Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitous based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.
STOP COMPLYING WITH THE SYSTEM!
RIGHT NOW!!!

Really, we should make it unappealing to be a politician. You should make a living, but not three or four times the national average. You should not be allowed to own property. You should be provided the necessities, with perhaps a few luxuries, but nothing enticing enough to make anyone want to do it for anything other that pure desire for truth. Another pipe dream I guess. The republic is dead.

So we all win. The people spend significantly less on mortgages. The government receives more to distribute and run a healthy country. The only people who lose are the bankers. And lets face it, they are not really people at all. They are vampires, sucking the blood out of our society. There are other problems to be addressed, but I believe that after removing campaign contributions, this is the most important step.That is, until the gold souls are allowed to rule again.

Think about it. One simple step could change almost everything. Nationalizing the banks. The Canadian government spends roughly $165,000,000 on interest to chartered banks. If the government used the bank of Canada for currency production, you eliminate about $60,000,000,000 a year in government spending. Next, mortgages come from the government. At 1% or 2%. That creates a cash flow into the government so that they can put it towards infrastructure, social programs, etc etc.

I personally believe that a mixture of socialism and capitalism are what we need. Nationalization of the banks, for one. Removing campaign contributions. Nationalizing power, gas, oil, water, sewage. Harsher punishments for white collar crimes. These are obvious solutions to what politicians want us to believe is a complicated problem that often only be solved through "Austerity", which means you have to pay more tax, and receive less government spending.

I was really on board with Zeitgeist for a long time, but after years of mulling over it, discussing, joining the "Zeitgeist" local chapter (or at least attending some meetings) I have come to the conclusion that this is a pipe dream, and not realistic whatsoever. Competition drives people. All of the technology needed to make this "Venus Project" a reality were born from capitalism. But capitalism inherently creates an ever growing gap between the rich and the poor. So what is the answer?

This is the most beautiful idea I've ever seen. Clean energy in abundance. All that needs to be done is change the system first. Where can I go to learn more about this and to show support for these ideas?

@maleavail. That's assuming the context of today's society. Imagine a world where there isn't a competition for resources? Imagine a world where children grow up taught good values, and are not affected negatively by the media. Animals =/= humans, they do not have the mental capacity of our species. We have animalistic tendencies, but we are separate from other species by our brains.
