  • Fresco is dishonest about this. Technocracy Inc. was the first fully integrated membership group, most likely in the U.S. and that was in 1934.

    For some reason Fresco is still competing with the people he got his ideas from... the technocrats.

    Pity he has to find some notability in.

    Tuskegee University which was ALL black did research as part of the Technical Alliance.

  • So this was the ONLY technocracy group around?

    Hey, I discovered the workings of a wing simply by studying the shape while keeping in mind the concepts of high and low pressure as well as hydro dynamics (which also deals with high and low pressure, but with inertia as well). I didn't get the idea from aerodynamicists. You don't have to be exposed to someone else's work in order to come to the same conclusion.

  • I have listened to a lot of Fresco's interviews and I have failed to notice anything to justify the claim that his motives are primarily ego-based.

  • @blaziermissy .. well strong feelings on both sides. I hope you also feel free to investigate connected information of the technate design.

    If you like Fresco that is fine. As all of the different groups gather momentum it would be hoped that the very best... secular and humanitarian information is the outcome of our future society.

see all

  • Everything Fresco talks about was anticipated by Buckminster Fuller. I have read Fuller's work extensively and never encountered any reference to phrenology, including in his early works. Fuller thought very little of industrial designers like Fresco, however. I suspect Fuller was pulling Fresco's leg. Fresco's attitude to technocracy is also very peculiar, since Fresco himself is a technocrat.

  • for some reason i think fresco doesnt like dogs and cats

    i think he finds them counterproductive and a last (in the german sence of the word)

  • @blaziermissy

    actually I would think that he mean to say that all people have the same fundamental needs, but because we are all different, we are able to have differing interpretations of the same subjects. Allowing ourselves to recognize the importance of considering numerous perspectives keep the mind open to the problems which people encounter while trying to critique a system such as TVP.

  • @Peterwhitlock Yes... that... is the size of it. You are right on Peterwhitlock.

    Everything he knows he got from TechInc and co-opted it then... to his ego.

    For the real thing go to Technocracy technate information. Technocracy Study Course... thermoeconomics... biophysical economics .... energy accounting.

  • @Elzon1

    poor child... where did you learn such concepts and think you got them from some where else? You say you know such concepts but did not learn them? Lies you were told them and so got them from the source like all others then claimed you diod not...think like JF and wind up like JF exposed over and over in follies that his latest one is about thousands of people having bad water due to HYDRO FRAC WELLS he promotes as clean and safe...NOT NOT NOT!

    follow a fool to even worse pollution!

  • @Elzon1

    see you had other than just a wing.... education! jacques Fresco had none and knew nothing of gravity metals loads to bare or anything like that... so all his work is equal to a child with leggo blocks saying this and that so you know what the junk you look at is "supposed to be". He never gives any good solutions and copies from the news the local new wave and runs with that. Hydro frac wells are his latest super blunder exposed...worse than ever pollution proving how wrong he is

  • @TBonePickensetc

    yes we see he is very much take from others then fake it was from himself THEN offer dummy solutions that we expose as dummy solutions...PS after 40 years of watching this con man after fame and money not once have i seen and oriental or black near him...not once! I am not saying he is racist but I see not once proof he is not. The data of the past is what he offers us today and so he is 50-60 years behind the rest of the planet and thinks he is ahead!

  • Agreed. I will investigate and my hopes for a "united" outcome is shared as well.

  • No, he's not grandstanding his ego. That's the whole point. It's not about ego, competition, recognition all unhelpful social by products of this system. He's about promoting a systems approach in allignment with "new social values" that don't promote such egoist behaviors.

    He doesn't advocate being "greater" than anybody. He deems all people equal.
