with an open mind. Not debunking it because in conflicts with your value system. We should give Jacque the ressources and land needed in order to properly test his ideas.
Jacque, you gave me answers for so many of my questions...questions I've been asking my entire life. I would like to move to "the new Resources based economy city" immediately....LET'S DO IT!
Please fix things with Zeitgeist. It will be lost and so will the people that believe in what you're both saying. Stop asking for film money. Peter Joseph was your "film" idea. Do us all that favour because if you can't work things out as two groups (that want the same thing), how are we supposed to believe in a group that doesn't do what it claims. You are two men that tell us to unify yet neither of you can do it. FIX IT FOR US, NOT FOR YOUR "NAMES". It doesn't matter what you're called.

Talk about commitment to your cause! 37 years later and he's still as passionate and active in his ideologies as he was then. Thank you Jacque, for everything you are doing. A new way will come about soon. It will be forced on us if we are too stupid to heed the warnings.

@FC98 His theory is slightly flawed in some ways, which is the first reason why it was not immediately adopted. Secondly, most of the World's power i.e. money lies in few people that prefer to stay privileged.
@becool365 What exactly are you saying is flawed? I still see no problems at all with his approach
Like just imagine if your family gets in a car accident, when we have for the past, 60 years have been able to have cars drive themselves, Air Planes today Land by themselves, most our problems could be solved, if we stopped those who have say 90% of all the wealth, very easily, by doing a little research and putting our foot down, and demanding we unify and start the problem solving
@itsadeadmansparty Simply, because you cannot eradicate competition. It is a hardwired instinct for all living things.
I also doubt the "very easily" part. You have not seen the darker side of this world. If you have enough money it doesn't matter of who writes the law and what it is. And if it was easy we would have already done it.
@becool365 Human can behave in very complex way e.g. corruption, greed, fear and etc., but which behavior pattern will dominate is determine by environment. Greed more precise accumulation of goods is forced by scarce environment, because such behavior increase chances of survival. Environment force behavior, human choose nothing (no free will). He and individuality is only reflection interaction with individual ENVIRONMENT.

Come together for the common good = live your life for someone else,what a betrayal of human dignity and a wast of your life.Top down authoritarian rule accepted by a mindless society never succeeds because thank god some people just want to do things there own damn way.
A classless, moneyless,STATELESS communities of humanity sharing the EARTH in cooperation for our common needs and well being .

I wish they had listened to him, so now I could be living in that world and not in this market-hell-fake world where human values are no longer relevant, honesty is not respected anymore. All that matters is the damn money...and It has gone so far that now people don't even know why they're living. They just know they need to eat and pay their bills.
@TheNonAntiAnarchist Actually, current economics doesn't understand scarcity. Currently, we have an unregulated supply of products, and duplicate products all around us (20+ brands of dishwasher soap). The same basic product labelled differently, made by another company is a waste of earth's resources. Market economics also doesn't seem to realize that it itself is unsustainable. The earth has finite resources, however profit is based on the amount of resources continually purchased.
@Youanden "The same basic product labelled differently, made by another company is a waste of earth's resources"
Well, there's your big old assertion of your preferences in place of the *subjective* preferences of market actors. I'm not going to be able to fit it in a youtube comment, but your idea of what profit and scarcity are in the first place is completely off the mark. "Profit and Loss" by Ludwig von Mises.. Short essay that addresses these topics really well...
How can it be that I am over 40 yrs old and never heard of this "wormhole" into the future, ... He's truly Genius> LOVE THE MAGMA/LAVA concept.... We can dip Al Gore into the lava first just to test the temperature........
Got to admire this kind of visionary in the 70's. I hope ppl would listen to guys like him and wouldnt drag them in to this mess that our economic systems is. People dont listen to wisdom but power.. its a shame.
This is the most brilliant man on the planet! I think many of you would agree with me when I say that it would be interesting if you did a "venus experiments" anywhere on earth. I do not understand how you can add billions of billions of dollars experimenting with bombs, etc.? Are all the positions of power only interested in money? Thumbs up if you want to see "Venus experiments" come to life!
Sounds better than this screwed up system we´re all in, but with our minds brainwashed and used to impose and being imposed it´s gonna be dificult if not imposible, we need to educate ourselves first for not to be inquisitors animals
marxist cheap scifi illustrator on a powertrip. we already had a few social experiments from hands of such social engineers here in eastern europe mr fresco, thank you. Such as the soviet agricultural mechanization, in order to make work softer on people, which ended in famine. Or "fair" communes without biggotry or hatred, where money notes werent used, which ended with people eating bark off the treas. Stick to drawing only, thank you.
The analysis ('diagnosis') done in the ZEITGEIST movement, by Peter Joseph and friends, is accurate and well-presented.
The 'prescription' of how this is to be changed as suggested in the VENUS PROJECT, by Jaque Fresco and others, is far too 'technocratic' ---- and needs major revisions and additions to become more 'humanised'.
Basically everything that a marxism society has would be eliminated in this resource based economy. It sounds like you really dont understand this , if you just call This resource based economy as another marxism society.
@jannnne123 Resource-based economy is a redundancy. All economies are resource based. I've watched all the videos, read the FAQ, even listen to P. Joseph defend the project and it's marxism with robots. The movement does a very good job in confirming intuitions and then in that confirmation, indoctrinate people to believe in Marxism by calling it a resource-based economy.
You can just see the angryness in his eyes , and i totally understand that . Im fucking pissed off too now that nothing has happended , we havent changed. We still keep fighting against "terrorists" yeah , i wonder who the REAL terrorists are -.- ,the ammount of homeless keeps rising , stravness orccurs even more , the whole system is basically gets worse as time goes on .. People seriously now need to step off the ongoing train and think for them self "what the fuck am i doing ?".
It makes me so mad when im watching this....that jaque fresco was trying back in 1974 to wake people up , and here we are 37 years later and nothing has changed....now thats just insanity.
People need to stop bringing Christ in to this. Its the paralyzing ideals of Christianity that say it is human nature to be "evil" and that people are "born with sin". THAT IS AN OUTMODED IDEOLOGY AND A PRIMITIVE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR. People are conditioned to be "evil" and our society and culture must evolve in order for there to be change. Nature should be our teacher. Christ is not coming. We need to step up and take a better look at the world. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE.
no it certainly didn't happen. First of all the rapture isn't even in the bible. It's an idea that Catholics came up with and many people wrote about in fictitious books. Secondly, the Sabbath is on Saturday--the 7th day of the week. The Lord rests on the 7th day of the week (throughout the bible) and the date your referring to was a Saturday. The man who proclaimed it (Harold Camping) has little knowledge of the bible. He could be a false prophet which the bible does mention.
@freegamecollection if the bible is truly the word god would it not be clear and not open to interputation? would a supreme being not be able or willing to fully communicate clearly with humans, this does not make sense. the magic space daddy is there to make obey and work. if you obey your masters and suffer in life, you will be rewarded when you kick the bucket. yeah im not a mind slave. if god was real he would have been looking out for us.
I honestly don't think much is open to interpretation besides maybe some of the book of revelation. The problem with Harold Camping's theory is that it wasn't biblical at all and people that don't know much about the bible assume that many religious people expected him to be right..I expected him to be wrong just like you--If you read the bible you will see that the things it says will happen are happening now from crazy storms, people leaving the church, false prophets, ect.
@freegamecollection storms earthquakes false prophets have existed since the dawn of man nothing new or different if a fiery dragon was in the bible and i saw that walking around i would be inclinded to believe the bible, storms and earthquakes are caused by nature and have proper scientific explanations.
to add onto that..I don't think he will be coming back too soon because more things that revelation predicted to happen still need to occur. I think it won't happen in my lifetime honestly, but it wont stop me from believing. Another major problem is the way Christianity is taught in the U.S. bc Americans have interpreted it the wrong way for many years now and have gotten into this cycle of "just ask for forgiveness" without ever actually reading what the bible says
This is a GREAT man and we need 1 billion of people like him in this world today..

@CaptainCrunchOwns Gene Ray, time cube? I can't take you seriously because of that comparison. I'm pretty sure you're just intent on getting people riled up. Gene Ray is a person who discovered that a circle can have a square drawn inside. Fresco has a pragmatic approach to critical thinking. Wanting to save the world is hard, and it shows in the mistakes he makes. He may be a dreamer but he has a valid philosophy and a respectable outlook. More importantly he's not demented like Ray.
badblueman 2 months ago
@badblueman The time cube comparison was definitely hyperbole, but yes, I think he's a bit crazy. Not completely insane, just a few loose screws. He rambles, make massive generalizations without taking even a second to substantiate them (e.g., "competition is dangerous"), and speaks with that unwavering conviction that borders on lunacy. There's nothing wrong with conviction, especially when the subject matter is important; but his zealotry reminds me of a cultist.
CaptainCrunchOwns 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns He has personality traits you call crazy, but he's still intelligent. He has a 1000 premade examples because he's had XY years to make them but nobody to listen. He appears like a zealot because he wants to fill every second with his manifesto on TV, not because he's crazy and decided to "massively generalize"; time is limited and he wants to be heard. Competition is dangerous. You see it as Apple vs Sony. Jacque sees it as Amazon natives getting butchered for wood & oil.

@badblueman I don't doubt that he is remarkably intelligent. I just vehemently disagree with so much that he says. For instance, am I hearing him right that he envisions a stateless society? Sorry, that will just never happen, and trying to inspire such a model now is dangerous. We need authority because men cannot be trusted to treat one another decently without such a centralized authority. I could go on. I guess we'll just have to respectfully disagree.

But just the way you could infer that I haven't studied all of his work from my single post, I can likewise infer from this video that his foundational presuppositions are flawed. I do plan to look into his material more thoroughly though.
CaptainCrunchOwns 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns You have to understand that Fresco employs such rhetorical devices such as generalization and exaggeration only to get his point across. Ultimately he knows better than to exaggerate and generalize, but at times it is necessary to make a point or move the center of a person's beliefs. Everything you see is rhetoric. And he uses it because it works.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
People are taken in by his sincerity and conviction in speaking. Yet... do people not realize how unworkable some of his themes are? No control whatsoever, while in the same breath he acknowledges that people are corrupt? Does he not realize that government is a tool to reign in the corruption of man? Education does not solve the inherent corruption of man, Jacque. Sorry to tell you.
CaptainCrunchOwns 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns You might reconsider your own assumptions, for example "the inherent corruption of man." Do you mean inherent corruption as seen in the ideas of original sin? or fall from grace? After investigating a bit more into behavioral science, you may shift your views. Nothing is inherent in humans. Not even the will to survive is inherent. I can infer from the assumptions present in your comments that you have not investigated further into Fresco's work. Please do so.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@jacquefresco I agree that our environment substantially molds our behavior. Also, addressing your comment that not even the will to live is inherent... yes, without certain external stimuli, the infant brain cannot develop certain capacities (I suppose even the will to live?). But given a "normal" upbringing, virtually every "sane" human being will have an inherent propensity to act selfishly. The best treatise on behavioral science will not dissuade from a lifetime of observation.
CaptainCrunchOwns 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns Certainly any human that develops within a certain range of common and most probable circumstances, which we call normal, will exhibit selfishness, or rather, self-preservation. In an environment of scarcity, this self-preservation inevitably competes with the self-preservation of others. This is why people don't and can't trust each other in the world today.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns However, when abundance is provided to the needs of people, the danger of competition between one another's self-preservation diminishes. So the issue becomes designing an infrastructure that utilizes technology to provide for everyone's needs. We can do that today. Unfortunately, the patterns of ownership and market practices keep resources artificially scarce. The truth is, we have the technology to provide abundance for everyone's needs. This is unprecedented in history.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns Ultimately, if such an infrastructure could be erected, what we will see a society of functional selfishness. The selfishness of one person becomes beneficial for the majority of people outside of that one person. This is due to the configuration or arrangement of functionally essential parts in that society. At this point, I imagine my description is getting a bit abstruse, so I'll stop here.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns I'll finish by saying that this scenario can only be achieved with a technological infrastructure that will most probably need to be planned and designed by someone with a technicians background, as Fresco has spent the majority of his life being and doing. The world and human life has been the same for thousands of years - the same scarcity, the same self-preservation, the same fear, the same horrors.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns With a properly designed technological infrastructure that provides abundance to the needs of people, human life no longer works along the same patterns. Again, this is a technicians job to design, not a political scientist's, or a philosopher's, a sociologist's, and definitely not a politician's. Just understand that a city is a mechanism. It can operate cleanly, efficiently, and optimally, or it can operate contrarily. It depends on design.
jacquefresco 2 months ago
@jacquefresco I would certainly be interested in seeing what Jacque's ideal design looks like. I certainly agree that survival instinct contributes to the selfish behavior of humans, but if the desperate fight for survival were the sole cause for antisocial behavior, then the rich (i.e., those most well-provided for) would be the most benevolent. Yet there are numerous examples of the insatiably greedy. How about Bernie Madoff?
Am I debating with Jacque himself? Or just a pupil of his?
CaptainCrunchOwns 2 months ago
@CaptainCrunchOwns A pupil. The wealth of the rich are often ensnared in a web of obligations and investments that keeps them vulnerable to losing it all. While for most people, actual scarcity keeps them greedy and insecure, In the case of the rich, the FEAR of scarcity keeps them greedy and insecure. Think about it. They are bubbles of wealth immersed in a world of scarcity and in danger of being ruptured at anytime by exterior forces.

All that matters is the damn money...and It has gone so far that now people don't even know why they're living. They just know they need to eat and pay their bills.

@TheNonAntiAnarchist Actually, current economics doesn't understand scarcity. Currently, we have an unregulated supply of products, and duplicate products all around us (20+ brands of dishwasher soap). The same basic product labelled differently, made by another company is a waste of earth's resources. Market economics also doesn't seem to realize that it itself is unsustainable. The earth has finite resources, however profit is based on the amount of resources continually purchased.

@Youanden "The same basic product labelled differently, made by another company is a waste of earth's resources"
Well, there's your big old assertion of your preferences in place of the *subjective* preferences of market actors. I'm not going to be able to fit it in a youtube comment, but your idea of what profit and scarcity are in the first place is completely off the mark. "Profit and Loss" by Ludwig von Mises.. Short essay that addresses these topics really well...

This is the most brilliant man on the planet! I think many of you would agree with me when I say that it would be interesting if you did a "venus experiments" anywhere on earth. I do not understand how you can add billions of billions of dollars experimenting with bombs, etc.? Are all the positions of power only interested in money? Thumbs up if you want to see "Venus experiments" come to life!

marxist cheap scifi illustrator on a powertrip. we already had a few social experiments from hands of such social engineers here in eastern europe mr fresco, thank you. Such as the soviet agricultural mechanization, in order to make work softer on people, which ended in famine. Or "fair" communes without biggotry or hatred, where money notes werent used, which ended with people eating bark off the treas. Stick to drawing only, thank you.

The analysis ('diagnosis') done in the ZEITGEIST movement, by Peter Joseph and friends, is accurate and well-presented.
The 'prescription' of how this is to be changed as suggested in the VENUS PROJECT, by Jaque Fresco and others, is far too 'technocratic' ---- and needs major revisions and additions to become more 'humanised'.
That's very obvious to anyone seeing this !!

Basically everything that a marxism society has would be eliminated in this resource based economy. It sounds like you really dont understand this , if you just call This resource based economy as another marxism society.
jannnne123 8 months ago
@jannnne123 Resource-based economy is a redundancy. All economies are resource based. I've watched all the videos, read the FAQ, even listen to P. Joseph defend the project and it's marxism with robots. The movement does a very good job in confirming intuitions and then in that confirmation, indoctrinate people to believe in Marxism by calling it a resource-based economy.

People need to stop bringing Christ in to this. Its the paralyzing ideals of Christianity that say it is human nature to be "evil" and that people are "born with sin". THAT IS AN OUTMODED IDEOLOGY AND A PRIMITIVE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR. People are conditioned to be "evil" and our society and culture must evolve in order for there to be change. Nature should be our teacher. Christ is not coming. We need to step up and take a better look at the world. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE.

stalkingcat123 7 months ago
@stalkingcat123
no it certainly didn't happen. First of all the rapture isn't even in the bible. It's an idea that Catholics came up with and many people wrote about in fictitious books. Secondly, the Sabbath is on Saturday--the 7th day of the week. The Lord rests on the 7th day of the week (throughout the bible) and the date your referring to was a Saturday. The man who proclaimed it (Harold Camping) has little knowledge of the bible. He could be a false prophet which the bible does mention.
freegamecollection 7 months ago
@freegamecollection if the bible is truly the word god would it not be clear and not open to interputation? would a supreme being not be able or willing to fully communicate clearly with humans, this does not make sense. the magic space daddy is there to make obey and work. if you obey your masters and suffer in life, you will be rewarded when you kick the bucket. yeah im not a mind slave. if god was real he would have been looking out for us.
stalkingcat123 7 months ago
@stalkingcat123
I honestly don't think much is open to interpretation besides maybe some of the book of revelation. The problem with Harold Camping's theory is that it wasn't biblical at all and people that don't know much about the bible assume that many religious people expected him to be right..I expected him to be wrong just like you--If you read the bible you will see that the things it says will happen are happening now from crazy storms, people leaving the church, false prophets, ect.
freegamecollection 7 months ago
@freegamecollection storms earthquakes false prophets have existed since the dawn of man nothing new or different if a fiery dragon was in the bible and i saw that walking around i would be inclinded to believe the bible, storms and earthquakes are caused by nature and have proper scientific explanations.
stalkingcat123 7 months ago
@stalkingcat123
to add onto that..I don't think he will be coming back too soon because more things that revelation predicted to happen still need to occur. I think it won't happen in my lifetime honestly, but it wont stop me from believing. Another major problem is the way Christianity is taught in the U.S. bc Americans have interpreted it the wrong way for many years now and have gotten into this cycle of "just ask for forgiveness" without ever actually reading what the bible says
