Zeitgeist Day 2009 event in New York City Part 6 of 6

The last hour of the event was dedicated to the audience to ask questions to the team. I only could get the first few minutes as I ran out of memory. The answer to the last question as where the location for the Venus Project test city could be was any place that is open to the idea(Peter said he got a lot of interest from people in Venezuela) and also somebody mentioned a project in Mexico dubbed the Earth Ship: EarthShip.org. You may want to check that out as well. I should also point that Nano Sphere
(Nano technology) was mentioned more than once during the presentation and you may want to look that up on Wikipedia or any source to further your information on how far we've got.

Zeitgeist Movement event which took place on March 15th 2009 in NYC at the BMCC TRIBECA Performing Arts Center.

Peter said it could be any place(country) with enough support to the idea and that he got positive response from Venezuela so far

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it

I just have one single question, other than that i'm all for a RBE.

How do you allocate resouces without the pricing mechanism? How do you do the calculation in the computer to compare items and decide people's preferences?

Well, memes make up almost all of our ideas. So, how can you say you have a point of view to argue with when your ideas are not even yours? You only have picked up memes that work with other memes and have built an idea that you call yours. Which is really silly because its not.

[Yamakashi1]

what about memes

[Yamakashi1]

well.....

you watch too much hollywood movie. e.g. iRobot, Eagle Eye, etc. you are poisoned.

Seconded for pure awesomeness!

[TJMonster51]

I honestly feel that before any of you start calling each other names and debating this, you all should study MEMEs. The argument will change to a productive one because all the BS will be taken out of the argument.

i think religion is the least of our concerns for the future,the most important point they make (zeitgeist) is that energy problem does have a very simple solution/solutions,technology is vital for solving a lot of our problems and the monetary system doesnt go side by side with evolution of society for many reasons(see the zeitgeist addendum).i think talking about religion,and he is this and that is irrelevant,all the facts are in front of us to make a decision
