  • Did he say in the beginning that god "trolls" everything in the universe? thats epic

  • Comment removed

  • roxanne is waiting for her inheritance

  • Why not just order them and the city mails it to you? It should be pretty quick with an automated mailing system that is built right in right? Any entertainment could be instantly downloaded from anywhere to a tablet computer. I could imagine practically everyone owning one of these at all times. You wouldn't even need personal hard drives because all data could be kept in one super hard drive and stream to your computer when needed.

  • F.Y.I. : v=yrFgZpMrKak ... Mr Kak ??? Did you know 'Kak' is Belgian for Shit ..... the disrespect

  • venus project for life :) bitches lol

  • We got to remember that The Venus Project was in motion before Peter Joseph came along. When Peter Joseph made that film, a lot of people started to become suspicious.

  • @packleader1215 Why did they become suspicious?

  • Fuck the romans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • brilliant, brave, and truely passionate ~ I support him~

  • Your sitting there listening to a mastermind and your chewing on gum???

  • I love how he said the first thing we have to learn how to say is, I don't Know.. I've been telling everyone about that exact thing.. I just realized the logical questions and rationalizations, which I've spent years trying to find answers for have no answer except I don't know.. WOW This guy is in his senior years, I'm 25.. I feel like Ive accomplished something big by thinking.. DAMN

  • he's one that is gething high alot! ^_^

  • Eating sounds are putting me off.

  • This guy is a genius. I am going to support this.

  • The problem is that the rich already have what they falsely preceive as a utopia and their slaves who falsely believe they are free will help them every step of the way.

  • same here man, I want a fucking better world cuz I've had enough of the shit we live in up till now. Let's all Spread the word and support this type of society.

  • correct jacques the sins of the father make the sickness by living bad same as th back plague and many others like HIV that is all bout sins of the fathers the means "if you live wrong and things go bad it is YOUR FAULT against NATURE and PERFECTION IN IT..and by the way why is all this a copy of scriptures and history aound the scriptures for then you attack God? Manly p. Hall, and Alice bally and the futuristis of the past all turn in thier graves!

  • @blaziermissy

    proles tactics - use internet to acheive the co-ordination that the elite usually provide. (e.g. OSS)

    big question I have is "Can OpenSource do Art Direction, via *Collaborative Filtering*" they should really be trying to do the VP movie this way to prove a point :)

    in gamedev the consensus is that Art Direction requires a human touch that collaboration can't match.. the 'one in a million' SCARCE expert individualm doesn't matter how many *abundant* artists are thrown at it

  • How would they control population and immigration??? I know for sure some ppl would like to live in a particular city cuz its popular or they like the style of the city..

  • this is all over-optimistic.

    whoever builds these machines will rule the world for their own advantage

    and simply saying 'eliminate scarcity' will not change the finite nature of our planet

  • It really isn't overly optimistic, but yes, your concerns are very well warranted in as far as the behavioral aspects, as they are learned and have been in place for a very long time. If everything is free, though, you cancel out the behaivoral propensity to take advantage over others for gain..it's hording, really...and came about through scarcity.

    No, you can't eliminate those things that are scarce, but you can very well use alternatives or apply tech/science to invent alternatives.

  • call me pessimistic, i see power-structures in the world and observe how they arise & evolve.. i think there will always be imbalances & heirarchy.

    However, we should always work toward flattening it if we possibly can.

    as some americans like to say, "freedom isn't free"

    tech/science can always be used to create power .. money is a side effect.

    examples - designer drugs, or the science of media manipulation.

  • But you're basically saying that we can't evolve mentally to see that the systems are outdated and barbaric, flawed, and even though there are solutions, we should overlook them and forget about it.

    We can't do that....it's our future at stake. We have to lay the foundation.

  • @blaziermissy

    my angle is, there is something inherent about our reality that means we will never be truly content.

    i beleive our experience of reality is nature burning energy in such a way as to increase complexity.. we'll always experience discomfort or discontent with some obstacle, otherwise we wouldn't 'feel' alive.

    this is all philosophy not science, i know..

    there may be 'solutions' on paper but we may never be able to fully execute them in an idealized form. [more]

  • @Walter While I don't try to go against your

    conclusions based on what our brains have been fed in our est.social and economic policy, I think it's imperative to realize that we're discontent b/c our whole system perpetuates and feeds upon our dissatisfaction and insecurity with ourselves. I think you know this. Our behavior is not "our nature," as our behavior is determined by our environment.

    I think you're wrong about our discontent, we've just never had the right systems/educ in place.

  • @blaziermissy

    i think all political ideals - FREE-market, Libertarian, Communism etc probably describe things that have never been fully tried because they're ALL impossible. the only thing you can say about the universe for sure is it changes.

    we got here through evolution and we'd be foolish to assume its a process that just 'stopped'. Someone or something is always trying to out-evolve you, and we need to be realistic about that to deal with the world.. or we'll be sorely dissapointed.

  • Simplified notions of evolution r misleading and e is misunderstood in the black and white thinking.

    You're right, we'll either be realistic about our plight or we wont have a planet to evolve on eventually. Reciprocal cooperation is much needed, and by now that includes the entire globe. It's in ALL of our best interest. People need to get over the children's cartoon version of evolution. It teaches them to fight on the edge of the cliff. BOTH fall off the edge in their ignorance.

  • @blaziermissy

    i do see memes & genes working in parallel whats going on in total is very fairly complex which is why we do still have religions etc.

    evolution does include 'symbioses' as well as competition.

    have you encountered the description of 'elite'-v-'middle'-v-'proles' in 1984

    like 'my enemys enemy is my friend' (&symbioses) but in heirachies. very true

    IMO.

    Shallower heriarchy would be nice, if we can get it.

  • @blaziermissy

    I'd said to friends that 'life makes a lot more sense when you try and look at it from the outside, as if you were an alien observer or david attenborough making a nature documentry'.

    & i'm not talking about physical fighting :) i'm talking about subtle things about how society evolves.

    Taking one step out from your tunnel & it looks absurd but go all the way out and its a lot clearer.

  • yes!!!!!! We have that in common...extraordinary...human natural curiosity and logic is staggering.

    What's so inhibiting is we get stuck in our tradition, egoism.

  • We yield the paintbrush to evolution, and it's time we stopped having a fixed, set view of it.

  • @blaziermissy

    i find the analogies about ants & hiveminds work very well for whats happening to us, if you assume at some point there were no social insects & the specialization appeared gradually

    where we differ from rest of nature is our Software component can evolve faster.

    side note,i read something fascinating recently, they speculate a large chunk of our dna might be from of symbiotic viruses. like beneficial software patches (if a virus can *help* its host, it spreads). fascinating.

  • You should send me a link or title of the article so I can read it.

    Btw, I too, tend to look to analogies of ants from time to time, too. I only wish we could get past our tunnel vision of "work constantly to survive" as we tend not to realize that a well rounded life is conducive to our flourishing. Our minds need REAL stimulation, joy, etc. We are "fixated" on work to much due to our culture. At one time we needed constant labor. Now we don't. It's time to put our brain to better use?

  • @blaziermissy

    google "new scientist symbiotic viruses"

  • @blaziermissy obvious but

    regarding the VP's overall goal, the 'elite-middle-proles' thing works with machines evolving and trying to take a place.

    proles want to evolve the machines symbiotically to overthrow elite,

    The elite also want to evolve the machines, but to eliminate need for proles.

    danger is of course, elite have upper hand. It *doesn't* take that big a workforce to 'evolve he machines'

    add gaia in there as the base layer and you have a lot of the evolution happening today :)

  • @blaziermissy

    personally I think *collectivization* and *individuality* are incompatable.

    VP is Libertarian-Collectivism..(if I understood correctly) but 'collectivism' is inherently giving up personal Freedom for the sake of the Group.

    as you know, I firmly beleive our species future is grim and we can only work to minimize the pain we're in for...

  • @blaziermissy

    Systems:- as i posted on TVPC's vid,

    IMO money just *quantifies* & trades Power.

    power can come from various physical sources

    (i) military(weapons,fighting skill)

    (ii) herd-popularity

    (iii) rare superior intellect

    (iv) reproductive potential

    (v) family connections

    eliminating money alone wont make these things go away. someone's always going to 'get ahead'. If *everyone* had an abundance of everything they wanted, then there'd be no power, but I believe this is impossible

  • /watch?v=8GFQ-rXYnyY

  • @blaziermissy link not working, just showing /videos whats the title

  • /watch?v=8GFQ-rXYnyY

    put w w w (dot) youtube (dot) com in front of it, otherwise I don't think it'll pull it up if I just give you the name of it, but it's titled "The Evolution of Cooperation" by Robert Axlewood

  • @blaziermissy

    the world is usually about picking the least bad option :)

  • this is some pretty valuable video you have

  • One reasonable way to transition from our current environment to one of the Venus Project is to find ways to do it profitably at first until there are enough cities built that it will become self-evident to graduate to a resource-based society even to economists.

    For example, William McDonough claims his concept of "Cradle to Cradle" method is extremely profitable, green, and close to self-sufficient, everything designed from the ground up to be recyclable to the parts per million.

  • If you like this, there is a petition.

  • A petition wouldn't work, because there has never been a government that has directed its people into the next phase of social evolution. A petition is an idiotic idea, who the hell thought that one up? This guy expects the government to just volutarily give up its power over some petition??

  • oh, hi. personally, I think the best nonviolent way to make a great idea happen is by making a petition and spread the word.

    lots to do, bye!

  • there already is one.

  • @jrgoku1000 where do i find?

  • just look for The Venus Project - The Petition Site

    on google. we need a pretty big number, but every vote counts!

  • This system is the way to go if man-kind and the earth are to continue to live healthily together. All will be TRULY HAPPY and TRULY FREE. Lets go for it! This is what it means to be civilised.

  • Is it just me or is his house...just amazing? (sry for going off topic)

  • hoagly - true true

    I think that behind this great man is a great idea which he is trying to spread across the world: Man use the brain to solve anything, not emotions....

  • Communism is impossible to achieve in a monetary system. As long as you have money, you will always have a dictatorship of the elitists. It always serves those in positions of differential advantage. Same with democracy, or any other kind of system that stresses equality of some sort. You can call this system communism, democracy, socialism, or whatever label you wish to put on it, the fact is, this system has no comparison, so don't label it, or you will never understand it.

  • That is a double negative. You messed up your message.

  • Believe it, and want not. I warned you, these are the same grabli.Te same ideas, same calls. What you know about communism is all rumors Government lozhnye USA

  • So, in other words, you can't even prove that your chosen definition of "Communism" would even be bad, because it has never even been tried.

    However, I must stress again that even Anarcho-Communism still relies on personal opinions for decision making and is especially reliant upon manual labor (whether it is altruistic or self-sufficient).

  • This is the digital age. Capitalism is senseless. Consider intellectual property rights. Patents destroy progress. CDs, DVDs, even whole books can be downloaded. These problems are only going to get worse.

    Worse yet is the automation of all sectors. First agriculture, then manufacturing and now the service sector is being displaced by machines (ATMs, Self Check-Out, even automated restaurants!).

  • Either we harness this technology to free us of labor, or we have global unemployment rates above 50% due to technological unemployment (outsourcing of jobs is only the first stage of cutting costs). When this happens, robbery, kidnapping, prostitution and gangs will be on the rise -- big time. It won't be pretty. Just check out the Merva-Fowles study to see the chilling connection between the unemployment rate and violent crime!

    We not only wish to move in another direction, we HAVE to!

  • Not one country in the world, has not seen true communism. Even the USSR was not very far from kommunism.China the more distant, they are only just talking about communism, but they themselves are not.

  • Yugoslavia had TRUE communism, untill Tito died

  • You do not know what communism is, and talk with such confidence!

    Communism is not what you think, but do you think about it so because the U.S. had imposed around the world that communism is evil. U.S. had washed all the head about the idea of communism as zlom.I you believe in it.

  • I know badly English language, I shall tell simply

    Venus Project it is Communism, the same sweet, only in new packing.

    The name has changed only.

    This project can be a trap for you.

    Be cautious, do not do such mistakes as we in 1917.

  • KOYNDG, you are mistaken. Communism still uses appointed leaders, prisons, armies, social stratification and money. In fact, modern Communistic countries are every bit as Capitalistic as the U.S., the only difference is the degree to which the state intervenes in enterprise.

    TVP takes a scientific, technical approach to eliminating scarcity, eliminating the root causes of aberrant behavior as opposed to managing them through quarantine (prisons) and seeks to eliminate government leaders.

  • Soviet people too trusted in the light future, in Communism, to them the same promised. The Venus Project the same Communism, only the name another.

  • It's better than our alternative. Do want to continued to be ruled by power hungry people. Communism implies a form of government. He is not talking about one.

  • very smart man

    i know i will live in this world one day

    it has 2 happen

  • Subscribe to TZM Youtube Channel

    That's the Zeitgeist Movement Channel

    Subscribe to The Venus Project Channel and my channel as well.

  • His ideas are brilliant!

  • Does anyone know of a forum where these types of ideas can be discussed? Apart from youtube i mean :D

  • Well you can either sign up for the Venus project and discuss in there, or go to Zeitgeist movement website and discuss in forums there : )

  • The Zeitgeist Movement website (thezeitgeistmovement[dot]com) has a forum section. TZM is the activist arm of The Venus Project. There are a great deal of activist ideas discussed daily in the Projects section. There is also a section devoted to The Venus Project, although the entire Movement is centered around TVP to begin with.

  • Thanks for the info, Ill have a look.

  • Thanks for posting this. To anyone who watches this--don't worry about the comments and things that ever use an 'ism', like communism and collectivism and fascism. This is a propaganda technique and it highjacks your very reasoning faculties. Learn about the Venus Project yourself, watch his videos, sit and ponder, and enjoy the ride because he's a remarkable man.

  • Jacques Fresco for president

    i'm making Tshirts

  • yeah, that would be kinda nice. too bad him being president would just mean being part of the corrupt establishment though XD

  • No, that's exactly what he doesn't want. In the venus project the scientific method would be used to take decisions and computers will be part of it, no humans. Please search for Zeitgeist Addendum for more info about it.

  • I have seen Zeitgeist Addendum about 10 times and have signed up for the venus project. I completely undestand Jacques viewpoints and theories. I was just trying to be funny through irony....i failed...lol

  • Actually that is pretty funny.

  • I love this man guys....he's doing one thing we aren't apt HE TALKS HONESTLY and CLEARLY....I can't agree with him more. THE ONLY ONE REASON WHY THE WORLD IS THIS WAY IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ON THE VERY TOP WANT IT. Although nobody expect for the richest elity doesn't profit from this our system at all.

  • about the library, the idea behind it is to make instruments available. if they can try out any instrument in existance (wether it's high or normal quality) they can develop themselves better, and make a good choice on what to choose for yourself. i discussed this with someone yesterday and it could really be possible. it would be awesome!

  • I was thinking about the public gear library with the musical instruments.. Would people be aloud to own their own instruments? Or would they have to check them out from this library? because I know with musical instruments it can really be subjective what is considered a "good" instrument. Just a minor observation, but it could be applied to almost everything produced in this kind of society. And I guess it would also depend on what you were used to handling/using/wearing etc.

  • exactly. information-asymetry, differences in opinions.

    Note how one violin can be considered worth $10,000, $100,000 because of quality of sound yet it is just same amount of resource (wood).

    If someone could figure out how to mass-produce that specific instrument they would make fortune.. but *cant*. it's hand-made by one "genius" of craft.

    just a small bit of wood, it has become SCARCE due to special info in construction.

  • venus project will eliminate "SCARCITY"

    does that mean all women will be equally beautiful?

  • Comment removed

  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No, all women will not be equally beautiful in your eyes.

  • keep clicking on 2:39 over and over again, LOL. i need to get a life

  • Hey that guy on the left has a Zeitgeist shirt.

  • i love the way jacque looks at him when he puts his foot there. Classic! lol

  • LOL XD i also like how he moves forward so he puts his foot down

  • torremalku, you are a coward. Why did you remove my comment? So much for debate.

  • Who's foot is that! DAMNED FOOT! FOOT!

  • I really love the idea of a 'public equipment library' that allows you to check out better and better gear as time goes by while you prove that you are responsible for taking care of the items. It could really work!

  • 2:35 Why is that person putting his shoe on the chair on which Jacques Fresco stands? That is disrespectful!

  • this was potentially an interesting and informative video, but the camera work is so unbelievably off angle, off focus (there's more video of the ground, sky and trees than people), and the speech is inaudible beyond the first part. not only that, but the fool who uploaded it is innumerate -- there are multiples of the same clip and missing parts. it amazing how awfully bad this was -- how could someone so interested in a topic make such a mess of recording it ???

  • I LOVE THE WAY YOUR MIND WORKS !

  • no alpha males dont rule the world manipulative weaklings rule the world. alpha males do their own fighting make their own stands, weak parasites leach off of others and lull them into believing that it is for their own good. frescos ideas are not revolutionary it is a part of the nature. no species prey on their own kind as a rule, lack and scarcity demands force and aggression but abundance retards crime and violence and the need for competition. this sounds to me like the kingdom of god.

  • All children can be re-educated to Jacques Fresco Ideas. You start by offering free child care and emmerse the children in a environment built on Jacques Fresco theology. We educate the children how to do petitions and teach them to rip apart the old system. Teach the children how the town council functions as well as the mayor all the flaws of the old system. We show them how to remove the dummies from power !

  • That sounds alot like child indoctrination. It doesnt matter if you thinks its for a good reason it is never the right thing to do.

    The most valuble thing we can teach children is to be skeptical, inquisitive and philosophical. We should encourage them to make up their own minds, we shouldnt be telling them what ot think.

    Try not to get to 'militant' about this.

  • Also, theology is the 'study of god' so it doesnt realy apply here. Philosophy was probably the word you were thinking off.

  • I Will Give you an Education in Political ideology.None of The isms(Communism,Fascism,Sociali­sm and even The Free enterprise system has worked..the venus project offers a new system where the resources of the planet are made available without the use of barter or money.Why should worthless pieces of fiat money prevent the planet from feeding housing and clothing people.There is not enough money to go around but, there is plenty of abundance and technology.

  • @binslick

    actually i would say there is enough money to go around, but humans are greedy. greedy because they are conditioned to think one way, but other than that your correct.

  • @jackthewatchman you need a reality check, my country had communism , which was forced on us, communism ideas is nothing but political system based on fear with nice dreams which are forced on you. the whole idea was nice, but they tried to bring it by force. if they would have let people choose it on thei own free will, it would be global by now... and you are suffer under the delusion that communism is bad

  • With a small amount of money we could make this happen easily. First off we introduce healthy games free on the net.  Same Idea as grand theft auto. Instead of gangster struggling in a city in the old system we integrate Jacques ideas into the game. We build community gaming centres that simulate construction equipment. The repetitive part of the job removed in the game so the child can learn the stages and have fun then he can move on to the reward of what he built.

  • Access to new games has to be earned instead of children begging for quarters mom and dad have to assist him to build something then that tool is used for another game. The children who know how to get throught the lower stages will assist just the same as they did in the games we grew up in!

  • Every human being that believes in community is behind these ideas. Ch Douglas another engineer invented a cure for the system and some great politicians adopted the idea. The idea failed because this man is right about politicians handling the cure. William Aberhart was murdered Ernest manning and then Preston Manning never achieved anything because the banksters stopped them cold.

  • who's behind it then?

  • the individual home owners have to take this idea and make something out of it .if an entire neighbourhood looks like this then only others will take on this idea

  • you should have made a playlist =]

  • This guy is a genius and the Venus Project should be known to all! And with new generations up and coming, their starting to question the way we live...the government dont want u to think coz it makes u question their slavery and power hungry system. Peaceful but effective revolution is the answer and it will happen whether our captors want it or not! Haha Hells Yeah! ;) :D

  • I am not surprised at the masses of misconceptions of a cybernetic society. I am sure the Romans would have thought a world where you can get robot to make a car would be like the sky falling... and they would have fed you to the lions.

  • where is 2/14? i want to hear him talking more about the banks!

  • 20081101132405(2).mpg is the 2nd part

  • wow, that's the best idea ever - about sensors in cars that would prevent car crashes! why aren't we doing that?

  • everything is ready for u not to use u brain anymore..machines will do it for u...so they will strip u off of u human condition...welcome to the nightamare of becoming a cyborg....

  • driving isnt a need though. But i think we need to adapt to this world and not try to make it the other way around. That is life to be able to adapt and arness natures resources and energies.

  • We are dangerously messing around with nature...

  • you clearly do not understand the concept of this revolutionary idea.

  • and u only see the idea and not who is behind it.

  • sadly, because too many people get rich off the deaths of our friends and family. Every time someone dies in a car crash, some huge law firm, or insurance owner makes massive amounts of cash. If you watch Addendum, Scarcity is the main method used. IF no one crashed, how would insurance people make money? they won't and that is the reason our society isn't growing right now.

  • Because alphamales who beat their chest like King Kong still rules the world and the family. If you get out of line then you'll have to deal with 200 pound gorillas who believe in a dusty old book and have guns and who will not "spare the rod" because they don't want to "spoil the rational, thinking child". Does that answer your question?

  • @kittygirl792 because there wouldn't be any car crashes. and car crashes get people jobs so yeah. that's why really. sad isn't it?

  • As a choreographer who read about the human body, i can tell u that the day that i dont go down stairs ( i live in a second floor myself ) i put my hands under the tap running water coz water have electricity also...U body is like a battery that need to be charged coz u brain use electromagnetic signals all the time.....to avoid diseases is better to live on a healthy ground floor..not all grounds are healthy and house prices goes with it.

  • Heaven on Earth =] can'tt wait

  • Where Fresco live himself ?

  • Venus, Florida, the United States.....The Venus Project is also where he lives, 10 buildings, 1 building is where he lives.

  • It is very bad for the human body to live above 2nd or 3rd floor..U body is an electromagnetic field needing positive ions from from the electromagnic field of the ground..the poorest around the world have been piled up in this monstruosity of towers and u supporting it ? Would u like to live in this pigeon holes or would u prefere to have a little garden with a tree ? Where the richest live today ? Where the poor immigrants live everywhere if not in this kind of housing ? Wake up people !

  • You realize the electromagnetic field that is spread around the earth goes up about 50 miles in the air right? What about the people who live above sea level? Are you talking about being close to the ground, or being close to sea level? You've got some fallacies in your statements.

    Your body does NOT thrive off ions, it survives off of the necessities (food, water, shelter, air, etc) and a proper mindset.

  • I have lived in La Paz, Bolivia 4 many years, and to live above the sea level got nothing to do with living in big buildings, the effect living on high natural level is more related to breathing problems, in spanish is called "mal de alturas"..difficulties in breathing coz atmospheric pression but still people are touching the ground.Living in very high artificial man made upper floors got nothing to do with mountains.U body need to touch the ground to be healthy coz it get electricity from it.

  • the boy has a natural flow of electrons and energy (Bioelectricity). The fact of where someone lives or thrives has nothing to do with the body's good health. Someone who lives in a 10 story tower can be rich, but fat at the same time. its all dependent on our choices

  • U body is composed of negative and positive ions...and the positive ones comes mostly from earth, water, air and fire...the basic natural elements...the closest we are to nature, the better health we will have...where the oldest people on earth live ? Dont tell me that in upper floors but in far and away mountains, sorrounded by the 4 elements.

  • Jacque Fresco has truly been a man ahead of his time!

    I really hope the Venus Project is realized in our lifetime.

  • I like how Zeitgeist explained the way we are being controlled with money. Everyone is corrupt, but, i think god ill prevail and diminish the evil

  • he will if he has a force behind him. he does work through us...he cant do it alone.

  • pretty hot journalist

  • lol what does that mean?

  • he's saying that jacques is working against god. i think that's crap, all the agressive warlike people are who works against god. not that i believe in him.

  • what does that mean?

  • watch?v=i8FWOz0CyiE

  • Some of us try our best to live this way despite the people around us. It has bothered me since grade school that money runs the world. The government isn't ignorant, so much as they are saving their jobs. Without problems, there is no need for government, hence there will always be problems until we do away with money, and government.

  • SPREAD THE WORD!

  • Do you think this is the 1st time a humanitarian "utopia" has been offered, gets a grass roots movement behind it that feels like they are the first to see how ALL the problems of mankind can be solved by adopting a "new" system?

    The reality ALWAYS ends up with a powerful elite, and a controlled mass population.

    Be sceptical/suspicious of ANY movement that offers Utopia!

  • Keep in mind that if you just sit and do nothing then you will make no change. What happens with revolutions like this is they fail because people get greedy. Human nature makes Utopia impossible, but we can get close and we will never get anywhere if we don't try.

  • if this is, as you put it, a "humanitarian utopia" this is the first time in history that it´s meant for the well being of EVERY human being.

  • it's not about utopia, its about 'better'

  • Utopia is a state of mind. This is just a logical way to live. Open your min, not your sphincter!

  • But this is the first time in history where scarcity can truly be abolished and abundance and automation can free all human's if we all get on board and wake up.

  • Yes,finally some one understands.

  • That is true, however, what this man is talking about is a system which is dependent on individual ingenuity to run things rather than having politicians dictate to us. The venus project is not a dictorial control based idea, it is an idea that will put ultimate power in the peoples hands for the better of mankind. It is up to people like you and I who understand that there are alternate routes that politics doesnt offer to take these ideas and allocate that knowledege to others.

  • damn. my whole life was a lie.

  • whoa, that's a revelation.....

  • truth.

  • Jacques Fresco is THE MAN!
