... doesn't mean they are not related to it. I think all, or almost all his work, has an a good explanatory power on human behaviour, and I don't know of any scientific advances that have rejected his findings. This is also true about other scientists in history, such as Newton or Galileu, which work has revealed very accurate and usefull later. Skinner's findings can one day become very relevant and useful, and help us to reach the changes we need.

The greatest contradiction: how can somebody so old be so forward thinking and new?

[mdlittle5466]

@SlipAllCityToy I agree...but that, in and of itself, is easily understood. It's called 'bandwagon mentallity' whereas individuals will go along with the group simply because a group is going somewhere. They do not inherently understand why the group is forming or where they are going, they just go along with it simply because they enjoy the ride and feel like they are a part of something even though they don't know exactly what they are a part of...hopefully they will learn.

@basscataz what do you mean by "anti-individual"? take into consideration social factors that in America differ greatly from what most people on this world consider "individualism".

[CyberFenix000]

wow... either when i became old i went back in time and i changed my name to Jacques Fresco, or he is my grandfather...

[SlipAllCityToy]

There's nothing wrong with Jacque or Joseph, in fact they're both fascinating minds.

The problem is some of the Zeitgeisters that never spent one minute of their lives questioning any of this, they just jump abroad, and I think that you have to go through all of the mind process before jumping to extreme conclusions, again, Jacque is great, the Zeitgeisters I have met aren't.

Not trying to hurt anyone here (:

[basscataz]

man, i love this guy, but " let's let teachers DECIDE whats relavent"?? and "i don't need to go to a city to know what the people are like"? sounds pretty anti-individual for an anti-robot guy? i know that this is a heavy and thick topic, just some thoughts to chew........... and 7:20 ish, is he trying to say that there are people who are qualified?

people live what their nation holds as example. If you have competition between democrats and republicans, competition is easy to be seen as virtue in politics, and doesn't seem to die; and thus becomes a culture of its own. So with the money and importance with a monetary system. Remember... money can grow but people who access it are limited. Majority of the food is limitless, technology can be limitless, education also, but what holds these great benefits to our survival are the cost.

EXACTLY! "Why go to the moon when the Earth is falling apart." I have been saying this for years!!! It makes no sense! We can't take care of our own, so why are we going to other countries and outer space? We're clearly not yet ready for that.
