Venus Project / TZM - Genetic Engineering & Merging with Technology

This video contains proof that The Venus Project and The Zeitgeist Movement advocate genetic engineering and merging with technology, yet when confronted with valid concerns on this subject the official spokesman of The Venus Project and influential member of The Zeitgeist Movement VTV aka Neil tries to deny it. Is he ignorant or deliberately trying to mislead people?

Jacque Fresco goes out and says that he believes in Extensionality in his videos. Which is the advancement of human evolution through technology, but this is not what the Venus Project is about. Any time modification through means of technology to a human body is mentioned the crazies come out of the woodwork. If any of you were to do a little bit of research you'd know that Jacque says this is a possibility of the future and it is already happening. You have amputees using mechanical arms/legs

@lilurik Calling me names like "crazy" and implying I've done no research really really really diminishes your entire argument. I am saying that Fresco, TVP and TZM advocate the creation of such technologies that pose a tremendous danger to the existence of the human race. Nothing about TVP itself suggests that the creation of advanced artificial intelligence or mixing said technology with our human biology would not occur and promotes a way of looking at life which indeed encourages it.

@lilurik -cont- The integration of human an machine is going to happen eventually. I believe under our current system where corporations and money are involved it would be more detrimental than in a society where we aren't bound by money. When I think of a world that TVP is proposing I think of Star Trek. There's an episode where they rescue people frozen in space. The people are from the past and they ask how they will get money and Picard responds we've moved past that system of ownership.

@venusprojection I'm sorry for calling you crazy, I didn't mean it that way. I agree with you to some point. A computer system designed to control all could be dangerous. TVP does walk that fine line. But imagine a computer that doesn't control anything, it just monitors the world. It monitors the the forests, the resources, and the people, but it can't control it. It is just used to alert the people so that they may do something. Computers will be tools. -cont-

@lilurik But as a futurist he predicts these things he doesn't say the Venus Project will do this. What the Venus Project is about is a way of providing the necessities of life to every human being free of charge through way of a self sustaining city. People will be free to explore areas of interest now that they don't have to worry about obtaining food or shelter. It would be a city governed by the scientific method. A method the states your accusations must be able to be tested and replicated.

@GilKail85 by that i mean, that it is so easy for someone to plant chips that can control my mind, and then i will become a mindless drone, if i can think freely without any one controlling me with a computer chip, then i wouldnt mind evolution.

@TheCaptainjuicy

And can you explain me what is free will? What do you realy do today that makes you feel free? or makes you feel that you are making free choises?

[TheCaptainjuicy]

@4evalovenpeace although i don't fully believe in TZM or the venus project, i dont like spirituality and wouldnt mind being posthuman cyborg as long as i keep my free will

This just shows how utterly retarded the TVP supporters are. They don't do ANY research, they just take everything at face value, and follow fresco without question. Learn to think for yourself and stop being mouth monkeys and repeating what fresco and merola say.

Oh, and may I also ad that we are spiritual beings and although our species could artificially evolve into machines, we must honestly ask ourselves if this is the path we want to choose. I like our human bodies and believe that we can change and evolve ourselves as needed by awareness of consciousness & spirituality. When all humans realize the truth about our current paradigm and their true inner power, this whole planet will transform everything that they do. I've looked forward to 2012!
